## Describe the problem/error/question

Hi everyone! I’m new to this community, so thank you in advanced for sharing your input. 🙂

I’m trying to create an n8n workflow that automates my tracking/recording of:

- todoist task created
- todoist task completed

then logs these as new rows in a Google Sheet every time an event is triggered. (similar to the IFTTT application of Sheets + Todoist).

I’ve set it up using the /sync webhook on Todoist, but it seems that my webhook is never triggering even if I create or complete a new event on todoist. Am I missing something in my setup? Would appreciate any advice. Thank you!

## What is the error message (if any)?

No error message, the webhook doesn’t trigger so the flow isn’t able to start even if new events should hypothetically trigger the flow.

## Please share your workflow

```auto
(Select the nodes on your canvas and use the keyboard shortcuts CMD+C/CTRL+C and CMD+V/CTRL+V to copy and paste the workflow.)
