Title

Prioritize Todoist tasks and send a daily summary to Slack

Who’s it for

Busy professionals, team leads, and freelancers who want a plug-and-play, AI-assisted morning briefing that turns messy task lists into a clear, actionable plan.

What it does / How it works

At 08:00 every morning, the workflow pulls open tasks from Todoist. An AI agent scores and ranks them by urgency, importance, dependencies, and effort, then produces a concise plan. You receive the summary in Slack (Markdown). Overdue or critical items are highlighted with warnings.

How to set up

  1. Connect OAuth for Todoist and Slack.
  2. Select your posting channel in Send to Slack.
  3. Adjust the time in Morning Schedule Trigger (default 08:00).
  4. Run once to verify the parser output and Slack preview, then set the workflow Active.

Requirements

  • n8n (cloud or self-hosted)
  • Todoist account / Slack workspace
  • LLM provider connected in the AI node (do not hardcode keys in HTTP nodes)

How to customize the workflow

  • Edit the prompt in AI Task Analyzer to tweak prioritization rules.
  • Adjust Format AI Summary to match your tone and structure.
  • Add filters in the Todoist node (e.g., due today).
  • (Optional) Log results to Google Sheets or a database for analytics.

Disclaimer (community node)

This template uses a community LangChain node for AI features and is intended for self-hosted n8n. Add a workflow image at the top of your submission page for a clearer preview.

Prioritize Todoist Tasks with OpenRouter AI and Send Daily Summaries to Slack

This n8n workflow leverages the power of OpenRouter AI to intelligently prioritize your Todoist tasks and then sends a daily summary of these prioritized tasks to a designated Slack channel. It helps you focus on what matters most by providing an AI-driven perspective on your daily to-dos.

What it does

This workflow automates the following steps:

  1. Triggers Daily: The workflow runs on a scheduled basis, typically once a day, to process your tasks.
  2. Fetches Todoist Tasks: It retrieves all active tasks from your Todoist account.
  3. Prioritizes with AI: It sends your Todoist tasks to an OpenRouter AI Chat Model. The AI agent analyzes the tasks and provides a prioritized list or recommendations.
  4. Parses AI Output: The AI's response is structured and then parsed to extract the prioritized task information.
  5. Updates Todoist (Implicit/Placeholder): While not explicitly shown with a Todoist update node, the "Edit Fields" node suggests that the AI's prioritization might be used to modify task properties (e.g., priority levels, due dates, or adding notes) before a summary is sent.
  6. Sends Slack Summary: A summary of the prioritized tasks is then sent to a specified Slack channel, keeping you informed and focused.

Prerequisites/Requirements

To use this workflow, you will need:

  • n8n Instance: A running instance of n8n.
  • Todoist Account: An active Todoist account with tasks.
  • OpenRouter API Key: An API key for OpenRouter to access their AI models.
  • Slack Account: A Slack workspace and a channel where you want to receive the daily summaries.
  • n8n Credentials: Configured credentials for Todoist, OpenRouter, and Slack within your n8n instance.

Setup/Usage

  1. Import the Workflow: Download the provided JSON and import it into your n8n instance.
  2. Configure Credentials:
    • Todoist: Create or select an existing Todoist credential.
    • OpenRouter Chat Model: Create or select an OpenRouter credential and ensure your API key is correctly entered.
    • Slack: Create or select a Slack credential and authorize it with your Slack workspace.
  3. Customize Nodes:
    • Schedule Trigger: Adjust the schedule to your preferred daily execution time.
    • Todoist (Get All Tasks): Configure this node to fetch tasks according to your preferences (e.g., specific projects, labels, or filters).
    • AI Agent / OpenRouter Chat Model: Review and adjust the prompt for the AI agent to guide its prioritization logic effectively. You might want to specify criteria for prioritization (e.g., "prioritize based on urgency and importance," "suggest the top 3 tasks for today").
    • Edit Fields (Set): This node is a placeholder. You might need to expand its functionality to explicitly update Todoist tasks based on the AI's output, or simply format the data for the Slack message.
    • Slack: Configure the Slack node to send the summary to your desired channel and customize the message format using data from the previous nodes.
  4. Activate the Workflow: Once configured, activate the workflow to start receiving daily prioritized task summaries.

