Description

Just to clarify what I'm trying to achieve - I want to have kanban style board with different tasks and when I move them to "In progress" I would like to see those tasks in my Google Tasks or pretty much any app that would allow me to show it on my phone home screen. Nice to have - when marking task as done in Google Task or equivalent task in AppFlowy should be marked as "Done". I was able to achieve it in Notion using Zapier or make.com but it was a pain to set up and maintain.

Impact

automation between appflowy and third-party apps

Additional Context

No response

This automation can be made using platform specific APIs.
We can trigger the events, based on how user interacts with those tasks. If there is any change in the task status, it will automatically be updated in the third-party apps... How is this solution? Any opinion on this?

Here is the step-by-step guide which I generally see it would look like:

Add an event listener to the AppFlowy Kanban Board which can listen to the changes being made for the tasks.
When a task is updated, that listener should trigger the third-party apps to update there too.
Similar scenario can be done in the case of remove task event, etc.

Things to consider:

Too frequent updates can cause you more bill.
