How to sync Google Tasks with Notion
Setting up Google Tasks sync takes under five minutes:
- Connect your Google account to 2sync and authorize Google Tasks access.
- Select your Notion database or let 2sync create one with the right properties.
- Map your fields to control how task titles, due dates, notes, and subtasks flow between apps.
- Enable the sync and tasks start flowing automatically.
For a detailed walkthrough with screenshots, see the Google Tasks setup guide.
Why sync Google Tasks with Notion?
Google Tasks is fast for capturing to-dos, especially on mobile. Notion is powerful for planning, linking, and visualizing projects. Most people who use both end up copying tasks between them manually, or they give up and check two apps constantly to stay on top of things.
2sync connects Google Tasks and Notion with a true two-way sync. When you create a task in Google Tasks, it appears in your Notion database as a real page you can edit, filter, and link to other databases. When you add a task in Notion, it shows up in Google Tasks. Edit in either app and the change flows to the other. No manual updates, no duplicated effort.
All plans include a 14-day free trial, so you can test the full sync before paying.
What syncs between Google Tasks and Notion?
2sync supports 7 Google Tasks fields, covering everything the Google Tasks API exposes:
- Task title: Task names sync in both directions
- Notes: Task descriptions and details sync as rich text in Notion (plain text in Google Tasks)
- Due date: Dates with or without times, including all-day tasks
- Completed: Check off in one app, done in both
- Completed at: When the task was finished (syncs to Notion automatically)
- Task list: Which list the task belongs to, for filtering and grouping in Notion
- Parent task: Subtask hierarchy preserved through Notion relations
Each field can be configured independently as two-way, one-way to Notion, or one-way to Google Tasks. You control exactly how your data flows.
Task lists, subtasks, and recurring tasks
Google Tasks organizes work into lists, supports one level of subtask nesting, and handles recurring tasks with a moving due date. 2sync preserves all of this structure in Notion.
Task lists sync as a Select property, so you can filter and group tasks by list in Notion views. Sync multiple lists into one database or map each to its own. When you create a task in Notion, the default asset setting determines which list it goes to.
Subtasks sync as separate Notion pages linked to their parent through a Relation property. This gives you rollups (count subtasks, calculate completion percentages) and the ability to filter by parent task. Completing a parent task in Google Tasks completes its subtasks automatically, and 2sync reflects that in Notion.
Recurring tasks work differently than in calendar apps. Google Tasks keeps one task with a moving due date. When you complete a recurring "Weekly Review" due Monday, Google Tasks advances it to next Monday. 2sync updates the same Notion page with the new date and resets the completion checkbox. You always see the current occurrence, not a backlog of future ones.
Google Tasks Notion integration: more than a workaround
There is no native integration between Google Tasks and Notion. The usual workarounds all fall short.
Copying tasks manually works until you forget. Embedding Google Tasks in Notion as a bookmark gives you a link, not database items you can filter, sort, or connect to other pages. Free sync tools like the ones on the Google Workspace Marketplace typically handle only titles and dates, break after a few weeks, or cap out at basic one-way imports.
Tools like Pleexy sync tasks from Notion to Google Tasks, but cannot create new tasks in Notion from Google Tasks. That is one-way sync dressed up as a solution.
2sync creates actual Notion pages for each task. They are real database items you can work with: add custom properties, create views, build relations to project or client databases, and use rollups to calculate things like tasks completed this week.
2sync vs Zapier for Google Tasks
Zapier connects Google Tasks and Notion through one-way automations. You create a Zap that triggers when a task is added in Google Tasks, and it creates a page in Notion. For the reverse direction, you build a second Zap. This approach has three problems: no built-in duplicate prevention, risk of infinite loops (Zap A triggers Zap B triggers Zap A), and no way to sync updates to existing tasks without complex workarounds.
2sync handles all of this in a single setup. Two-way sync runs automatically with built-in deduplication and conflict handling. Subtasks maintain their parent-child hierarchy through Notion relations, something Zapier cannot do. Recurring task date advancement works out of the box, while Zapier has no mechanism for it.
Zapier also charges per task: the free plan allows 100 tasks per month with 15-minute delays. A busy workspace can exhaust that in days. 2sync charges per automation with unlimited synced items, so your bill stays predictable regardless of task volume.
