How to connect Google Tasks to Microsoft Teams
Follow these steps to set up your integration. The entire process takes under 5 minutes.
What you'll need
- An active Google Tasks account
- An active Microsoft Teams account with permission to install apps
- A free DeskFerry account (sign up takes 30 seconds)
- Step 01
Create your DeskFerry account
Sign up at deskferry.app — it takes 30 seconds and starts a 7-day free trial. You'll land on the dashboard where you can create your first workflow.
- Step 02
Authenticate Google Tasks
Click "Add Connection" and select Google Tasks from the app directory. You'll be redirected to Google Tasks's authorization page. Grant DeskFerry access to your workspaces, databases, pages, and tasks. You select which workspaces the integration can read and write to.
- Step 03
Authenticate Microsoft Teams
Same process for Microsoft Teams. Click "Add Connection," select Microsoft Teams, and authorize access. Grant DeskFerry permission to read and post messages in your selected channels. You control which channels the integration can access.
- Step 04
Choose your trigger
Select what event starts the workflow. For this integration, popular triggers include: new item created in google tasks or new message received in microsoft teams. The trigger fires automatically whenever that event happens — no manual intervention.
- Step 05
Configure the action
Define what happens when the trigger fires. For example: send message in microsoft teams. Map the data fields between Google Tasks and Microsoft Teams so the right information lands in the right place.
- Step 06
Test and activate
Run a test to confirm data flows correctly between Google Tasks and Microsoft Teams. Check that the fields map as expected, then toggle the workflow on. It runs 24/7 from here — DeskFerry handles retries, error logging, and monitoring automatically.
