  • Natural language interaction with your task management system

Configuration Parameters

The Google Task Agent Node requires Google authentication and operates with a simple configuration interface.

    Add the following to my TODO list: Schedule team meeting for next week, Review Q1 reports, Update project timeline.

    Create a new task list for my vacation planning and add items for accommodation, flights, and activities.

    Mark all completed tasks in my work list as done and clear them.

    Find all tasks due this week.

Use Case Examples

  1. Project Management:

    Create task lists for different projects and manage deliverables with due dates and detailed notes.

  2. Personal Organization:

    Maintain multiple task lists for different aspects of life (work, personal, shopping, etc.) and manage them through natural language commands.

  3. Team Coordination:

    Create and update shared task lists for team projects, with the ability to track progress and clear completed items.

Best Practices

  1. Check existing tasks before adding new ones to avoid duplicates
  2. Use the default task list when no specific list is mentioned
  3. Include due dates for time-sensitive tasks
  4. Add descriptive notes to tasks when needed
  5. Regularly clear completed tasks to maintain organization

Error Handling and Troubleshooting

  • Authentication Issues:

    If you encounter authentication errors, disconnect and reconnect your Google account, ensuring you grant Tasks permissions when prompted.

  • Access Rights:

    Ensure you have appropriate access rights to the task lists you’re trying to modify.

  • Task List Management:

    When deleting task lists or clearing tasks, double-check that you’re working with the correct list to avoid accidental deletions.

The agent uses Claude 3 Sonnet by default to ensure optimal performance and understanding of task management contexts.
