Google Tasks is a lightweight to-do list built into Gmail and Calendar. It suits agents that capture action items: from a meeting, an email or a chat, straight into the list people already check.
Capture action items
Turn the action items in a meeting summary into tasks with due dates.
Daily review
List what is due today across task lists and include it in a morning briefing.
Subtasks
Break a large task into subtasks and reorder them by priority.
Tidy up
Clear completed tasks from a list at the end of the week.
Tools to start with
- Create Task: Title, notes and due date in one call.
- Move Task: Reorders tasks or nests them as subtasks.
- Clear Completed Tasks: Removes finished tasks from a list.
Sign-in and permissions
Tasks uses OAuth on each person's account, so tasks are created in that person's own lists. Google Tasks lists are personal; there is no shared team list to write to.
Sign-in options on Metorial: OAuth.
