AI Agent to Todoist Workflow Data Flow (Stuck)

Questions
1

I’m stuck trying to set up a sub-workflow that receives data from an AI agent to create Todoist tasks.

Setup:

  • Main workflow: AI agent with simple prompt “Please create a todoist task saying to do X”
  • Sub-workflow: Workflow Input Trigger + Todoist Create Task node
  • Using “Call n8n workflow” tool to connect them

Problem:

  • Can’t figure out how to access the incoming data in the sub-workflow
  • Not sure what data structure comes from the AI agent
  • Tried {{ $json.input }} but getting errors
  • Not even sure if Workflow Input Trigger is the right choice

What’s the correct way to set this up? How do I reference the incoming data in the Todoist node? I am losing my mind with this…

n8n version: 1.74.0 (Self-Hosted)
