Automatically Create Daily Todoist Task List

This n8n workflow streamlines your daily productivity by automating Todoist task creation and cleanup. Every morning at 5:00 AM, it deletes any uncompleted tasks from the previous day, ensuring a clean slate. At 5:10 AM, it fetches tasks from a designated template project, parses custom instructions like 'days:mon,tues; due:8pm' embedded in task descriptions, and creates new tasks in your Inbox with appropriate due dates and recurrence rules.

The workflow uses cron triggers for scheduling, Todoist nodes for reading/deleting/creating tasks, and a JavaScript code node to parse template details. Setup is straightforward: connect your Todoist credentials, create a template project with annotated tasks, and specify source/target project IDs in the nodes. No spreadsheets involved despite subcategory; it's purely Todoist-focused.

Benefits include massive time savings on manual task setup, consistent daily routines, and flexibility for recurring tasks (e.g., weekly meetings or evening chores). Ideal for professionals, students, or anyone using Todoist for GTD or habit tracking. Reduces decision fatigue and ensures nothing slips through cracks, boosting overall productivity.
