Google Tasks
With this integration connected, you can use Filed Chat and Routines to retrieve information from Google Tasks and, when Write access is enabled, perform approved actions in Google Tasks.
Connect Google Tasks
Name the connection for the authorized Google user.
Sign in, approve authorization, and return to Filed.
Verify that the intended task lists are available.
Use read-only access for reporting; enable write only for approved task changes.
Task lists are scoped to the connected account.
Verify the connection
After the connection becomes Active, open a known item that the authorized account should be able to access. Confirm task-list access and Google consent. For a new connection, test against a non-production or non-client-sensitive item before relying on it in a deadline-driven workflow.
Manage permissions
Read access is always enabled. Turn off Write in the connection settings to prevent Filed from creating or modifying Google Tasks data while keeping the connection available for read-only workflows. Re-enable it only after the firm approves the change.
Troubleshooting
The authorization screen will not complete. Sign out of the wrong provider account, restart the connection, and use the firm-managed account that has task-list access and Google consent.
The connection is active but data is missing. The provider only exposes content available to the authorized user. Review task-list access and Google consent, then reconnect if the account or environment was wrong.
The connection is pending or failed. Open the connection in Filed, correct the provider-side issue, and select Reconnect. Do not create duplicate connections to work around a permissions problem.
Using this integration with Filed Chat and Routines
Use Chat for one-off questions and guided work on a client, such as finding Google Tasks information, summarizing it, or preparing an approved next step. Use Routines to automate repeatable work with Google Tasks data on a schedule or in response to a trigger.
Both experiences respect the connection's access: they can only use data the authorized account can reach, and they can only perform changes when Write is enabled. Review changes in the connected application before you finalize them.
Example prompts
Use these as starting points and replace the bracketed details with the client, date range, folder, record, or task you need. Filed will only run write actions when this connection's Write access is enabled.
“Summarize the Google Tasks information for [client name] for [date range].”
“Find items in Google Tasks that need review before [deadline].”
“With write access enabled, prepare the approved Google Tasks update and show the proposed changes first.”
Capabilities
Review financial operations information
Use Filed to retrieve the payroll, spend, payment, or billing information available to the connected account. This helps with review, reconciliation, and deadline-driven operational work.
Prepare approved financial operations changes
When Write access is enabled, Filed can support provider actions that your firm has approved. Review the proposed change carefully before allowing it to affect live financial records.
Separate reporting from action
Use read-only access for reporting and analysis. Enable Write only for a dedicated connection whose owner and scope are appropriate for production financial activity.
