Connecting to Google Tasks

Create an auth config

Use the dashboard to create an auth config for the Google Tasks toolkit. This allows you to connect multiple Google Tasks accounts to Composio for agents to use.

1

Select App

Navigate to [Google Tasks](https://platform.composio.dev?next_page=/marketplace/Google Tasks).

2

Configure Auth Config Settings

Select among the supported auth schemes of and configure them here.

3

Create and Get auth config ID

Click “Create Google Tasks Auth Config”. After creation, copy the displayed ID starting with ac_. This is your auth config ID. This is not a sensitive ID — you can save it in environment variables or a database. This ID will be used to create connections to the toolkit for a given user.