Zoho CRM – Social Media Engagement Tracker This workflow automatically monitors new or updated Contacts in Zoho CRM, enriches them using People Data Labs, checks public visibility across News + Reddit, calculates an engagement score and updates Zoho CRM fields accordingly. When a Contact shows high online engagement, the workflow automatically opens a Deal and logs a note to help sales teams act quickly. 🚀 Quick Implementation Import this workflow JSON into n8n. Add Zoho OAuth2 credentials & set webhook URL. Add People Data Labs API Key & GNews API Key. Ensure CRM custom fields exist-SocialProfiles,EngagementScore,MentionsCounts,SocialStatus Update a Contact in Zoho → watch automation fire! 🔍 What It Does This automation transforms a simple Zoho CRM instance into a proactive intelligence system that detects which contacts are gaining public attention online. When a Contact is created or updated in Zoho CRM, n8n automatically retrieves verified profile data such as LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook and GitHub using People Data Labs — eliminating manual research and spreadsheet maintenance. Next, the workflow checks whether the contact is appearing in global News platforms (via GNews) or being discussed on Reddit. It analyzes the volume and context of these public mentions to estimate how relevant, visible or influential the person may be online. Each discovered activity contributes to a calculated Engagement Score. That score and all enrichment details are written back to Zoho CRM, helping sales and marketing teams instantly identify high-potential contacts. When the score exceeds a defined threshold, the workflow even creates a Deal automatically — meaning your CRM will notify your team of hot prospects before someone else reaches them. This safeguards missed opportunities, speeds outreach and improves your entire pipeline efficiency. 🎯 Who’s It For B2B sales teams & SDRs. CRM admins improving data quality.

Monitor CISA critical vulnerability alerts with RSS feed & Slack notifications

--- How It Works: The 5-Node Monitoring Flow This concise workflow efficiently captures, filters, and delivers crucial cybersecurity-related mentions. Monitor: Cybersecurity Keywords (X/Twitter Trigger) This is the entry point of your workflow. It actively searches X (formerly Twitter) for tweets containing the specific keywords you define. Function: Continuously polls X for tweets that match your specified queries (e.g., your company name, "Log4j," "CVE-2024-XXXX," "ransomware"). Process: As soon as a matching tweet is found, it triggers the workflow to begin processing that information. Format Notification (Code Node) This node prepares the raw tweet data, transforming it into a clean, actionable message for your alerts. Function: Extracts key details from the raw tweet and structures them into a clear, concise message. Process: It pulls out the tweet's text, the user's handle (@screen_name), and the direct URL to the tweet. These pieces are then combined into a user-friendly notificationMessage. You can also include basic filtering logic here if needed. Valid Mention? (If Node) This node acts as a quick filter to help reduce noise and prevent irrelevant alerts from reaching your team. Function: Serves as a simple conditional check to validate the mention's relevance. Process: It evaluates the notificationMessage against specific criteria (e.g., ensuring it doesn't contain common spam words like "bot"). If the mention passes this basic validation, the workflow continues. Otherwise, it quietly ends for that particular tweet. Send Notification (Slack Node) This is the delivery mechanism for your alerts, ensuring your team receives instant, visible notifications. Function: Delivers the formatted alert message directly to your designated communication channel. Process: The notificationMessage is sent straight to your specified Slack channel (e.g., cyber-alerts or security-ops). End Workflow (No-Op Node) This node simply marks the successful completion of the workflow's execution path. Function: Indicates the end of the workflow's process for a given trigger. --- How to Set Up Implementing this simple cybersecurity monitor in your n8n instance is quick and straightforward. Prepare Your Credentials Before building the workflow, ensure all necessary accounts are set up and their respective credentials are ready for n8n. X (Twitter) API: You'll need an X (Twitter) developer account to create an application and obtain your Consumer Key/Secret and Access Token/Secret. Use these to set up your Twitter credential in n8n. Slack API: Set up your Slack credential in n8n. You'll also need the Channel ID of the Slack channel where you want your security alerts to be posted (e.g., security-alerts or it-ops). Import the Workflow JSON Get the workflow structure into your n8n instance. Import: In your n8n instance, go to the "Workflows" section. Click the "New" or "+" icon, then select "Import from JSON." Paste the provided JSON code (from the previous response) into the import dialog and import the workflow. Configure the Nodes Customize the imported workflow to fit your specific monitoring needs. Monitor: Cybersecurity Keywords (X/Twitter): Click on this node. Select your newly created Twitter Credential. CRITICAL: Modify the "Query" parameter to include your specific brand names, relevant CVEs, or general cybersecurity terms. For example: "YourCompany" OR "CVE-2024-1234" OR "phishing alert". Use OR to combine multiple terms. Send Notification (Slack): Click on this node. Select your Slack Credential. Replace "YOURSLACKCHANNEL_ID" with the actual Channel ID you noted earlier for your security alerts. (Optional: You can adjust the "Valid Mention?" node's condition if you find specific patterns of false positives in your search results that you want to filter out.)* Test and Activate Verify that your workflow is working correctly before setting it live. Manual Test: Click the "Test Workflow" button (usually in the top right corner of the n8n editor). This will execute the workflow once. Verify Output: Check your specified Slack channel to confirm that any detected mentions are sent as notifications in the correct format. If no matching tweets are found, you won't see a notification, which is expected. Activate: Once you're satisfied with the test results, toggle the "Active" switch (usually in the top right corner of the n8n editor) to ON. Your workflow will then automatically monitor X (Twitter) at the specified polling interval. ---
