Gmail Inbox to Todoist Tasks with AI Solve Propositions

This workflow intelligently processes your Gmail inbox by analyzing email threads with AI (OpenAI) to extract key insights and create actionable Todoist tasks. Upon triggering (e.g., Email Trigger or manual), it checks for existing open Todoist tasks matching the email subject. If none exist, AI generates a Todoist-ready task including a content summary, proposed actions, and a draft reply. This streamlines handling emails that require quick tasks or team delegation before responding.

Key benefits include massive time savings by avoiding manual thread analysis, reducing inbox overload, and enabling team collaboration—assign tasks, await completion, then copy-paste AI replies. It also auto-closes Todoist tasks if emails are unstarred (indicating resolution) while avoiding unstarring for closed tasks to prevent inconsistencies.

Ideal use cases: Busy professionals with high email volumes, shared team inboxes, or anyone needing pre-reply actions like research or approvals. Setup requires Gmail, Todoist, and OpenAI credentials; optional 'Read and Star' section for auto-tasking starred emails. Triggers are flexible for schedules or IMAP triggers.
