Hey there, friends! I wanted to share some of what was discovered in the support ticket for anyone who may be following along!
As @spm1001 discovered, the “New Task” trigger doesn’t trigger on new tasks added from Google Docs. It looks like this feedback has been shared with our team before though and there is an active feature request out! OP has been added to the list of interested users and we’ll email if and when that gets implemented. 
We’ll also be sure to keep this thread updated as well. Thanks so much for flagging this in community!
@ken.a Is there an ETA for fixing this? We want to sync to Todoist, and it doesn’t work either.
Hi @a5huto5h,
I have added you to the list of interested members. We will keep you in the loop via email once the feature has been implemented.
Thanks!
I ran into this same issue and used the email that google sends you when you’re assigned a task as a workaround! It’s a bit cumbersome and requires some paid Zapier features (Formatter, looping if you have multiple tasks per email) but it can be done. I took the easy way and used ChatGPT to parse the notification email (may require paying for OpenAI API) but you could parse the information using Zapier formatters as well. Here’s the template: https://zapier.com/shared/0a33990db862060bb26fc31191c2254783af9a67
Yes, please let me know when this has been fixed.
Hi @Laura from SI
I’ve added your vote for this feature request, and we’ll notify you via email once available. Thanks!
Please notify me when this is fixed -- thank you!!
If this is difficult to do exactly as requested, a workaround could be to add the event “Updated task” or “Task moved to a list” to the Google Task trigger. Then we could move or star tasks to tripper the zap. When we have to copy and paste a task to trigger it, as in Laura from SI’s workaround, we lose the link to the doc where the task was created.
I’d like this feature Google Dock Created Task Integration (to Google Tables) Zapier does not see this new task. Please up vote this feature request.
Hi @drewzer! 
Happy to confirm that you’ve been added as well. We’ll be in touch if/when it gets sorted. Thanks for your patience in the meantime!
@christina.d : It’s been one year since this was discussed. Any movement on fixing this?
Hey, please add me to the list as well. :)
Sure thing, @shereeyoung! I’ve added your vote now, so you’ll get an email notification from us when/if it’s added. 
Hello @SamB . I’ve done some quick research on this topic and found out where the problem is and how it should be fixed. Google Task API ( /tasks/v1/lists/), used to fetch tasks, supports a parameter called “showAssigned” that filters the tasks assigned with a default value of “False” which means assigned tasks won’t be fetched.
Tasks created from Google Docs are assigned by default, so the current GTask Zap implementation does not list them.
Fixing the issue is incredible as simple as follows:
- Adding the header “showAssigned=true” to the HTTP request
I’ve performed some tests in the Google OAuth playground, and the results are satisfactory. Below is the original post from the official Google Task issue tracker I have based on.
Implementing this solution should be very straightforward. Please let me know if there is any way I can help.

Happy to help, @SamB . I hope they’ll be able to add this change to their surely long backlog and have this issue fixed.
Any update on this? I’m still trying to make this work!
Subject: Issue with Google Tasks Integration – Tasks from Google Docs Not Syncing
Dear Zapier Support Team,
I’m experiencing an issue with the Google Tasks integration, where tasks created or edited within Google Docs (via the task checkmark feature) are not being detected by Zapier. Tasks created through Gmail or the Google Tasks app are syncing perfectly, but the ones from Google Docs seem to be missed.
I’ve ensured that all permissions and settings are enabled on both Google and Zapier's side, but the issue persists. Could this be a gap in the API, or is there a specific limitation with how tasks from Google Docs are handled in the Zapier integration?
Any guidance or update would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your support!
You got it @treana! I’ve added your vote to that feature request so you’ll receive an email notification from us once it’s been rolled out.
Please add my vote to have this implemented. I create project plans and action items from client updates in Google Docs so this would be very helpful.
I’ve just checked on the feature request @Liz123456 and there’s no updates at present. Sorry to not have better news at this time. I can’t give any estimate as to when it might be implemented by but I’ve added your vote to it which will help to bump up it’s priority.
Hi there, @wkoszek 
We can’t provide any sort of ETA on when you might expect this to be implemented by. But I’ve added you to the list of folks being interested in this which will help to increase it’s priority. You’ll get an email notification from us once it’s added. And I’ll be sure to follow up here with any updates we have on the status of this feature request.
There’s no reported workarounds but if you’re able to have Google Tasks send an email notification with details of new tasks that are added then, perhaps you could use an email parsing app like Email Parser by Zapier. In your email account you’d set up those email notifications to be automatically forwarded to an email parser mailbox. Then you could have a Zap trigger from those emails instead. You can find out more about how to use Email Parser here: Trigger Zaps from new parsed emails
Hope that helps! 
Can I vote for this feature request as well? Seems like there isn’t any tool out there that is triggered from a Google Docs task add, currently :(
Thanks for sharing you workaround, @Laura from SI! 
Please add my vote to have this implemented. I use ToDoist and need all my Google tasks to import automatically. Thanks!
Hey there! Asking for an update and/or to add my vote for this feature. It really does render the Zap kinda useless if you can’t rely on it to accurately reflect all the tasks that show up on your Google Tasks lists, regardless of how they got there. Any update on this would be very much appreciated! Thx.
