Connect and select your lists
- Open Settings → Accounts and connect your Google account with Tasks permission. For an existing connection with missing permission, use Grant Permissions.
- Open Settings → Tasks. Select the Google Task lists you want included.
- Choose whether to enable Show completed tasks, then check the menu-bar agenda.
A list can be connected correctly even if it has no tasks in the date range being shown.
Create or edit a task
Use Create Task from GCal’s menu to open the task-creation interface in Google Calendar. Edit the task there. The native Tasks connection reads your lists; it does not write task changes through the Tasks API.
Set up task reminders
In Settings → Notifications, enable native notifications and the task reminders you want. Scheduled tasks and all-day tasks have separate timing options. Undated or completed tasks do not generate these reminders.
If tasks are missing, check Tasks permission, selected lists, and the completed-task setting. Use Refresh in the Tasks pane to reload the list of available task lists. See the notification guide for delivery problems.
