Set the Google Tasks trigger as “New task added”

Once you have finished creating your playbook, the next step would be to begin with the first action. A playbook always starts with a trigger, which is responsible for detecting changes in your connected applications and responding accordingly.

Add the Google Tasks trigger to initiate your playbook's actions every time a new task is added. Click "Add trigger" in your playbook and choose "New task added" from the dropdown menu under Google Tasks. This will allow your playbook to automatically identify newly added tasks and trigger necessary actions.

If you still need to connect your Google Tasks account to Relay.app yet, a prompt will guide you through the process.

Add the "Get row" and "Update row" step in Google Sheets

Integrate the Google Sheets automation into your playbook to ensure the prompt update of Google Sheets rows every time a new task is added in Google Tasks.

Click the "Add step" button, then locate the "Get row" and "Update row" automation for Google Sheets and input the mandatory and relevant details.

If your Google Sheets account isn't already connected to Relay.app, you will be prompted to complete that connection. Make sure to allow the necessary permissions for Relay.app to sync with your Google Sheets account.

Activate your playbook

Activating your playbook is the last step in the process. Once you turn it on, it will automatically update Google Sheets rows every time a new task is added to Google Tasks without requiring manual intervention.

To activate your playbook, click the toggle button at the header. Before activating, we recommend performing a test run of your playbook to ensure all the steps work seamlessly together.
