Automate Todoist + Discord with GAIA
Share task progress in Discord and create Todoist tasks from Discord messages
Discord has evolved far beyond gaming into a platform where dev communities, open-source projects, and distributed teams coordinate daily. Action items, decisions, and commitments regularly surface in Discord conversations, but they're ephemeral — buried by the next message within minutes. Todoist is where those action items need to land, but manually copying from Discord to Todoist is friction that rarely happens consistently.
GAIA connects the two so that capturing a Discord message as a Todoist task takes a single command or reaction. Whether you're in a project planning channel, a support server, or a team voice chat follow-up thread, GAIA can extract the relevant content, create a structured Todoist task, and confirm the capture without disrupting the conversation. Completed tasks can be posted back to the Discord channel as a brief update so community members or teammates know what's been resolved.
This integration is especially useful for open-source maintainers tracking community issues from Discord, community managers juggling action items across multiple servers, and remote teams who use Discord as their primary communication platform.
5 things you can automate
Everything GAIA can do when Todoist and Discord are connected.
Capture Discord messages as Todoist tasks
React to any Discord message or use a slash command to tell GAIA to capture it as a Todoist task. GAIA saves the message content, author, channel, and a link so you always know the origin of the task.
Post task completion updates to Discord channels
When you complete a Todoist task that originated from a Discord message, GAIA can post a brief update to the original channel or thread so community members or teammates are automatically informed.
Daily task digest posted to Discord
GAIA posts a morning summary of your Todoist tasks due today to a private Discord channel or DM, giving you a structured start-of-day overview in the tool you're already monitoring.
Community issue tracking
For open-source maintainers, GAIA monitors designated Discord support channels for common issue patterns and creates Todoist tasks for recurring problems, helping you prioritize community-reported issues for your development backlog.
Standup action items from Discord voice or text
After a team standup in Discord, paste the summary or let GAIA listen to the follow-up text channel and automatically generate Todoist tasks for each action item called out, assigning due dates based on the discussion.

GAIA bridges Discord conversations and Todoist tasks
GAIA listens in the channels you've authorized, creates tasks on demand, and posts completion updates automatically. You can also query GAIA from Discord to check on task status or add sub-tasks.
