Automate Google Calendar + Todoist with GAIA
Turn calendar events into tasks and prep todos automatically
Your calendar tells you when things happen. Your Todoist list tells you what to do. But the two rarely inform each other — meetings happen without prep tasks, Todoist deadlines exist without corresponding calendar blocks, and the result is a fragmented picture of your day. GAIA connects your calendar and Todoist so both reflect the same reality.
5 things you can automate
Everything GAIA can do when Google Calendar and Todoist are connected.
Auto-create meeting prep tasks
For every calendar event with external attendees, GAIA creates a Todoist task to review the agenda and prepare talking points, due the morning before the meeting.
Deadline tasks from calendar events
When a calendar event represents a deadline (project due dates, presentation dates), GAIA creates Todoist tasks working backwards from the deadline with intermediate milestones.
Post-meeting follow-up tasks
After meetings end, GAIA creates a Todoist task to capture and send meeting notes, due within an hour of the meeting conclusion so follow-through happens promptly.
Time block creation in calendar for Todoist tasks
When a Todoist task has a due date, GAIA can suggest or automatically create a Google Calendar time block for working on that task, ensuring you have scheduled time to complete it.
Overloaded day warnings
When GAIA sees a heavy meeting day in Calendar with many Todoist tasks also due that day, it alerts you in advance so you can reschedule tasks or meetings proactively.
