Capture Todoist Tasks from Google Chat Instantly

Neotask connects Google Chat and Todoist so action items from team conversations become tracked tasks without switching apps.

Chat Messages Become Tasks

Action items mentioned in Google Chat are captured as Todoist tasks with context, assignee, and due date extracted automatically.

Daily Standup Visibility

Open Todoist tasks post to your Google Chat space each morning so the whole team sees priorities in one place.

Completion Alerts in Chat

When a Todoist task is marked complete, a notification posts to the relevant Google Chat space automatically.

What You Can Automate

Action Item Capture

When an action item surfaces in Google Chat, Neotask creates a Todoist task with assignee and due date pulled from the conversation.

Morning Standup Digest

Neotask posts open Todoist tasks to a Google Chat space each morning so standups start with full team visibility.

Task Completion Notifications

Completed Todoist tasks trigger a formatted Google Chat update so teams stay informed without checking Todoist manually.

Weekly Due Date Review

Neotask pulls Todoist tasks due this week and formats them as a Google Chat message for team review on Mondays.

Project Channel Briefings

Before a project meeting, Neotask posts all open Todoist tasks for that project to the matching Google Chat space.

How It Works

Step 1

Tell Neotask what you need: for example, 'Create a Todoist task whenever someone mentions an action item in our project space'

Step 2

Neotask monitors the specified Google Chat spaces and routes action items to Todoist with assignees and due dates extracted from the conversation

Step 3

Task updates flow back to Google Chat automatically - completions, due-date summaries, and morning digests keep everyone aligned without manual effort

Google Chat and Todoist: From Conversation to Completion

Teams make decisions and assign work in Google Chat every day. The problem is that action items buried in chat threads rarely become tracked tasks. Someone has to copy the message, open Todoist, create the task, set a due date, and assign it. That process breaks down under pressure.

Neotask automates the entire handoff so nothing slips through.

Message-to-Task Without the Friction

When an action item surfaces in a Google Chat space, Neotask reads the conversation via List Messages, extracts the commitment, and creates a Todoist task via Create Task with the right assignee and due date. The task is created before the conversation moves on.

Bringing Todoist Into Chat

Not every team member checks Todoist consistently. Neotask solves this by posting task updates where your team already lives - Google Chat. A morning digest of open tasks, completion alerts when work is done, and weekly due-date summaries all route through Create Message so your team stays informed without toggling between tools.

Pre-Meeting Task Briefings

Before a project standup, Neotask can pull open Todoist tasks filtered by project via List Tasks and format them as a Google Chat message. Meetings start with shared context rather than status updates that eat up half the call.

Built for Google Workspace Teams

Organizations using Google Workspace get the most from this integration because Google Chat spaces already map to teams and projects. Neotask respects that structure - routing tasks and updates to the right spaces based on the workflow you define.

The result is a team that captures every commitment made in chat, tracks it in Todoist, and stays updated on progress without manual effort on either side.

Pro Tips

Tip

Name your Google Chat spaces to match Todoist project names so Neotask can route tasks to the right project automatically.

Tip

Use a trigger phrase like 'action item:' in chat messages to make it easy for Neotask to identify tasks reliably.

Tip

Set up a dedicated Google Chat space for Todoist digest posts to keep updates separate from active conversation threads.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Neotask assign Todoist tasks to specific team members based on who was mentioned in chat?

Yes. Neotask can read @mentions from Google Chat messages and assign the resulting Todoist task to the corresponding team member.

Does Neotask work with all Google Chat spaces or only specific ones?

You choose which spaces Neotask monitors when you set up the automation - it only watches the spaces you explicitly specify.

Can I send Todoist task updates to multiple Google Chat spaces at once?

Yes. You can configure Neotask to route updates to different spaces based on project, task label, or assignee.

What happens if a task is already in Todoist when the automation runs?

Neotask can check for duplicates before creating a new task, so existing tasks are not recreated if the same action item appears multiple times in chat.
