Hi there. I’m new to Zapier. I’m using the free version of TeamGantt.

I’m trying to create a rule for when I put a task in a Google Task list called ‘Work’ that it copies the task (the name, due date) into a task under a =‘General Task’ sub-group I have in TeamGantt.

I have played a round a little with a custom workflow, but the rules are asking me for ‘task name’ which shows up under the general task subgroup as ‘task name’ not the name of the task. It’s also asking me for a due date which will be different.

I have also played around with pre-set workflows such as ‘Create tasks in TeamGantt from new tasks in Google Tasks’, and ‘Update Google Task lists with new TeamGantt tasks’ but no luck. 

Thanks!

Hey there ​@cmeak 👋

Did the guide Troy shared a link to help point you in the right direction? 

I see you also reached out to our Support team who had some suggestions but received no reply so I’m not sure if those did the trick. I’ll share them here in case it’s helpful to you or anyone coming across this:

I've taken a look at one of the errored Zap runs, and here are a few things we might need to check or adjust to get your Zap working smoothly:

1. Invalid or expired project ID: It seems like the project_id you're using, 43XXXX2, might not exist or could be inaccessible with your current credentials. Please double-check the project ID and ensure you have the necessary permissions.

2. Start/end date formatting or logic: While the format you're using is technically ISO 8601, the start_date you provided, 2012-08-24T06:05:53.000Z, is quite old. There might be API validation rules that restrict how far back in time tasks can be created. Consider using a more recent date.

3. Invalid color value: The color code "blue2" might not be supported by TeamGantt. Try omitting it or using a known valid value.

4. Suspicious sort value: The value 21XXXXXX47 is the maximum for a 32-bit integer and could be rejected as too large. You might want to try a smaller value.

5. Required fields missing: Although you have set "type": "task", there might be other required fields depending on your project setup, such as assigning a user or group. Please review your project requirements to ensure all necessary fields are included.


Let us know how it’s going, want to make sure this gets solved!
