Bring reopened GitHub issues back to Todoist
Notis responds to a reopened issue by restoring its completed Todoist task, making renewed work visible without manual reconstruction.
Trigger
New Issue Event
Triggers when a new issue event occurs in a GitHub repository. Covers all issue timeline events such as issues being closed, reopened, assigned, unassigned, labeled, unlabeled, milestoned, demilestoned, renamed, locked, or unlocked. Events can optionally be filtered by type. The payload includes the event type, timestamp, the actor who triggered the event, the affected issue details, and any associated commit references.
Action
Reopen Task
This tool reopens a previously completed task.
Why this helps
An issue can return after a supposed fix while its companion task remains completed and invisible in the planning system.
- Restores unfinished work to the active list immediately
- Retains the original task context instead of duplicating it
- Makes regressions harder to overlook
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Todoist to Notis.
- 2Ask Notis to reopen the linked Todoist task when a GitHub issue is reopened.
- 3Select New Issue Event filtered to reopened events and set the report channel.
- 4Reopen a completed test issue and confirm the task returns.
Questions about this workflow
Will this create a duplicate task?
No. The Todoist action reopens the existing completed task rather than creating another one.
What if the old task cannot be found?
Use a consistent issue URL or number in the original task and ask Notis to report a clear exception instead of guessing.
