Automate Todoist Tasks in HubSpot Workflows

Connecting Todoist with HubSpot workflows lets you automatically create organized tasks whenever records change, helping your team follow up quickly and consistently.

This guide explains how to configure the native actions so you can build reliable task automation without code.

Requirements for Using HubSpot with Todoist

Before you add Todoist actions to any workflow, make sure your accounts and permissions are correctly set up.

• A HubSpot account with access to workflows (Professional or Enterprise tier for the relevant hub).
• A Todoist account with permission to create tasks and access projects.
• Connected accounts for both tools so you can authenticate inside the workflow editor.

If your portal is managed by a HubSpot admin, confirm that workflows are enabled and that you have edit access to the object you plan to automate, such as deals or tickets.

Supported HubSpot Object Types

The Todoist task actions are available in specific workflow types. You can add them when your workflow is based on one of the following:

• Deals
• Tickets
• Company-based records
• Custom objects that support workflows

Contact-based workflows may not offer every Todoist configuration option. Always check the right sidebar in the workflow editor to confirm which actions appear for your chosen object type.

Connect Todoist to HubSpot

To use Todoist actions, you must first connect the integration from inside your workflow. The connection usually needs to be completed only once per account.

Step 1: Open the HubSpot Workflow Editor

1. In your account navigation, go to Automation > Workflows.
2. Create a new workflow or open an existing one that uses a supported object, such as deals.
3. Configure the enrollment triggers so the right records enter the automation.

Step 2: Add a Todoist Action in HubSpot

1. In the workflow canvas, click the plus (+) icon where you want the Todoist step to appear.
2. In the actions panel, search for Todoist.
3. Select the Create Todoist task action.

If this is your first time using the integration in HubSpot, you are prompted to connect your Todoist account.

Step 3: Authorize Todoist from HubSpot

1. Click Connect or Authorize when the Todoist window appears.
2. Sign in to Todoist if you are not already logged in.
3. Review the requested permissions and approve access so HubSpot can create tasks on your behalf.

After authorization, the action panel refreshes and you can configure the task details that HubSpot will send to Todoist.

Configure Todoist Task Details in HubSpot

Once the connection is active, you can specify exactly what the automation should create in Todoist each time a record enrolls in the workflow.

Choose the Target Todoist Project

Select which project will receive new tasks created through HubSpot:

• Open the Project dropdown in the action settings.
• Pick an existing Todoist project, such as Sales Follow-ups or Customer Support.
• Optionally, define a specific section if your project uses sections to group tasks.

Using a dedicated project for automated tasks makes it easier to review all items that originated from HubSpot.

Set the Task Name and Description

The most important fields are the task title and the task description. Both can combine static text with record data from HubSpot.

• Task Name: Use personalization tokens, such as deal name, ticket ID, or company domain.
• Description: Add context from properties like owner, lifecycle stage, or priority.

Example configuration for a deal-based workflow:

• Task Name: “Follow up on deal {{Deal name}}”.
• Description: “Deal amount: {{Amount}}. Pipeline: {{Deal pipeline}}. Owner: {{Deal owner}}.”

Dynamic tokens ensure each Todoist task created from HubSpot includes accurate details without manual copy-paste.

Configure Due Date and Priority from HubSpot

You can improve task management by defining when the task is due and how important it is.

• Due Date: Choose a fixed date, a relative date (for example, two days after enrollment), or map it from a date property in HubSpot.
• Priority: Set the task priority to match your internal process, such as high for urgent support tickets and normal for standard follow-up items.

Align these settings with any existing service-level agreements or internal response-time rules your team follows in HubSpot.

Assign the Task to the Right Person

To keep ownership clear, assign tasks directly in Todoist via data coming from HubSpot.

• Use the Assignee field in the action.
• Optionally map the assignee to a HubSpot owner property if email addresses match between the two systems.
• Alternatively, route all automated tasks to a shared project owner and reassign manually in Todoist later.

Consistent assignment prevents tasks created by HubSpot from being overlooked in large teams.

Test and Review the HubSpot Automation

Before you turn the workflow on for all records, test the integration using sample data.

Run a Test Enrollment in HubSpot

1. In the workflow editor, click Test or use the testing panel, depending on your account interface.
2. Choose a sample record, such as a single deal or ticket, that meets the enrollment criteria.
3. Run the test and watch how the record moves through each action, including the Todoist step.

HubSpot shows whether the action executed successfully so you can confirm that the task request reached Todoist.

Verify the Task in Todoist

1. Open Todoist in your browser or app.
2. Navigate to the project you selected in the HubSpot action settings.
3. Confirm that a new task exists with the correct name, description, due date, and priority.

If details are incorrect, return to the workflow editor in HubSpot and adjust your tokens or static text, then test again.

Use Cases for HubSpot and Todoist Together

Automated tasks created from workflows can support many different teams.

• Sales follow-up: When a deal reaches a specific stage, HubSpot creates a Todoist task reminding the owner to call the prospect.
• Post-sale handoff: When a deal closes, a task is created in an onboarding project with links back to the company record.
• Support escalation: When a high-priority ticket is opened, HubSpot triggers a Todoist task for a specialist to review the case.

By centralizing record management in HubSpot and task execution in Todoist, your team gains a clearer, more actionable workflow.

Manage and Edit Todoist Actions in HubSpot

Once your automation is live, you can refine the settings as your process evolves.

• Reopen the workflow to edit the Todoist task action fields at any time.
• Update tokens when you add or rename properties in HubSpot.
• Turn the workflow off temporarily if you need to pause new task creation during process changes.

Any edit to the workflow affects only future enrollments; already-created Todoist tasks will not update retroactively from HubSpot.
