Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it. ## What do you want Formstack Documents and Google Tasks to do together? Give your AI client this address. `https://mcp.apiant.ai` One connection does both: ask your client to act in an app once, or have it build an automation that keeps running. Any client that takes a remote MCP server. Nothing to install. Create your free account, then sign in once in your browser. ### Set it up in your client ### Claude Code Run this in the directory you want to work in. `claude mcp add --transport http -s project apiant-ai https://mcp.apiant.ai` Start Claude Code there, approve the server, and sign in in the browser page it opens.

Everything your agent can do with Formstack Documents and Google Tasks ## Triggers and actions 6 triggers · 31 actions - Trigger **New Merged Document** Triggers when a merged/populated document is created. - Action **Combine Files** Joins several files into one PDF or Word document. Give it the files in the order you want them, either as links or as base64 content, and it returns the combined file. - Action **Convert File to PDF** Turns a Word, Excel, PowerPoint, image or HTML file into a PDF. Point it at the file with a link or supply the file content, and it returns the PDF. - Action **Copy Document** Makes a copy of one of your Formstack Documents templates under a new name, and returns the new document with its merge key, merge URL and available merge fields. - Action **Create Data Route** Creates a data route in Formstack Documents — a single endpoint that sends one set of data to several documents at once, following the rules you give it. Returns the new route with the URL to post data to. - Action **Create Data Route Merge** Sends one set of data into a Formstack Documents data route, which merges it into every document the route's rules select. Optionally returns the finished documents in the response. - Action **Create Document** Creates a new document template in Formstack Documents from HTML or from an uploaded PDF, Word, Excel or PowerPoint file, and returns its merge URL and the merge fields found in it. - Action **Delete Data Route** Deletes a data route from Formstack Documents. The documents the route pointed at are not deleted. - Action **Delete Document** Deletes a document template from Formstack Documents. - Action **Get Data Route** Returns one Formstack Documents data route, with its name, its merge URL and the rules that decide which documents the data goes to. - Action **Get Document** Returns one document template from Formstack Documents, with its name, type, output format, merge URL and — for HTML templates — the template's HTML. - Action **Get Document Fields** Returns the merge fields found in a Formstack Documents template, so you know which names to send when merging data into it. - Action **List Data Routes** Returns your Formstack Documents data routes, each with its name, key and the URL to send data to. - Action **List Documents** Returns your Formstack Documents templates, each with its name, type, output format and merge URL. - Action **Update Data Route** Updates a Formstack Documents data route — its name, folder, or the rules that decide which documents receive the data. Anything you leave blank stays as it is. - Action **Update Document** Updates a Formstack Documents template — its name, folder, output format, filename or the template content itself. Anything you leave blank stays as it is; the template type cannot be changed. - 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. - Trigger **New Task List Created** Triggers when a new Google Tasks task list is created. This trigger monitors Google Tasks and fires when new task lists are detected. - Trigger **Task Details Changed** Triggers when a specific task's details change. This trigger monitors a single Google Task and fires when any of its details (title, notes, status, due date, completion, position) are modified. - Trigger **Task List Changed** Triggers when a task list changes (title or content updates). This trigger monitors a specific Google Tasks list and fires when changes are detected. - Trigger **Task Updated** Triggers when an existing task is updated in a Google Tasks list. This trigger monitors a specific task list and fires when tasks are modified. - Action **Batch Execute** Executes multiple Google Tasks API operations in a single HTTP batch request and returns structured per-item results. Use this to reduce LLM tool invocations when performing bulk operations like updating many tasks, moving tasks, or deleting multiple items. Note: Each sub-request still counts toward API quota; batching primarily reduces HTTP overhead and tool call count. - Action **Clear Tasks** Permanently clears all completed tasks from a specified google tasks list; this action is destructive and idempotent. - Action **Create Task List** Creates a new task list with the specified title. - Action **Delete Task** Deletes a specified task from a given task list in google tasks. - Action **Delete Task List** Permanently deletes an existing google task list, identified by `tasklist id`, along with all its tasks; this operation is irreversible. - Action **Get Task** Use to retrieve a specific google task if its `task id` and parent `tasklist id` are known. - Action **Get Task List** Retrieves a specific task list from the user's google tasks if the `tasklist id` exists for the authenticated user. - Action **Insert Task** Creates a new task in a given `tasklist id`, optionally as a subtask of an existing `task parent` or positioned after an existing `task previous` sibling, where both `task parent` and `task previous` must belong to the same `tasklist id` if specified. - Action **List Task Lists** Fetches the authenticated user's task lists from google tasks; results may be paginated. - Action **List Tasks** Retrieves tasks from a google tasks list; all date/time strings must be rfc3339 utc, and `showcompleted` must be true if `completedmin` or `completedmax` are specified. - Action **Move Task** Moves the specified task to another position in the destination task list. - Action **Patch Task** Partially updates an existing task (identified by `task id`) within a specific google task list (identified by `tasklist id`), modifying only the provided attributes from `taskinput` (e.g., `title`, `notes`, `due` date, `status`) and requiring both the task and list to exist. - Action **Patch Task List** Updates the title of an existing google tasks task list. - Action **Update Task** Updates the specified task. - Action **Update Task Full** Tool to fully replace an existing Google Task using PUT method. Use when you need to update the entire task resource, not just specific fields. This method requires all required fields (id, title) and replaces the complete task, unlike PATCH which supports partial updates. - Action **Update Task List** Updates the authenticated user's specified task list. ## Each app on its own - [ **Formstack Documents** Introducing Formstack Documents, formerly WebMerge.](https://apiant.ai/connections/formstack-documents) - [ **Google Tasks** Google Tasks provides a simple to-do list and task management system integrated into Gmail and Google...](https://apiant.ai/connections/google-tasks) Reviews ## What our customers say ## More from Formstack Documents - [ **Formstack Documents to HubSpot** HubSpot is your all-in-one stop for all of your marketing software needs.](https://apiant.ai/connect/formstack-documents-to-hubspot) - [ **Formstack Documents to Salesforce** Salesforce is a leading enterprise customer relationship management (CRM) platform.](https://apiant.ai/connect/formstack-documents-to-salesforce) - [ **Formstack Documents to Slack** Slack is a messaging platform for teams.
