How to connect Google tasks and Google docs
Create a New Scenario to Connect Google tasks and Google docs
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 Google docs will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Google tasks or Google docs, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

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

- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that don’t require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google tasks, Google docs, 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 docs integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google tasks and Google docs (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 docs
Google Tasks + Google Docs + Google Calendar: When a new task is created in Google Tasks, this flow appends the task description to a Google Docs document and creates an event in Google Calendar to schedule time for its completion.
Google Docs + Google Tasks + Slack: When a Google Doc is updated, a new task is created in Google Tasks, and a notification is sent to a specified Slack channel.
