Agents capture actionable email and events as tasks and confirm before sweeping a shared list.

An actionable email arrives in the connected user's inbox 2. Agent reads the sender, subject, and the request in the body 3. Agent confirms the message actually warrants a task 4. Agent picks the task list and a due date for the follow-up 5. Agent creates the task with the sender and subject in the notes 6. Agent records the source so the task carries its context 7. A task the agent is unsure warrants a follow-up is routed for a person to confirm ## What This Integration Enables FlowRunner agents use Google Tasks to capture and organize work as decisions, not manual entry. An agent can create tasks from emails, forms, or calendar events, add follow-up items after a meeting ends, and mark them complete or reopen them as a workflow progresses. It can move tasks between lists or reposition them under parents, and periodically clear completed tasks to keep active lists clean. The routine capture and housekeeping run on their own. The judgment call about whether something is really a task, or whether a batch of completed items is safe to clear, is where the agent stops to ask. ### Without FlowRunner **Inbox as to-do list**: Follow-ups live in the inbox until someone copies them into a list **Dropped follow-ups**: Requests slip because no task was created **Cluttered lists**: Completed items pile up and active work is hard to see ### With FlowRunner **Emails become tasks**: Actionable messages are captured as Google Tasks the moment they arrive **Nothing slips**: Every request that needs follow-up gets a task with a due date **Tidy active lists**: Completed items are cleared on a schedule so active work stays visible ## Use Case Scenarios ### Email to Follow-Up Task An actionable email arrives. The agent reads it, picks the right task list and a due date, and creates a task with Create Task, putting the sender and subject in the notes so the context travels with it. The inbox stops doubling as a to-do list. ### Post-Meeting Follow-Ups When a calendar event ends, the agent creates follow-up tasks with Create Task for the action items, then calls Complete Task as each is handled. Because the agent reacts to the meeting ending, the follow-ups are captured while the discussion is fresh. ### Scheduled Cleanup with a Confirmation Gate On a schedule, the agent tidies active lists by clearing completed items with Clear Completed Tasks. When a list still has recently completed items that may need review before they are hidden, the agent does not clear blindly. It flags the list owner to confirm the cleanup before completed tasks are moved out of view. ## Human-in-Loop Highlight When an agent is about to run Clear Completed Tasks on a shared list, it does not just sweep it. Clearing hides completed items from default listings, and on a list others rely on that can bury work someone still wanted to see. The agent pauses and routes to the list owner through their preferred channel: "List '\[Task List\]' has \[N\] completed items, \[M\] finished in the last day. Clear them now or hold?" The owner decides, and the agent runs Clear Completed Tasks only on confirmation. Routine capture runs on its own; sweeping a shared list reaches a person first. Agent processes routinely Detects exception requiring judgment Clear match Continues automatically Ambiguous Routes to human via preferred channel Human decides Agent resumes with decision ## Agent Capabilities 13 actions ### Task Lists 4 - **Create Task List** Creates a task list in the connected user's account. Used to provision a list for a project or workflow. - **List Task Lists** Lists all task lists, including the default "My Tasks". Used to resolve which list to file work in. - **Update Task List** Renames a task list, preserving its other properties. Used to keep list names in sync. - **Delete Task List** Permanently deletes a task list and all its tasks. The default list cannot be deleted. Used in cleanup. ### Tasks 9 - **Create Task** Creates a task with a title, notes, and a due date, optionally positioned as a subtask or after a sibling. Used to turn a message, event, or row into tracked work. - **Get Task** Retrieves a single task with its title, notes, status, and due date. Used to read current state before acting. - **List Tasks** Lists tasks in a list, optionally filtered by due-date and completion-date range. Used to find the tasks a workflow should process. - **Update Task** Updates a task's fields, changing only the ones provided. Used to reschedule or edit a task. - **Complete Task** Marks a task completed, recording the completion time. Used to mark work done. - **Reopen Task** Reopens a completed task and clears its completion time. Used to reverse a premature close. - **Delete Task** Permanently deletes a task and its subtasks. Used in cleanup. - **Move Task** Moves a task to another position, under a parent, or to a different list. Used to reorganize work. - **Clear Completed Tasks** Clears completed tasks from a list by marking them hidden. The items are not deleted and can still be retrieved with Show Hidden. Used to keep active lists tidy, gated behind a human confirmation on shared lists. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What can FlowRunner do with Google Tasks? FlowRunner agents can run Create Task List, List Task Lists, and Update Task List in Google Tasks, plus 10 more actions. ### Does connecting Google Tasks to FlowRunner require OAuth? Yes. Google Tasks connects to FlowRunner with OAuth 2.0, so agents authenticate without handling raw credentials. ### Can Google Tasks trigger a FlowRunner workflow automatically? Google Tasks doesn't currently expose triggers in FlowRunner. It connects as an action step inside workflows started by another trigger. **Work at Google Tasks?** This integration exposes Google Tasks to AI agents on every FlowRunner plan, including through MCP, at no cost to you.
