How to connect Google tasks and Xero
Create a New Scenario to Connect Google tasks and Xero
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 Xero will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Google tasks or Xero, 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, Xero, 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 Xero integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google tasks and Xero (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
