Keep the right contact close to a new task
For tasks that depend on a person, send the relevant contact card to WhatsApp as soon as the task is captured.
Trigger
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a Google Tasks list. Uses timestamp filtering (updatedMin) to efficiently detect new tasks.
Action
Send contacts
Send contacts whatsapp number. note: the message will be delivered to the recipient only if they have initiated a conversation first.
Why this helps
A task can stall when the contact needed for follow-up is buried somewhere else.
- Bring a relevant contact into the same channel as the task alert.
- Reduce time spent searching for contact details.
- Support follow-up tasks that depend on a person.
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 a new task clearly names a follow-up contact, send that contact's card to my WhatsApp conversation if the details are available.
- 4Pick the Google Tasks New Task Created trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real task and an available contact. WhatsApp delivers contacts only if the recipient initiated a conversation first.
Questions about this workflow
Will Google Tasks always include contact details?
No. The trigger describes task details, but it does not guarantee a phone number or contact record. Supply missing contact information or skip sending when it is unavailable.
Can contacts be sent to any WhatsApp recipient?
The action notes that the recipient must have initiated a conversation first for delivery.
