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

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google tasks, Discourse, 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 tasks and Discourse integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google tasks and Discourse (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Google tasks and Discourse
Google Tasks + Discourse + Slack: When a Google Task is completed, a post is created on Discourse to update the community. A notification is then sent to a Slack channel to alert relevant team members.
Discourse + Google Tasks + Google Calendar: When a new topic is created on Discourse, a Google Task is created with a deadline. An event is then added to Google Calendar to remind users of the task deadline.
