Learn the details of copying to-dos from Google Docs

Connecting Google Docs Basics

Unlike other source apps, Google doesn't currently provide a method to access checklist items in Google Docs. However, for Google work and school accounts, Google provides the ability to assign Google Docs' checklist items to members of your organization via Google Tasks. TaskClone uses this capability to sync the same to-dos with any of our supported task apps. For this reason, you'll be prompted to connect TaskClone to Google Tasks when creating a connection.

Assigning Tasks in Google Docs

In Google Docs, start a checklist using the checklist icon which is similar to a bulleted or numbered list in the menu. Each new line becomes a new checklist item.

To assign the checklist item to someone in your organization, tap/click the Add to Task icon to the left of the checkbox of the checklist item. You can also set a due date before assigning the item. Learn more

Any tasks assigned to you from a Google Doc will be processed by TaskClone, not just those you assign to yourself. In this way, your entire team or organization can use Google Docs as a central hub of action items (e.g. from meeting notes), but each team member with a TaskClone account can manage their assigned tasks from the supported task app of their choice.

If your supported task app supports two-way sync, you can mark the task complete in Google Docs, Google Tasks or the supported task app and each of the other apps will be updated. See Supported Apps

Managing Task Notifications

By default, Google Tasks sends email notifications for each newly created task and for updates on those tasks. To change these settings, open the specific doc and select "Notification Settings" in the "Tools" menu item.

You have multiple options for notification settings. Learn more
