# Google Tasks
> What agents can do in Google Tasks at each access level, and how to connect, limit, and disconnect Google Tasks.
Connect Google Tasks so your agents can work in your Google Tasks account. You choose an access level for each account, and Squad refuses any agent action outside that level.
## Access levels
Each Google Tasks account has an access level: **Read-only** and **Full access**. Squad refuses any agent action outside that level. You can also narrow or block single agents under **Per-agent access**.
| Level | The connect window describes this level as | Actions agents can use |
| ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ | ---------------------- |
| **Read-only** | "Read your task lists. Cannot create or modify." | 5 of 18 |
| **Full access** (recommended) | "Read, create, edit, and delete tasks." | 18 of 18 |
**Full access** is the recommended level. The connect window selects it for you, and you can choose another level.
The Google Tasks sign-in page asks you to approve full access to your account. This is expected. Squad does not narrow the sign-in. It checks every agent action against the level you chose, and it refuses actions outside that level.
## What agents can do at each level
Each level opens with a short summary in plain tasks, then lists every action it adds, grouped by what the action works on. You do not need to name actions. Ask in plain words, and the agent searches for the matching action.
**Find an action.** Open a level and use your browser's find (Ctrl+F, or Cmd+F on a Mac) with a word from the task or part of a slug. Or ask your agent in plain words, for example "What can you do in my Google Tasks account?" The agent can search the Google Tasks actions for you.
Each action shows its name, a one-line description where the Google Tasks action catalog has one, and its slug. The slug is the ID that agents use when they call the action.
Agents can use 5 of the 18 Google Tasks actions at this level:
* View tasks
* View task lists
All 5 actions at this level:
| Works on | Action | What it does | Slug |
| -------------- | --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------- |
| **Task lists** | Get task list | Retrieves a specific task list from the user's Google Tasks if the tasklist\_id exists for the authenticated user. | `GOOGLETASKS_GET_TASK_LIST` |
| | List task lists | Fetches the authenticated user's task lists from Google Tasks. | `GOOGLETASKS_LIST_TASK_LISTS` |
| **Tasks** | Get task | Retrieve a specific Google Task. | `GOOGLETASKS_GET_TASK` |
| | List all tasks | List all tasks across all of the user's task lists with optional filters. | `GOOGLETASKS_LIST_ALL_TASKS` |
| | List tasks | Retrieves tasks from a Google Tasks list. | `GOOGLETASKS_LIST_TASKS` |
Agents can use 18 of the 18 Google Tasks actions at this level: everything in **Read-only**, plus:
* Create, update, and delete tasks
* Create, update, and delete task lists
The 13 actions that this level adds to **Read-only**:
| Works on | Action | What it does | Slug |
| ----------------- | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------- |
| **Task lists** | Create task list | Creates a new task list with the specified title and returns a tasklist\_id. | `GOOGLETASKS_CREATE_TASK_LIST` |
| | Delete task list | Permanently deletes an existing Google Task list, identified by tasklist\_id, along with all its tasks. | `GOOGLETASKS_DELETE_TASK_LIST` |
| | Patch task list | Updates the title of an existing Google Tasks task list. | `GOOGLETASKS_PATCH_TASK_LIST` |
| | Update task list | Updates the authenticated user's specified task list. | `GOOGLETASKS_UPDATE_TASK_LIST` |
| **Tasks** | Bulk insert tasks | DEPRECATED: Use BatchExecute instead. | `GOOGLETASKS_BULK_INSERT_TASKS` |
| | Clear tasks | Permanently and irreversibly clears all completed tasks from a specified Google Tasks list. | `GOOGLETASKS_CLEAR_TASKS` |
| | Delete task | Deletes a specified task from a Google Tasks list. | `GOOGLETASKS_DELETE_TASK` |
| | Insert task | Creates a new task in a given tasklist\_id, optionally as a subtask of an existing task\_parent or positioned after an existing task\_previous sibling, where both task\_parent and task\_previous must belong to the same tasklist\_id if specified. | `GOOGLETASKS_INSERT_TASK` |
| | Move task | Moves the specified task to another position in the task list or to a different task list. | `GOOGLETASKS_MOVE_TASK` |
| | Patch task | Partially updates an existing task (identified by task\_id) within a specific Google Task list (identified by tasklist\_id), modifying only the provided attributes from TaskInput (e.g., title, notes, due date, status) and requiring both the task and list to exist. | `GOOGLETASKS_PATCH_TASK` |
| | Update task | DEPRECATED: Use GOOGLETASKS\_PATCH\_TASK instead. | `GOOGLETASKS_UPDATE_TASK` |
| | Update task full | Fully replace an existing Google Task using PUT method. | `GOOGLETASKS_UPDATE_TASK_FULL` |
| **Other actions** | Batch execute | Executes multiple Google Tasks API operations in a single HTTP batch request and returns structured per-item results. | `GOOGLETASKS_BATCH_EXECUTE` |
## Connect Google Tasks
Before you start:
* You need a Google Tasks account that you can sign in to.
