Why you should connect your Google Tasks to Briefmatic

Connecting your Google Tasks to your Briefmatic account allows you to see, review and resolve all your tasks from within Briefmatic or from within a tasks tab if you click on the option to “Go to Item.”

How to connect your Google Tasks profile to Briefmatic

To connect your google drive profile to your Briefmatic account follow these steps;

  1. Go to the Connections tab, click on the “Connect” button on the Google Tasks card and follow the prompts to authorise the connection. Briefmatic requires this approval to be able to scan your google tasks profile to find all your tasks and allow you to view, edit and resolve google tasks from within Briefmatic.

  2. Once the connection is enabled the syncing process will begin in the background and this may take a few minutes to complete depending on the number of google tasks you have.
