Sync Linear Issues to Todoist Tasks Automatically (Create, Update, Close)

Description

✨ Try It Out!
Sync your Linear issues to Todoist automatically with this n8n workflow. When an issue is created, updated, or completed in Linear, a corresponding task is created, updated, or closed in Todoist.

⚙️ 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)
