How to Fix Errors While Integrating Google Tasks Update Upon Modification in Notion Using Node.js Code?

Help
81

I apologize for the inconvenience. To help you better, I’ll need more information about your workflow and the specific step that’s not updating Google Tasks. Can you provide the code you’re using for that step, or any error messages you’re encountering? This will help me identify the issue and provide a solution.

82

export default defineComponent({
async run({ steps, $ }) {
const tasks = steps.list_tasks.$return_value;
const updatedTasks = [];

**for** (**const** task **of** tasks) {
  _// Update the task with Completed set to true_
  task.completed = **true**;
  updatedTasks.push(task);
}

**return** updatedTasks;

},
});

83

I see that you’re trying to update Google Tasks by marking them as complete. However, the current code only modifies the local tasks array and does not send any update requests to the Google Tasks API. To update the tasks in Google Tasks, you’ll need to make API calls for each task. First, import the required package: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; Then, modify the loop in your code to make an API call for each task: for (const task of tasks) { // Update the task with Completed set to true task.completed = true; // Make an API call to update the task in Google Tasks await axios(this, { method: "PATCH", url: `https://www.googleapis.com/tasks/v1/lists/@default/tasks/${task.id}`, headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${this.google.$auth.oauth_access_token}`, }, data: { status: "completed", }, }); updatedTasks.push(task); } Make sure to replace this.google.$auth.oauth_access_token with the appropriate variable containing the Google OAuth access token. Here’s the complete updated code: ```
import { axios } from “@pipedream/platform”; export default defineComponent({ props: { google: { type: “app”, app: “google”, }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { const tasks = steps.list_tasks.$return_value; const updatedTasks = []; for (const task of tasks) { // Update the task with Completed set to true task.completed = true; // Make an API call to update the task in Google Tasks await axios(this, { method: “PATCH”, url: https://www.googleapis.com/tasks/v1/lists/@default/tasks/${task.id}, headers: { Authorization: Bearer ${this.google.$auth.oauth_access_token}, }, data: { status: “completed”, }, }); updatedTasks.push(task); } return updatedTasks; }, });

84

Would it be possible to merge the code to complete tasks with the other code in the previous step to update the tasks? Here’s that code:
import { axios } from “@pipedream/platform”;

export default defineComponent({
props: {
google_tasks: {
type: “app”,
app: “google_tasks”,
},
task_list_id: {
type: “string”,
label: “Task List ID”,
},
task_id: {
type: “string”,
label: “Task ID”,
},
notion_due_date: {
type: “string”,
label: “Notion Due Date”,
},
notion_page_url: {
type: “string”,
label: “Notion Page URL”,
},
},
async run({ steps, $ }) {
try {
const taskDueDate = new Date(this.notion_due_date);
if (isNaN(taskDueDate.getTime())) {
console.error(“Invalid date value”);
// Handle the case when the date value is invalid
} else {
const isoDueDate = taskDueDate.toISOString();
const response = await axios(this, {
method: “PATCH”,
url: https://tasks.googleapis.com/tasks/v1/lists/${**this**.task_list_id}/tasks/${**this**.task_id},
headers: {
Authorization: Bearer ${**this**.google_tasks.$auth.oauth_access_token},
“Content-Type”: “application/json”,
},
data: {
due: isoDueDate,
notes: this.notion_page_url,
},
});

    **return** response;
  }
} **catch** (error) {
  console.error("Error updating Google Task due date and notes:", error);
  _// You can decide how to handle the error, e.g., retry the request, send a notification, etc._
}

},
});

85

Yes, you can merge the code to complete tasks with the code to update tasks. Here’s the combined code: ```
import { axios } from “@pipedream/platform”; export default defineComponent({ props: { google_tasks: { type: “app”, app: “google_tasks”, }, task_list_id: { type: “string”, label: “Task List ID”, }, task_id: { type: “string”, label: “Task ID”, }, notion_due_date: { type: “string”, label: “Notion Due Date”, }, notion_page_url: { type: “string”, label: “Notion Page URL”, }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { try { const taskDueDate = new Date(this.notion_due_date); if (isNaN(taskDueDate.getTime())) { console.error(“Invalid date value”); // Handle the case when the date value is invalid } else { const isoDueDate = taskDueDate.toISOString(); const response = await axios(this, { method: “PATCH”, url: https://tasks.googleapis.com/tasks/v1/lists/${this.task_list_id}/tasks/${this.task_id}, headers: { Authorization: Bearer ${this.google_tasks.$auth.oauth_access_token}, “Content-Type”: “application/json”, }, data: { due: isoDueDate, notes: this.notion_page_url, status: “completed”, }, }); return response; } } catch (error) { console.error(“Error updating Google Task due date, notes, and completion status:”, error); // You can decide how to handle the error, e.g., retry the request, send a notification, etc. } }, });

I have a workflow that has a step to list my tasks in google tasks. The next step updates those tasks based on changes in a notion database. In that step, I need it to find the task ID for the different tasks. What path should I use from the results in list_tasks in order for it to look up the variable of the different task ids?

