Trigger

Triggers when a new task is created in a Google Tasks list. Uses timestamp filtering (updatedMin) to efficiently detect new tasks.
Action

Why this helps
New tasks can get buried before you have a chance to plan when to do them.
- Notice new tasks without checking Google Tasks repeatedly.
- Keep the notification short and easy to scan.
- Reduce the chance that an incoming task gets overlooked.

- 1Connect Google Tasks and WhatsApp once in the Notis portal.

- 3Describe the outcome: send me a concise WhatsApp message when a new Google Task is created, including its title and list when available.
- 4Pick the Google Tasks New Task Created trigger and choose where run reports should go.
