Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google tasks, Gmail, 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 Gmail integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google tasks and Gmail (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 Gmail
Google Tasks + Gmail + Slack: When a new task is created in Google Tasks, the automation retrieves details of the task and sends a summary to a designated Slack channel via a public channel message.
Gmail + Google Tasks + Google Calendar: When a new email arrives in Gmail, a task is created in Google Tasks to address the email. Then, a Google Calendar event is created to schedule time for completing the task.
