I'm looking for a way to add a reminder either through the Google Calendar app or the Google Inbox app using a task. I've searched for ways to do this but have not had any luck. Actually I would even be happy with being able to add a Google Calendar event using a task, but I still cannot find how to do this either. I would appreciate any help with getting one of these to work.

I'm not sure whether the recent "reminder" addition to the Google calendar has been added to Tasker yet. In any case there is a workaround in the form of creating an all-day event; here's an example tailored to my specific needs (change the name of the calendar, of course):

Calendar Reminder (10)
A1: Get Voice [ Title: Language Model:Free Form Language: Maximum Results:1 Timeout (Seconds):15 ]
A2: If [ %VOICE !Set ]
A3: Flash [ Text:No speech was recorded. Please check your microphone settings. Long:On ]
A4: Stop [ With Error:On Task: ]
A5: End If
A6: Variable Split [ Name:%TIME Splitter:. Delete Base:Off ]
<Calculate time until midnight>
A7: Variable Set [ Name:%timeInMin To:1440-((%TIME1*60)+%TIME2) Do Maths:On Append:Off ]
A8: Calendar Insert [ In / For (Minutes):%timeInMin/1440 Calendar:Google:mycal...@gmail.com Title:%VOICE Description: Location: Available:On All Day:On ]
A9: Flash [ Text:A to-do notice displaying the text "%VOICE" has been added to the calendar as an all-day visual reminder, starting at midnight. Long:On ]
A10: Flash [ Text:A to-do notice displaying the text "%VOICE" has been added to the calendar as an all-day visual reminder, starting at midnight. Long:On ]
