Why Connect Linear to Todoist?

Todoist adds complexity: limited reporting means managers cannot track team velocity, completion rates, or project progress without manual analysis

Linear uses a GraphQL API while Todoist uses REST + Webhook, requiring careful middleware to translate data formats between the two platforms

Linear limitations compound the integration challenge: smaller integration ecosystem than Jira, with many third-party tools not offering native Linear connections

No single source of truth when tasks live in two disconnected tools, so staff second-guess which system has the correct information

Reporting across Linear and Todoist requires painful manual exports and spreadsheet merges

Task updates in Linear are invisible to the team using Todoist, leading to duplicated effort and missed deadlines

Manually copying data between Linear and Todoist wastes hours every week that could be spent on revenue-generating work

How We Help

Every week without this integration costs your Professional Services and Manufacturing business 8+ hours/week in manual data handling between Linear and Todoist. Our Harvard-educated consultants build a sync that eliminates that waste permanently. On the technical side, Linear uses a GraphQL API with OAuth authentication, and Todoist authenticates via Bearer, which our team handles as part of the build.

Amplify Linear Strengths

Linear excels because exceptionally fast interface with sub-100ms interactions makes issue management feel instant, a significant productivity gain over Jira's heavier UI. Connecting it to Todoist ensures that advantage flows through your entire workflow rather than staying siloed in one tool.

Custom-Built for Your Workflow

Unlike generic connectors, we build integrations tailored to how your business actually uses Linear and Todoist. Custom field mappings, business rules, and error handling included.

Eliminate Duplicate Work Between Teams

Task updates in Linear are reflected in Todoist immediately. Teams using different tools stay aligned on priorities, deadlines, and assignments without manual status chasing.

Scalable Without Extra Headcount

As your data volume grows, the integration scales with you. No need to hire additional admin staff to keep Linear and Todoist in sync, even as your business doubles.

Linear to Todoist Use Cases

Mirror issues between Linear and Todoist

When a issue is created, reassigned, or completed in Linear, the linked task in Todoist updates immediately. Teams working in different tools always see the same status, assignees, and due dates.

Automated error handling and retry for Linear/Todoist sync

When a sync between Linear and Todoist fails due to a rate limit, network issue, or validation error, the integration retries automatically with exponential backoff. Your team is alerted only when intervention is genuinely needed.
