Describe the flow you need, at any depth, and your agent builds it and tests every scenario before it ships. Everything your agent can do with Google Tasks and OpenVan ## Triggers and actions 5 triggers · 34 actions - 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. - Action **Calculate route cost** Estimate the fuel and travel cost of a road-trip route between locations. - Action **Check visa requirement** Check whether a passport needs a visa for a given destination country. - Action **Compare food prices** Compare VanBasket food-price index values between two countries. - Action **Find news stories** Semantically search vanlife news stories by topic (RAG-based search). - Action **Get event** Get details for a single vanlife event. - Action **Get fuel prices** Get current fuel prices by country, for trip budgeting and route comparison. - Action **Get story** Get the full details of a single vanlife news story. - Action **Get temporary vehicle import rules** Get temporary vehicle-import rules for a country. - Action **Get VanBasket country** Get the VanBasket food-price index detail for a single country. - Action **Get VanSky weather for a country** Get the vanlife-oriented weather suitability score for a single country. - Action **Get visa rules changelog** Get the change log of visa and vehicle-import rule updates. - Action **Get visa rules for route** Get visa and vehicle-import rules for every country along a whole road-trip route in one request. - Action **List event articles** List news articles related to a vanlife event. - Action **List events** List vanlife-oriented events. - Action **List stories** List vanlife news stories. - Action **List VanBasket countries** List all countries covered by the VanBasket food-price index. - Action **List VanSky weather scores** List vanlife-oriented weather suitability scores for all countries. - Action **List visa-free destinations for a passport** List all destinations a given passport can enter without a prior visa. ## Each app on its own - [ **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) - [ **OpenVan** OpenVan publishes travel-cost and conditions data aimed at RV, campervan and road-trip planning.](https://apiant.ai/connections/openvan) Reviews ## What our customers say ## More from Google Tasks - [ **Google Tasks to BigML** BigML is a machine learning platform for building, evaluating, and running predictive models.](https://apiant.ai/connect/google-tasks-to-bigml) - [ **Google Tasks to Grist** Grist combines the flexibility of a spreadsheet with the robustness of a database to organize your data...](https://apiant.ai/connect/google-tasks-to-grist) - [ **Google Tasks to Mistral AI** Mistral AI is a platform for building, customizing, and deploying advanced AI models and agents for...](https://apiant.ai/connect/google-tasks-to-mistral-ai) - [ **Google Tasks to Morgen** Morgen is an all-in-one app for your time management](https://apiant.ai/connect/google-tasks-to-morgen) - [ **Google Tasks to HubSpot** HubSpot is your all-in-one stop for all of your marketing software needs.](https://apiant.ai/connect/google-tasks-to-hubspot) - [ **Google Tasks to Salesforce** Salesforce is a leading enterprise customer relationship management (CRM) platform.](https://apiant.ai/connect/google-tasks-to-salesforce) ## More into OpenVan - [ **Pipedrive to OpenVan** Pipedrive is a sales CRM and pipeline management tool.](https://apiant.ai/connect/pipedrive-to-openvan) - [ **HubSpot to OpenVan** HubSpot is your all-in-one stop for all of your marketing software needs.](https://apiant.ai/connect/hubspot-to-openvan) - [ **Salesforce to OpenVan** Salesforce is a leading enterprise customer relationship management (CRM) platform.](https://apiant.ai/connect/salesforce-to-openvan) - [ **Slack to OpenVan** Slack is a messaging platform for teams.

Any of Google Tasks's 5 triggers in the catalog, including New Task Created, New Task List Created, Task Details Changed and Task List Changed. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in OpenVan when something happens in Google Tasks? Any of OpenVan's 18 actions, including Calculate route cost, Check visa requirement, Compare food prices and Find news stories. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from OpenVan to Google Tasks? OpenVan has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Google Tasks. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads OpenVan's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Google Tasks or OpenVan? No. Both are in the catalog with their triggers and actions. You describe the automation; your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. ### ### Can my AI client use Google Tasks and OpenVan without building an automation? Yes. With your AI client connected to APIANT, ask it to do something in either app once and it runs that action on the spot. Ask for an automation and your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. One connection covers both. ### ### What happens when something fails? Your agent works that out for you. It plans the failure paths along with the happy path, then tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Is there a free plan? Yes. Every plan includes the agent, including free, and building from your own AI client spends no assistant credits.
