Automate Linear + Todoist with GAIA
Turn Linear issues assigned to you into personal Todoist tasks automatically
Most engineers manage their work in at least two places: the team issue tracker and their personal task manager. Linear drives the sprint; Todoist (or a notebook, or a whiteboard) drives the individual. Keeping both aligned manually is friction that adds up — copying issue titles, tracking due dates in two places, remembering to mark things done in both systems.
GAIA eliminates that duplication by watching Linear for assignments and automatically creating corresponding tasks in your Todoist. When an issue is assigned to you in Linear, it appears in Todoist with the right project, priority, and due date. When you complete it in either tool, GAIA marks it done in the other. Your personal task list reflects your real engineering workload without any manual copying.
This integration is ideal for engineers who use Todoist as their single place for all tasks — personal errands, recurring work, and engineering tickets — and want Linear to feed into that system automatically rather than competing with it.
5 things you can automate
Everything GAIA can do when Linear and Todoist are connected.
Auto-create Todoist tasks from Linear assignments
Every time a Linear issue is assigned to you, GAIA creates a matching Todoist task with the issue title, Linear URL, priority, and target date so your personal task list is always current without any manual entry.
Sync task completion back to Linear
When you check off a task in Todoist, GAIA marks the linked Linear issue as completed so your team's board stays accurate even if you prefer to track your own work in Todoist.
Organize Linear issues by project in Todoist
GAIA maps Linear teams and projects to Todoist projects so engineering work lands in the right section of your task list and doesn't get mixed up with unrelated personal tasks.
Morning digest of today's Linear priorities
Each morning GAIA checks your Linear queue for high-priority issues due today or overdue and adds a Todoist task reminding you to review and action them before daily standup.
Flag overdue Linear issues in Todoist
When a Linear issue's due date passes without resolution, GAIA creates an urgent Todoist task flagging the overdue issue so it surfaces in your personal productivity system and doesn't get buried on the team board.
How to set it up
Connect Linear and Todoist to GAIA in three steps.
- 1
Connect Linear and Todoist to GAIA
Authorize GAIA with your Linear account and your Todoist account. GAIA identifies which Linear user you are and maps your assignments to your Todoist inbox.
- 2
Configure project mapping and sync preferences
Choose which Linear teams or projects should feed into Todoist, which Todoist project each should map to, and whether completions should sync bidirectionally.
- 3
Work across both tools seamlessly
GAIA monitors your Linear assignments and keeps your Todoist updated automatically. You can triage your day in Todoist while teammates see accurate status in Linear.
