What it does

Each integration step this workflow runs, in order, what it is for, and the conditions and loops that decide when it runs.

  1. 1Google TasksList task listsFinds the Google Tasks list whose name matches the one you chose, and stops if no list has that name.
  2. 2Google TasksList tasksReads every task already in the list, completed ones included, so a change whose reference marker is there is not filed again.

How it works

What happens on each run, in plain English.

Once a day, each official page listed in your Google Sheet, a regulator's news page, a register or a bulletin, is fetched and read, and the AI lists the new or amended rules that page itself describes. Each change becomes one task in the Google Tasks list you name, so a rule change becomes work to tick off rather than a page you meant to check.

Each task is titled with the change and its reference, and its notes give the source, link, effective date and a plain summary of what the change alters. It never says whether a change applies to you, recommends what to do or draws a legal conclusion. A task gets a due date only when the source states an effective date; otherwise the notes say so rather than guessing one. Tasks already in your list, completed ones included, are checked first and any change already there is skipped, so nothing is filed twice.

Your sources sheet needs a 'Source Name' column and a 'Page URL' column, and the Google Tasks list has to exist already.
