Google Drive New Task Assignment to Create To Do In Things


Hi All, 

I am pretty new to zapier. I would like to integrate google drive assignments with my todo list app - I use Things from Cultured Code. I want to create a new todo with a link to the doc/sheet/slides file in which I am assigned a task when it is assigned via google. I can find all of my tasks in google drive with this search: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/search?q=followup:actionitems, but I want to keep one inbox in Things. I haven’t seen how to do this or discussions of this kind of integration so curious if I am just searching the wrong thing or this isn’t a common use case for some reason. Either way, I’d love to learn.

Thanks!

Hey @zap, I hope you’re well, I just wanted to check in here!

Were you able to get things working with the info from GetUWired or can we still help out?

If you're just getting started with Zapier and want a quick intro to how it works as well, check out this helpful article: https://zapier.com/help/create/basics/create-zaps

I believe the information they shared along with the info above should get you on the right path. :)

Hi @zap 

It sounds like you are hoping to trigger when a new task is assigned in Google Tasks which can be done.  https://zapier.com/apps/google-tasks/integrations

And the end result would be to create a to-do in Things which can also be done https://zapier.com/apps/things/integrations 

 

You may need to include a search step in between the above if you need to locate a specific file in Google Drive before creating a To Do in Things
