Google Tasks

Send tasks from your voice notes to Google Tasks and keep their status in sync.

Setup​

  1. Go to Settings > Integrations
  2. Tap Google Tasks
  3. Sign in with your Google account (OAuth)
  4. Select the task list you want TellDone to use
  5. Tasks from future recordings export automatically

How it works​

  • Tasks created from your voice notes are automatically added to your selected Google Tasks list
  • Two-way status sync - task completions flow in both directions:
    • Complete a task in TellDone, and it's marked done in Google Tasks
    • Complete a task in Google Tasks, and TellDone picks it up automatically
  • Automatic sync - if auto-sync is enabled in Settings, TellDone syncs with Google Tasks on app open (minimum 30-minute interval), in the background (approximately every 4 hours), and immediately on every task toggle
  • Manual sync - tap Sync in Settings > Integrations > Google Tasks at any time

Enable or disable automatic sync in Settings > Integrations > Auto-sync.

tip

For the most accurate daily reports, open TellDone in the evening before your report generates at midnight. This triggers a sync and ensures completed Google Tasks are reflected.

note

Google Tasks is a local integration available on iOS only. It works directly on your device, does not require a paid plan, and does not count against your server integration slots.

Troubleshooting​

If tasks aren't syncing:

  1. Check that you're still signed in - go to Settings > Integrations > Google Tasks
  2. Try disconnecting and reconnecting your Google account
  3. Make sure you have a task list selected
  4. Use the manual Sync button to force a sync
tip

Google Tasks works alongside other task integrations like Apple Reminders or Todoist. Each integration syncs independently, so you can use multiple at once.
