Create Todoist tasks from new items in Notion databases (API integration)
Instantly connect Notion and Todoist with pre‑built templates using Postman Flows.
Overview
Automatically generate Todoist tasks from new items added to a Notion database. This template is built for developers building business applications that connect Notion-based planning with task execution in Todoist—offering full API control over how task data is captured, mapped, and created across platforms.
How does the Notion + Todoist integration work?
This template uses Postman Flows to:
Watch a Notion database for new entries
Extract task-related fields like title, due date, and labels
Format and map this data to Todoist’s API structure
Create new tasks in a specific Todoist project or section
How to use the template
Set up authentication:
Notion: Connect to your workspace and locate your database ID
Todoist: Add your API token to Postman Flows
Store API credentials securely using environment variables
Configure the flow:
Map Notion fields to Todoist task inputs
Define the default project or label settings
Test using sample Notion data
Run the flow manually or schedule it to check for updates at regular intervals
Get started in seconds
Fork this template to build an automated task management workflow between Notion and Todoist using Postman Flows. Extend it with filters, conditions, or additional services to fit your internal tooling needs or broader business applications—all with developer-grade control and visibility.
Frequently asked questions
What is Postman Flows?
Postman Flows is a visual tool for building API workflows. You can connect APIs, services, and data in a drag-and-drop interface—without writing code. It’s built for developers and technical teams who want flexibility and control over how APIs interact.
How is this different from Zapier?
Zapier is great for automating popular SaaS tools. Postman Flows is API-first—it gives you complete control over request structure, data transformations, and logic. You can use it to orchestrate internal APIs, chain service calls, and go beyond the limitations of most no-code tools.
Can I use Flows with internal APIs or microservices?
Yes. Because Flows are built on top of Postman’s core platform, you can connect to internal APIs, services behind a firewall, or staging environments—just like you would with any Postman request. It’s ideal for platform teams and service orchestration.
Do I need to know how to code to use Flows?
No coding required—but if you’re comfortable with APIs and how requests are structured, you’ll feel right at home. Flows lets you visually define logic, pass data between steps, and build useful workflows without writing scripts.
Can I run this Flow automatically?
You can trigger Flows manually or on a schedule using Postman Monitors. Programmatic triggers like webhooks or Postman’s public API aren’t supported yet, but they’re on the roadmap.
How do I test a Flow before using it in production?
You can run Flows interactively in your browser. Use test environments to simulate different conditions, inspect step-by-step output, and refine your logic before going live.