87

To access the task IDs from the results of the “List Tasks” action, you can follow these steps: 1. Add the “List Tasks” action from the Google Tasks app in your workflow. 2. Connect your Google Tasks account and select the Task List you want to list tasks from. 3. In the next step, you can access the tasks array using steps.<list_tasks_step_name>.data.items, where <list_tasks_step_name> is the name of the step where you listed the tasks. Here’s an example of how you can loop through the tasks and access their IDs: const tasks = steps.list_tasks_step.data.items; tasks.forEach((task) => { const taskId = task.id; console.log(`Task ID: ${taskId}`); // You can now use the taskId to update the tasks based on changes in the Notion database }); Replace list_tasks_step with the name of the step where you listed the tasks in your workflow.

88

Can you update the following code to match with what you just said?
import { axios } from “@pipedream/platform”;

export default defineComponent({
props: {
google_tasks: {
type: “app”,
app: “google_tasks”,
},
task_list_id: {
type: “string”,
label: “Task List ID”,
},
task_id: {
type: “string”,
label: “Task ID”,
},
notion_due_date: {
type: “string”,
label: “Notion Due Date”,
},
notion_page_url: {
type: “string”,
label: “Notion Page URL”,
},
},
async run({ steps, $ }) {
try {
const taskDueDate = new Date(this.notion_due_date);
if (isNaN(taskDueDate.getTime())) {
console.error(“Invalid date value”);
// Handle the case when the date value is invalid
} else {
const isoDueDate = taskDueDate.toISOString();
const response = await axios(this, {
method: “PATCH”,
url: https://tasks.googleapis.com/tasks/v1/lists/${**this**.task_list_id}/tasks/${**this**.task_id},
headers: {
Authorization: Bearer ${**this**.google_tasks.$auth.oauth_access_token},
“Content-Type”: “application/json”,
},
data: {
due: isoDueDate,
notes: this.notion_page_url,
status: “completed”,
},
});

    **return** response;
  }
} **catch** (error) {
  console.error(“Error updating Google Task due date, notes, and completion status:“, error);
  _// You can decide how to handle the error, e.g., retry the request, send a notification, etc._
}

},
});

I understand you want to update the Google Tasks based on changes in a Notion database. In your current code, you’re updating a single task with a given task ID. To update multiple tasks based on the results from the “List Tasks” step, you can modify the code like this: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default defineComponent({ props: { google_tasks: { type: "app", app: "google_tasks", }, task_list_id: { type: "string", label: "Task List ID", }, tasks: { type: "object[]", label: "Tasks", }, notion_due_date: { type: "string", label: "Notion Due Date", }, notion_page_url: { type: "string", label: "Notion Page URL", }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { try { const taskDueDate = new Date(this.notion_due_date); if (isNaN(taskDueDate.getTime())) { console.error("Invalid date value"); // Handle the case when the date value is invalid } else { const isoDueDate = taskDueDate.toISOString(); const updateTasksPromises = this.tasks.map(async (task) => { const taskId = task.id; await axios(this, { method: "PATCH", url: `https://tasks.googleapis.com/tasks/v1/lists/${this.task_list_id}/tasks/${taskId}`, headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${this.google_tasks.$auth.oauth_access_token}`, "Content-Type": "application/json", }, data: { due: isoDueDate, notes: this.notion_page_url, status: "completed", }, }); }); await Promise.all(updateTasksPromises); console.log("All tasks updated successfully"); } } catch (error) { console.error("Error updating Google Task due date, notes, and completion status:", error); // You can decide how to handle the error, e.g., retry the request, send a notification, etc. } }, }); Here, I’ve changed the task_id prop to tasks with a type of object[]. You should pass the tasks array from the “List Tasks” step to this prop.

90

When I tested the code, I got this error: Code Error unsupported array element type for prop tasks: object

91

I apologize for the confusion. It seems I made a mistake in the prop type for tasks. Instead of using object[], let’s use string[] and parse each task as a JSON object. Here’s the updated code: ```
import { axios } from “@pipedream/platform”; export default defineComponent({ props: { google_tasks: { type: “app”, app: “google_tasks”, }, task_list_id: { type: “string”, label: “Task List ID”, }, tasks: { type: “string[]”, label: “Tasks”, }, notion_due_date: { type: “string”, label: “Notion Due Date”, }, notion_page_url: { type: “string”, label: “Notion Page URL”, }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { try { const taskDueDate = new Date(this.notion_due_date); if (isNaN(taskDueDate.getTime())) { console.error(“Invalid date value”); // Handle the case when the date value is invalid } else { const isoDueDate = taskDueDate.toISOString(); const updateTasksPromises = this.tasks.map(async (taskStr) => { const task = JSON.parse(taskStr); const taskId = task.id; await axios(this, { method: “PATCH”, url: https://tasks.googleapis.com/tasks/v1/lists/${this.task_list_id}/tasks/${taskId}, headers: { Authorization: Bearer ${this.google_tasks.$auth.oauth_access_token}, “Content-Type”: “application/json”, }, data: { due: isoDueDate, notes: this.notion_page_url, status: “completed”, }, }); }); await Promise.all(updateTasksPromises); console.log(“All tasks updated successfully”); } } catch (error) { console.error(“Error updating Google Task due date, notes, and completion status:”, error); // You can decide how to handle the error, e.g., retry the request, send a notification, etc. } }, });

92

How do I “stringify each task object before passing it”?

