Google Tasks: don't forget customers' queries

If you use Google Tasks to help you manage your schedule, it is a good idea to transfer tasks from LiveChat to remember about a call or an email that your customer has requested - this all can be done with the use of Google Tasks integration.

In this tutorial you’ll find instructions on how to create a Zap adding a Task from chat to Google Tasks account.

Creating the LiveChat - Google Tasks Integration

Creating this Zap consists of three main parts:

1. Setting up the trigger
   - choosing an event that will start data passing
2. Configuring the action
   - setting up what will happen in the target app
3. Launching the Zap
   - turning the integration on

Setting up the trigger

First, set up a rule on which the information will be passed from LiveChat.

1. Log in to Zapier and click on Make a Zap in the upper menu.

2. Choose LiveChat as the Trigger App.
3. Select Chat changed as the Trigger.

4. Click on Save + Continue to proceed.
5. Click on Connect a New Account and then provide your LiveChat login email and the API key. Next, click on the Yes, confirm to accept.
