Why Can’t I See My Close Tasks in Google Calendar?
If you previously subscribed to your Close Tasks Calendar via Google Calendar, you may have noticed that your tasks are no longer syncing. This is because Close has sunset this feature due to security concerns. While discussions are ongoing about implementing a more secure solution in the future, you can use Zapier as a workaround to sync your Close Tasks with Google Calendar.
How to Sync Close Tasks with Google Calendar Using Zapier

Step 3: Set Up an Action to Create an Event in Google Calendar
- In the Action section, search for "Google Calendar."
- Select Create Detailed Event as the action event.
- Connect your Google Calendar account.
- Customize the event details:
- Summary: Use the task title from Close.
- Description: Add task notes or relevant details.
- Start & End Time: Set based on your preferences (e.g., due date in Close).