93

To stringify each task object before passing it, you can use the JSON.stringify() method within a map() function. Here’s an example assuming you have an array of task objects called tasksArray: const stringifiedTasks = tasksArray.map(task => JSON.stringify(task)); Now, stringifiedTasks is an array of stringified task objects that you can pass to the updated component code.

94

This code
console.error(“Error updating Google Task due date, notes, and completion status:”, error);
// You can decide how to handle the error, e.g., retry the request, send a notification, etc.
}
},
});
Seems to constantly return this error:
Error updating Google Task due date, notes, and completion status: [SyntaxError: Unexpected token c in JSON at position 0]
What’s that error mean and how can I fix it?

95

I apologize for the confusion. The error you’re encountering, “Unexpected token c in JSON at position 0”, indicates that there’s an issue with parsing a JSON string. It’s likely that the input passed to JSON.parse() is not a valid JSON string. To help you further, please provide more context or the complete code snippet where this error is occurring. This will allow me to better understand the issue and provide a solution.

96

this is the code that I’m getting the error from: import { axios } from “@pipedream/platform”;

export default defineComponent({
props: {
google_tasks: {
type: “app”,
app: “google_tasks”,
},
task_list_id: {
type: “string”,
label: “Task List ID”,
},
tasks: {
type: “string[]”,
label: “Tasks”,
},
notion_due_date: {
type: “string”,
label: “Notion Due Date”,
},
notion_page_url: {
type: “string”,
label: “Notion Page URL”,
},
},
async run({ steps, $ }) {
try {
const taskDueDate = new Date(this.notion_due_date);
if (isNaN(taskDueDate.getTime())) {
console.error(“Invalid date value”);
// Handle the case when the date value is invalid
} else {
const isoDueDate = taskDueDate.toISOString();
const updateTasksPromises = this.tasks.map(async (taskStr) => {
const task = JSON.parse(taskStr);
const taskId = task.id;
await axios(this, {
method: “PATCH”,
url: https://tasks.googleapis.com/tasks/v1/lists/${**this**.task_list_id}/tasks/${taskId},
headers: {
Authorization: Bearer ${**this**.google_tasks.$auth.oauth_access_token},
“Content-Type”: “application/json”,
},
data: {
due: isoDueDate,
notes: this.notion_page_url,
status: “completed”,
},
});
});

    **await** Promise.all(updateTasksPromises);
97

I see that you’re trying to update Google Tasks with a new due date, notes, and completion status. The error “Unexpected token c in JSON at position 0” indicates that there might be an issue with the JSON parsing of the taskStr variable. To debug this issue, let’s log the taskStr before parsing it to see if it’s a valid JSON string. Add a console.log(taskStr) before the JSON.parse(taskStr) line: const updateTasksPromises = this.tasks.map(async (taskStr) => { console.log("Task string:", taskStr); const task = JSON.parse(taskStr); // Rest of the code }); Run the component again and check the logs for the “Task string” output. If the output is not a valid JSON string, you’ll need to investigate where the tasks array is coming from and ensure that it contains valid JSON strings. If you still encounter issues, please provide more information about how the tasks array is generated or populated, so I can help you further.

98

can you add that code to my above code so I can just cut and paste it?

99

Certainly! Here’s the updated code with the console.log(taskStr) added before parsing the taskStr: ```
import { axios } from “@pipedream/platform”; export default defineComponent({ props: { google_tasks: { type: “app”, app: “google_tasks”, }, task_list_id: { type: “string”, label: “Task List ID”, }, tasks: { type: “string[]”, label: “Tasks”, }, notion_due_date: { type: “string”, label: “Notion Due Date”, }, notion_page_url: { type: “string”, label: “Notion Page URL”, }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { try { const taskDueDate = new Date(this.notion_due_date); if (isNaN(taskDueDate.getTime())) { console.error(“Invalid date value”); // Handle the case when the date value is invalid } else { const isoDueDate = taskDueDate.toISOString(); const updateTasksPromises = this.tasks.map(async (taskStr) => { console.log(“Task string:”, taskStr); const task = JSON.parse(taskStr); const taskId = task.id; await axios(this, { method: “PATCH”, url: https://tasks.googleapis.com/tasks/v1/lists/${this.task_list_id}/tasks/${taskId}, headers: { Authorization: Bearer ${this.google_tasks.$auth.oauth_access_token}, “Content-Type”: “application/json”, }, data: { due: isoDueDate, notes: this.notion_page_url, status: “completed”, }, }); }); await Promise.all(updateTasksPromises); } } catch (error) { console.error(“Error updating Google Task due date, notes, and completion status:”, error); // You can decide how to handle the error, e.g., retry the request, send a notification, etc. } }, });

This was the log that came out: Task string: const stringifiedTasks = tasksArray.map(task => JSON.stringify(task));
