Watch Google Task from any Task List ID

Hi Makers.

I am working on scenario which reacts on a newly created task. It works but only on tasks created directly in My Tasks List. I would like to use a Google Chat for creating the initial task but it goes always to the separate task list (named by workspace from a chat group). The Watch Task feature in Make points to some existing Task List ID. Is there any way how to point it to any Task List under my account? Even the Task List which is not existing yet?

Thanks.

Welcome to the Make community!

Yes, that is possible. You’ll need a minimum of two modules and a date filter:

This is just an example. Your final solution may or may not look like this depending on your requirements.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

Thank you @samliew for quick response. Maybe I was overthinking it a little bit. I will just describe my solution and my issue.

I am using Watch Tasks trigger to react on any new task in My Tasks list. In some cases I am getting Tasks from Google Chat group. It is binded to my account and show up in My tasks list but MAKE scenario doesn’t react on this specific one. It works with any task created directly in My tasks list but on those which came from Google Chat. I really don’t know what to do.

I have got a problem with List Task Lists because part of my Scenario creates a new Task list with a number of subtasks and it falls into endless loop. It simply detects every newly created Task list and its subtasks, creates a new list with more subtasks etc.

Thank you for any idea how to solve it.
