Google Tasks

In one line: Connect Google Tasks so your UnleashX agent can create task lists, add and update tasks, find what’s due, and keep your to-dos organized — all in plain language.

​
1. Overview

Google Tasks is Google’s lightweight to-do list, built into Gmail, Google Calendar, and Workspace. It organizes your work into task lists, each holding individual tasks with due dates, notes, and completion status. Once connected to UnleashX, your agent can create new task lists, add tasks, update details like due dates and notes, mark tasks complete, find a specific task, and clear out ones you no longer need. It works against your live Google Tasks using your own Google sign-in, so it respects your account and access. Connecting Google Tasks to UnleashX means your to-do list keeps up with the conversation. Instead of switching to Tasks to jot something down or check what’s due, you tell your agent and it captures, updates, or looks up the item for you.

​
2. What you’ll need

  • A Google account (personal or Google Workspace) with Google Tasks enabled.
  • Access to Gmail, Google Calendar, or the Tasks app so you can see your lists.
  • An UnleashX account with access to Data Connectors.
No API key to paste. Google Tasks uses OAuth — you click Authorize and sign in with Google.
If you’re on Google Workspace, your admin can restrict which third-party apps may connect. If authorization is blocked, ask your Workspace admin to allow UnleashX.

​
3. Get your credentials

There’s no key to copy. Authentication runs through Google’s secure OAuth sign-in.
1

Start the connection in UnleashX

Connecting Google Tasks (Section 4) opens a Google Sign in window.
2

Sign in with Google

Choose the Google account whose tasks you want the agent to manage, and sign in at https://accounts.google.com. Complete two-factor authentication if prompted.
3

Review and accept the scopes

Google shows the access UnleashX is requesting (see the scopes table). Review it and click Allow.
4

Confirm the account

If you’re signed in to more than one Google account, make sure you picked the one that holds the task lists you want to work with.
5

Return to UnleashX

Google redirects you back automatically and the connector links to your account. Behind the scenes UnleashX uses Google’s OAuth token — you never handle it yourself.
Permissions (Google OAuth scopes) UnleashX requests:
Google OAuth scopes are granular. UnleashX requests only what these tools need, and Google — not UnleashX — enforces the limits.

​
4. Connect on UnleashX

1

Open your agent

Go to https://www.tryunleashx.com and open the agent you want to connect.
2

Open Data Connectors

Inside the agent, go to Data Connectors.
3

Locate Google Tasks and click Connect (or Add / Configure).
4

Authorize with Google

Click Authorize, sign in with Google, and accept the scopes.
5

Confirm success

You return to UnleashX and the Google Tasks connector shows a Connected badge.

​
Use Google Tasks in a Workflow

Once connected, you can add Google Tasks to any automation from the Workflows builder. Its triggers and tools appear in the Apps panel, marked with an MCP badge.
1

Add a trigger node

Open Workflows → New Workflow. On the canvas, click + Add Trigger. In the Paths panel, open the Apps tab and select Google Tasks — its Triggers are listed underneath. Use the search box if you have many connectors.
2

Add an action node

Click the + below any node to add a step, then pick Google Tasks again — this time the panel lists its Actions.
3

Configure the step

Fill in the fields for the trigger or action you picked. Required fields are marked with a red asterisk (*).
4

Add or select your account

Under Selected account, choose an already-connected account, or click Add Account to connect one now.
5

Save and test

Click Save. Use Test to verify the step, then toggle Publish when the workflow is ready.
The steps are the same for every connector. For the full workflow builder guide, see Using MCP in Workflows.

“Add ‘Send the Q3 report to finance’ to my Work list, due Friday.” → Runs Create Task on the Work list with the title and Friday’s due date. “What’s on my Personal list, and mark ‘Call the dentist’ as done.” → Runs List Tasks on the Personal list, then Update Task to mark “Call the dentist” complete.

​
7. Permissions & data access

UnleashX can:
  • Read and list your task lists and tasks.
  • Create task lists and add new tasks.
  • Update task details, due dates, and completion status.
  • Delete tasks where you allow it (this tool is clearly marked ⚠️).
UnleashX cannot:
  • Access other Google services (Gmail, Calendar, Drive) — those are separate connectors.
  • Change your Google account password or security settings.
  • Do anything your Google account doesn’t permit.
To disconnect: In UnleashX, open Data Connectors → Google Tasks → Disconnect. You can also revoke access at https://myaccount.google.com/permissions (Third-party apps with account access). Disconnecting revokes access immediately.

​
9. Frequently asked questions

Are my tasks stored by UnleashX? No. UnleashX reads and writes your tasks live through the Google Tasks API per request; it doesn’t keep a copy. Which account does the agent use? The Google account you selected when connecting. To switch, reconnect and choose a different account. Can the agent really delete tasks? Yes — the Delete Task tool (marked ⚠️) permanently removes a task. Use it deliberately. Does this work with Google Workspace accounts? Yes, as long as your admin allows third-party app access. If authorization is blocked, ask your Workspace admin to permit UnleashX.
