Google Docs to Things setup steps
1. Select Google Docs
Click the Google Docs icon to select it as your source of tasks and events.
2. Connect Google Docs
Note: Google Docs setup requires a two-step process to 1) connect your account, and 2) authorize access to specific Docs.
Grant permission to connect TaskClone to your Google Drive/Docs account. You will authorize access to specific Docs in a later step. Be sure you're authorizing the specific Google Docs account you want to use. When you are returned to TaskClone, click "Next" to continue.
3. Select Things as your destination
Click the Things icon if visible or select Things using search field. Click “Next” button to save and continue.
4. Find your Things Email Address
Login to Things in different browser tab, locate and copy the unique email address where Things will receive and process the tasks we send. Learn more.
5. Enter Destination Email for Things
Paste unique email from Things in the Destination Email field that appears in the TaskClone setup wizard.
6. Finish
Click Finish button. You're now connected, but there is one more step.
7. Authorize Individual Google Documents
Because Google Docs requires granting access to each specific Doc you want us to process, we've built a simple Google Docs Add-on to make that easy from within Google Docs. Install our Google Docs Add-on just once (see instructions) and then use the add-on whenever you want to grant access to one or more Google Docs (see instructions).
