To Do List With Calendar Tasks and Google Docs

[Ephraim Bryski]

Hi, I'm new to AppScript (but comfortable with JavaScript), and I'm wondering if there's a simple way of creating a to-do list which links Google Calendars with Google Docs (of if it's already been done).

Here's the specifics of what I'm looking for:

I would make a Google Doc which servers as my to do list. Whenever I create a task on Google Calendar, it should add the task my doc as a checklist item. When I mark it as complete on the calendar it should mark it complete on the doc.

Ideally it should go the other way as well; if I add a check list item on the doc, it should also add it on the calendar, and if I check it off on the doc, it should mark it complete on the calendar. 

Would this be simple to create in AppScript, or is there something already like this? Thank you!

Doing all of that may be difficult. There is easy ways to go from Doc modifications to Calendar event creation/deletion, but from Calendar status back to Doc is not. There are no mechanisms to set a Trigger based off of Calendar events currently. So any actions you need to make would just be something outside poking at the events to see if they are still there, complete or not. Synchronization would be quite difficult unfortunately.

If anyone else has a means to doing this  would love to hear of it.

I looked around a bit more, and I found that Google Tasks does exactly what I'm looking for (I got the desktop extension for it so there's a nice interface). Thank you for the help, though, as I might have otherwise spent a lot of unneeded time trying to reinvent the wheel.
