Usage Scenario: “Update Task Status”

In a to-do list application, when the user clicks the ‘Completed’ button:

• taskListId = the user's task list ID
• taskId = the selected task ID
• status = “completed”
• Action runs → Task is updated as completed.

Google Task Update Task Advanced Customizations

• Partial Update: Only the title, only the note, or only the status can be updated.
• Dynamic Input: If the user enters a new title or note from the form, an instant update can be made.
• Status Tracking: When the task is completed, the progress bar or statistics in the application can be updated.

Technical Risks and Controls

• If an incorrect taskId or taskListId is provided, the update cannot be performed.
• If an empty title is provided, the task title may be deleted → This should be checked on the UI side.
• If an invalid value is provided in the status field, the API returns an error.
• API quota limits must be taken into account.
