How to connect Linear and Todoist

Step 1: Create a new workflow
Step 2: Add and configure nodes
Step 3: Connect
Step 4: Customize and extend your integration
Step 5: Test and activate your workflow

Step 1: Create a new workflow and add the first step

In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.

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

⚙️ 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)
