How to connect Captions and Google tasks
Create a New Scenario to Connect Captions and Google tasks
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Captions, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Captions or Google tasks will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Captions or Google tasks, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Captions Node
Select the Captions node from the app selection panel on the right.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Captions, Google tasks, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Captions and Google tasks integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Captions and Google tasks (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Captions and Google tasks
Captions + Slack + Google tasks: When a new video is generated in Captions, its captions are shared to a specified Slack channel. A task is also created in Google Tasks to review these captions.
Google tasks + Captions + Google Sheets: When a task is completed in Google Tasks, indicating that the captions have been reviewed, the completion status and task details are recorded in a Google Sheet for tracking.