* Your Squad subscription must be active. Squad does not connect apps while the subscription is not active.
Open **Settings** > **Integrations**.
On the **Connected apps** tab, click **+ Add integration**.
Find **Google Tasks** in the catalog and click it. You can type the name in **Search the catalog…**.
Under **Default scope**, choose an access level. This level applies to every agent.
Click **Connect Google Tasks**. The Google Tasks sign-in page opens in a new tab.
Sign in to Google Tasks and approve the request.
Check that it works: Google Tasks shows under **YOUR CONNECTIONS**, with a row for the account and its access level.
## Change the access level
1. Under **YOUR CONNECTIONS**, find the Google Tasks account.
2. Open the account menu (⋯) and click **Manage scope**.
3. Under **Default scope**, choose the new level.
4. Click **Save access**.
The change does not need a new sign-in. Agents get the new level from their next call.
## Set access for one agent
Every agent uses the account's level unless you set something else for it. You can narrow one agent to a lower level, or block it.
1. Under **YOUR CONNECTIONS**, open the account menu (⋯) on the Google Tasks account.
2. Click **Manage scope**.
3. Under **Per-agent access**, find the agent.
4. Choose the **Default** option to follow the account's level, choose a lower level, or choose **No access**.
5. Click **Save access**.
An agent never gets more than the account's level, even if you choose a higher level for it. Changes apply from the agent's next call. An agent with **No access** does not see the account.
## Use more than one Google Tasks account
Click **+ Account** on the Google Tasks card to connect another account. Agents use the primary account unless they are asked to use a specific one.
* After you click **+ Account**, follow the connect steps above.
* Each account has its own access level.
* The first account you connect becomes the primary account. It shows **★ PRIMARY**.
* To change the primary account, open the account menu (⋯) and click **Make primary**.
* To tell accounts apart, open the account menu (⋯) and click **Rename**.
## Reconnect or disconnect
Reconnect when the connection has expired, or when you need to change what the account can reach on the Google Tasks side:
1. Open the account menu (⋯) and click **Reconnect**.
2. Click **Reauthorize on Google Tasks**.
3. Sign in to Google Tasks and approve the request.
Reconnect signs in to the same account again. It does not add a second connection.
Open the account menu (⋯) on the Google Tasks account and click **Disconnect**. Agents lose access to that account at once.
**Disconnect** acts at once, with no confirmation step. If it was the primary account, another connected Google Tasks account becomes primary.
## Costs
Google Tasks actions do not use Squad credits. Connected apps never use credits. For what does use credits, see [What Squad costs](/docs/costs).
## Troubleshooting
An agent reports that an action is not allowed on this account.
* Cause: the action is outside the account's access level, or outside the level you set for that agent.
* Fix: choose a higher level in **Manage scope**, or change the agent's row under **Per-agent access**.
An agent says it has no access to Google Tasks, or it does not see the account.
* Cause: the agent is set to **No access** under **Per-agent access**, or the account is not connected.
* Fix: open **Manage scope** and change the agent's row. If the account is missing, connect it again.
Connecting or saving fails with "Your subscription isn't active."
* Cause: your Squad subscription is not active.
* Fix: resubscribe. See [Manage your subscription](/docs/billing).
An agent says the Google Tasks connection has expired.
* Cause: the sign-in for that account is no longer valid.
* Fix: use **Reconnect** on the account.
## Common questions
Each Google Tasks account has an access level: **Read-only** and **Full access**. Squad refuses any agent action outside that level. You can also narrow or block single agents under **Per-agent access**.
Click **+ Account** on the Google Tasks card to connect another account. Agents use the primary account unless they are asked to use a specific one.
Open the account menu (⋯) on the Google Tasks account and click **Disconnect**. Agents lose access to that account at once.
