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

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

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google Groups, 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 Groups and Google tasks integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Groups 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 Groups and Google tasks
Google Groups + Google Tasks + Google Calendar: When a new post is created in a Google Group, a new task is created in Google Tasks. Subsequently, an event is created in Google Calendar to address the post.
Google Tasks + Google Groups + Slack: When a task is completed in Google Tasks, the Google Group is updated. A message is then sent to a Slack channel to notify team members about the completed task.
