Automation Idea: Granola to Todoist

Originally published

Ever end a meeting and think… “Wait, what was I supposed to do again?”

Here’s how I solved that — without ever copy/pasting a thing.

I use an automation that connects Granola, ChatGPT, and Todoist. And it’s become one of my favorite workflows.

Granola is a transcription app that runs locally on your Mac — super easy to use, and no need to give it access to your calendar. When I finish a meeting, the transcript goes into a folder.

That’s when the real magic starts.

Once the transcript hits the folder, it automatically gets sent to ChatGPT. ChatGPT pulls out all the tasks and action items, formats them as a comma-separated list, and sends each task individually to Todoist.

So by the time the meeting’s over, all my to-dos are already waiting for me in my task manager.

I use this for discovery calls where I need to draft a proposal or send a follow-up.

And for coaching calls where I need to review client homework or prep for the next session.

It’s a seamless workflow that saves me time and mental overhead — and yeah, it just works.
