How to Send The Events Calendar Data to Google Tasks

Google Tasks is a task management platform. Here is how to pipe The Events Calendar event straight into Google Tasks using Advanced Form Integration. The setup takes about five minutes and runs entirely on your own server.

The direct approach

AFI delivers event data straight from WordPress to Google Tasks. No third-party cloud, no per-task fees, and every request is logged for troubleshooting.

What you will need

• A WordPress site with The Events Calendar installed and configured.
• A Google Tasks account.
• The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).

Connect Google Tasks to AFI

Google Tasks uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → Google Tasks, click Authorize and grant access. This is a one-time step.

Setting up the integration

1. Create a new integration

Go to AFI → Add New. Name it The Events Calendar to Google Tasks.

2. Pick your trigger

Select The Events Calendar as the form provider. AFI fires when an event RSVP or ticket order is submitted, giving you access to attendee name, email, event title, event date, ticket type, and order total.

3. Select Google Tasks as the destination

Choose Google Tasks from the platform dropdown and pick Create Task. This creates a task in Google Tasks.

4. Map fields

Match each Google Tasks field on the left to the corresponding The Events Calendar field on the right. Common mappings include attendee name, email, event title, event date, ticket type, and order total. You can also use smart tags like {{_submission_date}}.

5. Add conditions if needed

Only want to send certain records? Set up a conditional rule based on any field value.

6. Save and test

Click Save Integration. Trigger a test event in The Events Calendar. Check Google Tasks to confirm the data arrived. If anything looks wrong, open AFI → Log to see the exact request and response.

Free vs Pro

The free version maps title and notes to Google Tasks with unlimited records. Pro adds task list selection. No per-record fees on any plan.
