Practical ways you can use Google Drive and Google Tasks
Track new Google Drive files as tasks.
When a new file is uploaded to a designated Google Drive folder, Zapier can automatically create a new task in Google Tasks. This helps business owners manage their time and priorities by ensuring important files are flagged for review or follow-up. Automating this process reduces oversight and ensures important documents get the attention they need to keep workflows on schedule.
Business Owner
Log completed tasks to Google Drive.
When a task is marked as completed in Google Tasks, Zapier can log the details into a specified file in Google Drive. This automation maintains a clear record of completed tasks, ensuring IT teams can track progress or revisit completed tasks if necessary. This reduces manual documentation effort while making sure tracking remains organized.
ITProject file creation triggers task generation.
When a new folder is created in Google Drive for a project, Zapier can automatically generate a corresponding task list in Google Tasks. This ensures project managers stay organized, aligning task tracking with deliverable creation. It reduces the risk of misalignment and saves time on initial project setup.

Frequently Asked Questions about Google Drive + Google Tasks integrations
New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Google Drive and Google Tasks
How can I integrate Google Drive with Google Tasks?
You can integrate Google Drive with Google Tasks using our platform by setting up an automated workflow. You'll need to select a trigger from Google Drive, like 'New File' or 'File Updated,' and an action in Google Tasks, such as 'Create Task.' Once triggered, the action will automatically follow.
What triggers are available for Google Drive when integrating with Google Tasks?
For Google Drive, you can use triggers like 'New File,' 'New Folder,' or 'File Updated.' Once these events are detected in your specified Drive account, they can initiate an action in your Google Tasks account through our automation services.
Can updates in Google Tasks reflect back on files in Google Drive?
Currently, we do not support actions that modify files in Google Drive based on changes in Google Tasks. The integration primarily captures events from Drive and performs corresponding tasks.
What actions can be performed in Google Tasks when triggered by a change in Google Drive?
You can perform actions such as 'Create Task' and 'Complete Task' in your Google Tasks account. These actions are triggered by specified activities like adding new files or updating existing ones in your connected Google Drive account.
Do I need coding skills to set up the integration between Google Drive and Google Tasks?
No coding skills are necessary. Our platform offers a user-friendly interface where you can simply select the required triggers and actions from available lists to set up your integration without any programming knowledge.
Is it possible to set up multiple trigger-action pairs between my accounts?
Yes, you can create multiple integrations specifying different trigger-action pairs to handle various workflow scenarios. This allows flexibility and enhanced automation features tailored to your specific needs.
Can I customize the conditions under which the tasks are created or modified?
Yes, you can define custom filters and conditions while setting up triggers so that tasks are created only under particular circumstances. This helps ensure that only relevant changes trigger task creation or updates.
