Adding Action Items to Google Tasks

[gonzaldm520]

Hi - I'm trying to create an Airtable for my team's weekly meetings. In one of the tables, we are adding action items from the meeting and designating the person working on it. However, we'd like to add an automation where these action items would then be created as tasks in Google. Is this automation possible?

Sure, you can do this very easily with Make’s Google Task integrations. 

If you’ve never used Make before, it might take you a little while to learn it, so I gathered some training resources here:

Hope this helps! If you’d like to hire an expert Airtable consultant to help you with anything Airtable-related, please feel free to contact me through my website: Airtable consultant — ScottWorld

Unfortunately there's no automation action that deals with that natively.  You could try writing a script to handle that for you via the "Run a Script" action? 

If not, you'd need to use a third party solution like Zapier, IFTT, Make, etc

I would NOT recommend Zapier.

Make is INFINITELY more powerful & customizable than Zapier, yet it is SIGNIFICANTLY CHEAPER than Zapier.

I wrote an entire post here comparing Make vs. Zapier. https://air.tableforums.com/t/make-vs-zapier/737

Any examples of how to do this? I've not used the "Run a Script" stuff yet.
