How to automatically send a drafted email in Gmail every time a task is added in Google Tasks
Set the Google Tasks trigger as “New task added”
A playbook always starts with a trigger, which is responsible for detecting changes in your connected applications and responding accordingly.
Add the Google Tasks trigger to initiate your playbook's actions every time a task is added. Click "Add trigger" in your playbook and choose "New task added" from the dropdown menu under Google Tasks.
If you still need to connect your Google Tasks account to Relay.app yet, a prompt will guide you through the process.
Add the “Send draft” step in Gmail
Integrate the Gmail automation into your playbook to ensure the prompt sending of a drafted email in Gmail every time a task is added to Google Tasks.
Click the "Add step" button, locate the “Send draft” automation for Gmail, and input the mandatory and relevant details.
If your Gmail account still needs to be connected to Relay.app, you will be prompted to complete that connection. Make sure to allow the necessary permissions for Relay.app to sync with your Gmail account.
Activate your playbook
Activating your playbook is the last step in the process. Once you turn it on, it will automatically send a drafted email in Gmail whenever a task is added in Google Tasks without manual intervention.
To activate your playbook, click the toggle button at the header. Before activating, we recommend performing a test run of your playbook to ensure all the steps work seamlessly together.
