Bring the place for an in-person task into WhatsApp
For a task that involves going somewhere, put its available location in the WhatsApp conversation when the task changes.
Trigger
Task Details Changed
Triggers when a specific task's details change. This trigger monitors a single Google Task and fires when any of its details (title, notes, status, due date, completion, position) are modified.
Action
Send location
Send a location message to a whatsapp number. note: the location will be shared with the recipient only if they have texted first.
Why this helps
A task that needs an in-person visit is harder to act on if its location is separated from the reminder.
- Keep a relevant location beside the task update.
- Make in-person follow-through easier to plan.
- Avoid sending a location when task details do not provide one.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Tasks and WhatsApp once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3Describe the outcome: when this specific task changes, send its available location in WhatsApp only if the task contains a clear place.
- 4Pick the Google Tasks Task Details Changed trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real task that includes a location. The recipient must have texted your WhatsApp number first.
Questions about this workflow
Does Google Tasks have a dedicated location field in this trigger?
The trigger description does not list a dedicated location field. Use this only when the task details provide a clear place; otherwise, the automation should not send a location.
Will the location be delivered automatically?
WhatsApp delivery for a location message requires that the recipient has texted your number first.
