Google Tasks

The Google Tasks modules enable you to monitor, retrieve, create, update, or delete tasks and task lists in your Google Tasks.

Note

Make's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to Google API Services User Data Policy.

You have successfully created the client credentials.

Note

If you are using custom apps with publishing state, Testing, then you must set up the access token NOT TO be forced to re-authenticate every week after expiration.

However, our tests have shown that it is currently possible to set your Publishing Status to In Production to avoid this weekly re-authentication.

For more information, see setting up OAuth consent screen.

To set up app token and authentication, see using OAuth 2.0 for Web Server applications.
