How to connect Google tasks and Google Drive
Create a New Scenario to Connect Google tasks and Google Drive
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 Drive will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Google tasks or Google Drive, 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.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google tasks, Google Drive, 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 Drive integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google tasks and Google Drive (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 Drive
Google Tasks + Google Drive + Slack: When a task is completed in Google Tasks, the automation uploads a specified document to Google Drive and then sends a message to a Slack channel notifying the team about the completed task and providing a link to the document.
Google Drive + Google Tasks + Google Calendar: When a new file is added to Google Drive, the automation creates a new task in Google Tasks to review the file and schedules a reminder event in Google Calendar to ensure the task is completed.
