Frequently Asked Questions about Google Tasks + Things integrations

New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Google Tasks and Things

How do I start integrating Google Tasks with Things?

To begin integrating Google Tasks with Things, you'll need to use our platform as a connector. Set up a 'Zap' where Google Tasks serves as the trigger and Things as the action. Ensure both apps are connected through your account settings.

Can I customize the triggers for Google Tasks in the integration?

Yes, you can customize triggers for Google Tasks when setting up your integration. For instance, you may choose specific criteria like 'New Task Created' or 'Task Completed' within your trigger setup process.

What types of actions can be performed in Things from Google Tasks?

In Things, you can perform various actions such as creating new tasks or updating existing ones based on changes or events happening in Google Tasks. These actions are customizable during your Zap configuration.

Is it possible to sync task deadlines between Google Tasks and Things?

While setting up your integration, you have the option to map attributes like task deadlines from Google Tasks to corresponding fields in Things, ensuring that all important dates stay aligned across applications.

Can I create a task in Things when a task is deleted in Google Tasks?

Currently, our platform does not support creating tasks in Things based on deletions in Google Tasks directly. Triggers are typically based on creation or completion events rather than deletions.

How do we handle completed tasks between these two apps?

For handling completed tasks, set up a trigger when a task is marked as complete in Google Tasks and an action that updates or marks the corresponding task as complete in Things. This ensures both apps reflect the same progress status.

Do we support bi-directional syncing between Google Tasks and Things?

While our integrations primarily focus on one-way triggers and actions for specific workflows, bi-directional syncing requires setting up reciprocal Zaps so changes reflect across both applications seamlessly.

Practical ways you can use Google Tasks and Things

Sync completed tasks between Things and Google Tasks

When a task is marked as completed in Google Tasks, Zapier automatically creates a matching completed to-do in Things. This synchronization ensures consistency between your task lists across platforms, simplifying task tracking and avoiding duplication.

Business Owner
Create engineering to-dos from Google Tasks

When a new task is added in Google Tasks, Zapier adds a corresponding to-do in Things. This ensures engineers keep their task lists up-to-date across tools, staying focused on high-impact work without manual entry.

Engineering
Sync tickets between Things and Google Tasks

Streamline ticket management by syncing task completion. When a task is marked as completed in Things, Zapier automatically reflects this milestone in Google Tasks, ensuring accurate cross-system updates. This reduces manual updates and maintains accurate task records.

IT

Supported triggers and actions

Zapier helps you create workflows that connect your apps to automate repetitive tasks. A trigger is an event that starts a workflow, and an action is an event a Zap performs.
