How to connect Google Chat and Google tasks
Create a New Scenario to Connect Google Chat 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 Google Chat, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Google Chat or Google tasks will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Google Chat or Google tasks, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

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

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google Chat, 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 Google Chat and Google tasks integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Chat 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 Google Chat and Google tasks
Google Chat + Google Tasks + Google Calendar: When a new message is posted in Google Chat, a task is created in Google Tasks. This task's due date is then used to create an event in Google Calendar.
Google Tasks + Google Chat + Jira: When a Google Task is completed, a message is posted in Google Chat. The linked Jira issue is then updated to reflect the task's completion.
