Todoist weekly email of completed tasks

This workflow template helps Todoist users get a weekly overview of their completed tasks via email, making it easier to review their past week.

Why use this workflow?

Todoist doesn’t provide completed task reports or filters in its built-in reports or n8n app. This workflow solves that by using Todoist’s public API to fetch your completed tasks.

How it works

• Runs every Friday afternoon (or manually).
• Uses the Todoist public API to retrieve completed tasks.
• Excludes specific projects you set (e.g., a grocery list).
• Sends an email summary, grouping tasks by the day they were completed.

Set up steps

1. Copy your Todoist API token (found here).
2. Create a Todoist API credential in n8n.
3. Create an SMTP credential in n8n.
   • Alternatively, use a preferred email service like Brevo, Mailjet, etc.
4. Import this workflow template.
5. In the Get completed tasks via Todoist API step, select your Todoist API credential.
6. In the Send Email step:
   • Select your SMTP credential.
   • Set the sender and recipient email addresses.
7. Run the workflow manually and check your inbox!

Ignoring specific projects

If you do not want your grocery list, workouts, or other tasks from specific Todoist projects showing up in your weekly summary, modify the step called Optional: Ignore specific projects and change this line:

const ignoredProjects = ['2335544024'];

This should be an array with the id of each project you'd like to ignore. You can find a list of your projects (inc. their Ids) by visiting this link: https://api.todoist.com/rest/v2/projects
