The Google Task Create Task action is used to create a new task on Google Tasks. Users can directly add new tasks from within the application, write task notes, and create a task hierarchy (parentId, prevSiblingTaskId).
Technical Specifications
Function: Adds a new task to the specified task list.
Parameters
settings (Object – required): Google Tasks API connection settings.
taskListId (String – required): The ID of the list to which the task will be added.
title (String – required): The title of the task.
notes (String – optional): Task description or details.
parentId (String – optional): If the task will be a sub-task, the ID of the parent task it will be linked to.
prevSiblingTaskId (String – optional): The ID of the previous task to determine the task's order in the existing list.
Result: Singular (One) → Returns an object containing the details of the created task.
Value Binding
Fixed Value: The task title, notes, or list ID can be entered manually.
Dynamic Value: Can be bound from form inputs, user selections, or other action outputs.

When a user wants to add a new task to the “To-Do” list:

title = “Go Shopping”
notes = “Buy milk, bread, eggs”
Action runs → Task is added to the list.
The application displays this new task in the list view.
Google Task Create Task Advanced Customizations
Create Subtasks: Organize tasks hierarchically with the parentId parameter.
Dynamic Title: Directly link the task title written by the user in the form input.

Technical Risks and Controls
taskListId and title cannot be empty.
If parentId is incorrect, the task will not be added.
Very long notes may exceed Google Tasks API limits.
