How this automation works

Organize your work automatically by creating MeisterTask tasks whenever a new Google Docs file appears in your folder. This Applet runs each time a document is added to the chosen Drive folder and sends its details to MeisterTask as a new task. Perfect for teams that track progress or assignments from shared Google Docs updates.
