FAQs about our Google Docs to OmniFocus Integration
Here are some answers to common questions about how TaskClone works with Google Docs and OmniFocus.
TaskClone automatically extracts individual tasks from your Google Docs notes and syncs them to OmniFocus, ensuring no action items are missed. Unlike manual copy-pasting or generic automation tools, TaskClone reads your notes’ structure and intelligently transfers only actionable tasks.
Unlike Zapier, IFTTT, and Make, TaskClone:
• Extracts individual tasks from inside notes (not just moving whole notes)
• Syncs completion status (for supported apps)
• Can add due dates, labels, and priorities dynamically
This makes TaskClone the best option for syncing tasks from notes to task managers with minimal effort.
Yes! Depending on the OmniFocus support, TaskClone can automatically transfer task details, including:
• Due dates
• Labels/tags
• Priorities
• Collaborator/Assignee
See Supported Apps for features supported.
Yes! TaskClone provides precise control including:
• Which notes to process
• Extracting all tasks, even newly added tasks
• Skipping tasks you don't want transferred
• Transferring each task to the specific destination you designate
Yes, but for these apps, TaskClone uses the "email-in" capability of the task apps.See Supported Apps for details on OmniFocus.
No installations needed! TaskClone works via secure cloud-based integration. Once you connect your accounts, TaskClone receives notifications to automatically extract tasks without needing browser extensions, plugins, or manual intervention.
In most cases, syncing is almost instant—tasks usually appear in OmniFocus within seconds to a few minutes. TaskClone continuously receives change notifications, ensuring your task manager stays updated. For Notion, we don't receive change notifications so the process may take 5-10 minutes from those apps.
Currently, Google Docs only supports this feature in Google Work or School accounts
