Automatically create Google Tasks from Gmail labeled emails

Automatically create Google Tasks from new Gmail emails labeled "To-Do".

Who is this for?

• This template is perfect for individuals and teams who want to boost their productivity by automatically converting important emails into actionable tasks in Google Tasks.

What problem is this workflow solving?

• Manually managing emails and creating tasks can be tedious. This workflow ensures you never miss a follow-up by instantly turning important emails into tasks without switching between apps.

What this workflow does?

• Watches for new emails in Gmail with the label "To-Do".
• Creates a new Google Task with the email subject as the task title and the email snippet as notes.
• Sets the task due date to 24 hours after the email is received.

Setup

• Create a label "To-Do" in your Gmail account if it doesn't already exist.
• Connect your Gmail and Google Tasks accounts to n8n using OAuth2 credentials.
• Import the workflow into n8n and activate it.

How to customize this workflow to your needs?

• Change the Gmail label to a different one (e.g., "Important", "Follow-up").
• Modify the due date logic in the expression if you want more/less time to complete tasks: {{ $now.add(2, 'days').toISOString() }}
• Add additional Gmail filters (like only unread emails) to refine which emails create tasks.
