Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Google contacts and Google tasks integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google contacts 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 contacts and Google tasks
