Sync Linear issues to Todoist tasks automatically (create, update, close)

✨ Try It Out!

Sync your Linear issues to Todoist automatically with this n8n workflow. When an issue is created, updated, or completed in Linear, a corresponding task is created, updated, or closed in Todoist.

⚙️ How It Works

• Triggered by issue changes via linearTrigger
• Routes based on action (create, update, remove)
• Checks if a matching Todoist task already exists (via issue ID)
• If the issue has:
  • A due date
  • And is assigned to you ([email protected])
    ➤ Then it creates or updates the task accordingly
• If the issue is marked Done, the Todoist task is closed
• If it's deleted in Linear, the Todoist task is also removed
• Sub-issues get enriched with their parent title for clarity

🛠️ Customization

• Replace [email protected] with your Linear email in the IF nodes
• Adjust which states are synced (e.g. “In Progress”, “Todo”...)
• Customize the Todoist project, labels, or title formatting

⚠️ Bi-directional Sync?

This workflow is one-way (Linear ➜ Todoist).
Bi-directional syncing might be possible but isn’t handled here—it would be a cool upgrade!

✅ Requirements

• n8n with OAuth2 access to Linear and Todoist
• Your Linear email set in the workflow for filtering
• A target Todoist project (default: Inbox)
