Transfer Google Tasks to Google Reminders

Question

I have a couple of Tasks in the old-style Google Tasks "Calendar". I'd like to transfer them to (and start using) the new "Reminders" feature.

Is there a way for me to do that without cutting and pasting from one to the other?

Answer 1

At this time the Google Apps (Calendar, Gmail, Keep, Now ) don't have either a user interfaces' command or API's class for the new reminders to convert a Google task to a Google reminder.

An alternative could be the use of a user script¹ that use the Google Tasks API or Google Apps Script.

Notes:

• ¹ A user script is a code snippet that changes the look and feel or behaviour of a website through the web browser developer console, bookmarklets, or browser extensions like Greasemonkey, Tampermonkey.
