Email to Google Tasks integrations

IFTTT and Email enable you to automate the sending and receiving of important information effortlessly. Combined with Google Tasks, you can streamline your task management by creating new tasks from tagged emails, keeping your to-do lists organized and synchronized across all devices.
USE CASE

Streamlined task management

By tagging emails that require action, small business owners can automatically add these items to their Google Tasks, ensuring that important tasks are never missed.

Get started
