Google Tasks Spoke
Summarize
Summary of Google Tasks Spoke
The Google Tasks spoke enables ServiceNow customers to manage Google Tasks and task lists directly from their ServiceNow instance. It requires an Integration Hub subscription and supports API version v1 with the latest spoke version 1.4.0.

This integration allows automation of task management activities such as creating, updating, deleting, and retrieving tasks and task lists in Google Tasks, enhancing workflow efficiency by connecting ServiceNow with Google’s task management service.
Key Features
- Spoke Actions: Includes comprehensive task and task list management actions:
- Task Management: Create, update, delete, retrieve, and complete tasks.
- Task List Management: Create, update, delete, and retrieve task lists.
- Sample Subflows: Draft subflows demonstrate automations, such as moving ServiceNow attachments to Google Tasks. These can be copied and customized in a new application scope.
- AI Agents: The spoke provides standalone AI agents to perform Google Tasks operations using natural language instructions within agentic workflows. Agents cover both task and task list management, including retrieving task list IDs by name. Customers can clone and customize these agents as needed.
- Connection and Credential Aliases: Integration Hub manages connections and OAuth credentials via aliases, simplifying credential management across environments without requiring updates to individual actions.
- MID Server Support: REST calls can run on the instance or through a MID Server, with configuration options for connection records and MID Server selection attributes.
Practical Considerations
- Customers must create a custom app in the Google Developers Console to enable the Google Tasks spoke integration.
- Users running AI agents need appropriate roles and permissions to access or modify the associated data.
- Setting up the spoke involves configuring connection aliases and optionally using a MID Server for REST calls to meet organizational security and network requirements.
Key Outcomes
By implementing the Google Tasks spoke, ServiceNow customers can seamlessly integrate Google Tasks management within their workflows, automate task handling with AI-driven agents, and simplify credential management across multiple environments. This integration streamlines task coordination, improves productivity, and supports intelligent automation leveraging ServiceNow’s Integration Hub capabilities.

| Get All Task Lists | Retrieve the details of all task lists in your Google Tasks account. | |
| Get Task List | Retrieve details of a specified task list. | |
| Update Task List | Update details of a specified task list. |
Available AI agents
Install Now Assist for Integration Hub and start using the available AI agents. For more information, see ServiceNow Otto for Integration Hub.
- In the ServiceNow agentic system, you can create an agentic workflow that comprises of a set of large language model (LLM) instructions along with one or more standalone AI agents to execute an
objective. See Create an agentic workflow for information about adding AI agents to create agentic workflows as per your requirement and provide the required trigger.
You can also search for other available AI agents and add them to your agentic workflow. See Find AI agents for more information.
- You can create a clone of the required spoke AI agent and customize it as per your requirement. See Duplicate an AI agent for more information about creating a clone.
- See Now Assist AI agents for information about AI agents.
| AI agent | Description |
|---|---|
| Google Tasks Task Management AI Agents | Manages task management tasks (that is, get a tasklist ID from a tasklist name, delete a task, get a task, update a task, create a task, complete a task) in Google Tasks. |
| Google Tasks Tasklist Management AI Agents | Manages tasklist management tasks (that is, update a tasklist, delete a tasklist, get a tasklist, create a tasklist, get all tasklists, get a tasklist ID from a tasklist name) in Google Tasks. |
| Google Tasks AI Agents | Retrieves tasklist ID from a tasklist name from Google Tasks. |
There might be AI agents installed with the Now Assist application that are not used in agentic workflows. To learn how to see all agents that are available to you, see Find AI agents.
Google Tasks spoke account requirements
The Google Tasks spoke requires a custom app that you create in the Google Developers Console.
Connection and credential alias requirements
Integration Hub uses aliases to manage connection and credential information, and OAuth credentials. Using an alias eliminates the need to configure multiple credentials and connection information profiles when using multiple environments. If the connection or credential information changes, you don't need to update any actions that use the connection.
For information about setting up the spoke, see Set up the Google Tasks spoke.
MID Server requirements
These actions use REST calls that can run either on an instance or, optionally, through a MID Server. Use the connection record associated with the Google Tasks alias to configure where actions run and, if needed, specify MID Server selection attributes. For more information, see MID server.
To set up the MID Server for this spoke, see Set up MID Server for a spoke.
