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).

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google tasks, Google contacts, 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 Google contacts integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google tasks and Google contacts (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 Google contacts
Google Tasks + Google Contacts + Google Calendar: When a new task is created in Google Tasks, the automation retrieves the contact details associated with the task (if any). It then creates a Google Calendar event with the task's due date and contact information, ensuring deadlines are scheduled and linked to relevant contacts.
Google Contacts + Google Tasks + Slack: When a new contact is added to Google Contacts, the automation creates a follow-up task in Google Tasks to ensure timely engagement. After the task is created it sends a message to a designated Slack channel to notify the team about the new contact and the created task.
