How to automatically create a new task in Todoist for each newly added spreadsheet in Google Sheets

Relay.app is an automation tool that lets you automate actions across Google Sheets, Todoist, and many other apps. In this guide, we'll show you how to use Relay.app to automatically run the Todoist “Create task” action for each Google Sheets “Spreadsheet added to folder” event.

1

Set the Google Sheets trigger as "Spreadsheet added to folder"

Every playbook starts with a trigger. The trigger detects changes in your connected apps and runs your playbook in response.

To set up this playbook, click "Add trigger" and then select "Spreadsheet added to folder" under Google Sheets. This will allow your playbook to automatically detect each newly added spreadsheet in the folder on Google Sheets and initiate necessary actions.

If this is your first time using a Google Sheets integration in Relay.app, a prompt will guide you through the connection process.

2

Add the "Create task" in Todoist automation

Integrate the Todoist automation into your playbook to ensure the prompt creation of a new task in Todoist when a new spreadsheet has been added to the Google Sheets.

Click the "Add step" button, then locate the "Create task" automation for Todoist and input the mandatory and relevant details.

If your Todoist account isn't already connected to Relay.app, you will be prompted to complete that connection. Make sure to allow the necessary permissions for Relay.app to sync with your Todoist account.

3

Activate your Relay.app playbook

Activating your playbook is the final step to automate the creation of a new task in Todoist. Once turned on, it will respond to each newly added spreadsheet in Google Sheets by creating a new task in Todoist without manual intervention.

To enable your playbook, click the toggle button located in the header. It is advisable to perform a test run of your playbook beforehand to ensure all steps work seamlessly together and reminders are being sent correctly.
