How this automation works

Automate your smart home by triggering a Homey Flow when new Google Tasks are created. This Applet runs whenever a new task is added to one of your Google task lists and starts a selected Flow in Homey using task details as tags. Ideal for keeping your smart home or routines in sync with your to-do list.
