description	Create a Google Task via the IFTTT JSON webhook

Create a Google Task by POSTing JSON to the IFTTT Maker webhook.

Webhook

https://maker.ifttt.com/trigger/task/json/with/key/{IFTTT_MAKER_TASK_KEY}

Replace {IFTTT_MAKER_TASK_KEY} with the real key before calling the URL. Never commit or hardcode the key in the skill or repo.

Key resolution

1. Read $env:IFTTT_MAKER_TASK_KEY (PowerShell) or $IFTTT_MAKER_TASK_KEY.
2. If unset, ask the user for the key and use it only for this request.

Payload

{
  "title": "Task title here - one line",
  "notes": "Optional detailed notes\nCan include line breaks",
  "due": "2026-07-25T23:59:59Z"
}

Field	Required	Notes
title	yes	Single-line task title
notes	no	Detail text; \n allowed for line breaks
due	no	ISO 8601 UTC datetime (e.g. ...T23:59:59Z)

Omit optional fields when unused. Do not send empty strings for them.

How to call

Use PowerShell. Example with all fields:

$key = $env:IFTTT_MAKER_TASK_KEY
if (-not $key) { throw "IFTTT_MAKER_TASK_KEY is not set" }

$body = @{
  title = "Task title here - one line"
  notes = "Optional detailed notes`nCan include line breaks"
  due   = "2026-07-25T23:59:59Z"
} | ConvertTo-Json

Invoke-RestMethod `
  -Method Post `
  -Uri "https://maker.ifttt.com/trigger/task/json/with/key/$key" `
  -ContentType "application/json" `
  -Body $body

Title only:

$body = @{ title = "Buy milk" } | ConvertTo-Json
Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post -Uri "https://maker.ifttt.com/trigger/task/json/with/key/$key" -ContentType "application/json" -Body $body

When to use

• User asks to create, add, or schedule a Google Task / todo
• User wants something tracked in Google Tasks

Rules

• Confirm title (and notes / due if relevant) when the user request is ambiguous
• Prefer ISO 8601 UTC for due; if the user gives a local date/time, convert and state the value used
• Report success or the error response briefly after the request
• Do not log or echo the full webhook URL with the key embedded
