Automate GitHub + Todoist with GAIA
Turn GitHub issues and PRs into Todoist tasks automatically
Developers often juggle GitHub issues and pull requests alongside personal tasks in Todoist, but the two systems never talk to each other. An issue gets assigned in GitHub, but it never makes it onto your Todoist today list. A PR review sits waiting while you work through a Todoist task board that has no awareness of your code queue. The result is context-switching overhead and work falling through the cracks between two separate workflows.
GAIA connects GitHub and Todoist so your development work and personal task management stay aligned. When a GitHub issue is assigned to you or a PR requests your review, GAIA can instantly create a corresponding Todoist task with the right project, priority, and due date. When you close the issue or merge the PR, GAIA marks the Todoist task complete so your list stays clean without manual updates.
This integration is especially useful for solo developers and small teams who rely on Todoist for personal productivity but live in GitHub for actual development. Instead of maintaining two separate to-do systems, you get a single Todoist inbox that reflects everything on your plate — code work included.
5 things you can automate
Everything GAIA can do when GitHub and Todoist are connected.
Auto-create tasks from assigned GitHub issues
Whenever a GitHub issue is assigned to you, GAIA creates a matching Todoist task in your developer project with the issue title, a link back to GitHub, and a due date derived from any milestone attached to the issue.
Add PR review requests to your Todoist inbox
When a teammate requests your review on a pull request, GAIA adds a high-priority Todoist task so code reviews never get buried under other notifications. The task includes the PR title, author, and direct link.
Close Todoist tasks when issues are resolved
GAIA watches GitHub for issue closures and PR merges, then automatically marks the corresponding Todoist tasks complete. Your task list reflects the real state of your work without any manual cleanup.
Daily GitHub digest as a Todoist task
Each morning GAIA creates a single Todoist task summarizing your open GitHub issues, pending reviews, and unresolved PR comments so you start the day with a clear picture of what needs attention in code.
Milestone deadline reminders in Todoist
GAIA monitors GitHub milestone due dates and creates Todoist reminder tasks several days before deadlines so you can plan your development sprint without having to check GitHub project boards manually.
How to set it up
Connect GitHub and Todoist to GAIA in three steps.
- 1
Connect GitHub and Todoist to GAIA
Authenticate your GitHub account and Todoist workspace in GAIA's integration settings using OAuth. GAIA only requests the permissions it needs — repository read access for GitHub and task write access for Todoist.
- 2
Configure your sync preferences
Tell GAIA which GitHub repositories to watch, which Todoist project should receive the tasks, how to map GitHub labels to Todoist priorities, and when due dates should be set. Natural language rules work here.

GAIA keeps both systems in sync automatically
From that point on, GAIA monitors GitHub events in real time and updates Todoist accordingly. You can also ask GAIA conversationally to create, update, or close tasks across both platforms at any time.
