Sync new Google Calendar events to create OmniFocus tasks

This template watches Google Calendar for a new event and creates an OmniFocus task from the title and description.

JavaScript sends the text to OmniFocus with your OmniFocus API token or Mail Drop address in that node. Connect Google Calendar, pick the calendar, and put OmniFocus access in the JavaScript node.

How Latenode estimates time and cost

Latenode bills workflow runtime in CPU seconds. The first 10,000 CPU seconds are free each month, then usage follows pay-as-you-go CPU-second pricing. Plug-and-Play (PnP) AI nodes are billed separately—each PnP token is $1 USD, charged pay-as-you-go at vendor cost plus a small processing fee, with no API keys required.

What this template does

  • Turns new Google Calendar events into OmniFocus tasks
  • Starts when an event is created or changed
  • Creates each task through JavaScript
  • Keeps the OmniFocus token or Mail Drop address in the JavaScript node

How it works

1
Trigger

Watch Google Calendar

The scenario starts when an event is created or changed on the Google Calendar you connect.

2
Action

Create the OmniFocus task

JavaScript creates the task using the API token or Mail Drop address stored in that node. Set the name from the event title and put the description plus the event link in the note.

Setup guide

1

Connect Google Calendar

Add a Google Calendar connection with access to the calendar you want to watch. Add a trigger for new or changed events. Narrow to one calendar if you only want some events.

2

Store OmniFocus access

Add a JavaScript node and put your OmniFocus API token or Mail Drop address there.

3

Map event to task

In JavaScript, set the task name from the event title. Put the description and event link in the note. Skip all-day placeholders or cancelled events in the same node if they should not become tasks.

Requirements

A Google Calendar Latenode can read via a Google Calendar connection
An OmniFocus API token or Mail Drop address stored in the JavaScript node
A rule for which events become tasks, such as one calendar or a title prefix
