Within Teamwork Projects, you can add tasks to your projects directly from Google Sheets using the Projects add-on.

The add-on can be installed directly from the G Suite Marketplace. Once you click install, you can select and authorize which Google account you want to use to install the add-on.

You will then see Teamwork Projects listed as an option in the Add-ons dropdown when you have a document open in Google Sheets.


You can also set up the add-on from within a Google Sheet. When you have a document open, click Add-ons in the horizontal menu bar and select Get add-ons from the dropdown.


In the add-ons modal, use the search field in the top right to search for Teamwork Projects.

In the results, you will see the Teamwork Projects add-on. Click the + Free button to the right to get started.


You will be asked to select which Google account you want to use the add-on with.

Once you Allow in the permission access window, you will then see a new Teamwork Projects option in the Add-Ons dropdown.


Click the Add a task option to open the Projects modal on the right hand side of your sheet. Here, you can either log into an existing Projects account, or sign up to create a new one.


Once you have entered your Projects credentials, you will also need to grant access permissions to your account for the add on.

To add a new task to your Projects site, select the Add a task option from the dropdown.
In the quickly add tasks modal, you can select a project to add the task(s) to. To add multiple tasks to the project, put each task on a new line.



Task Properties

You can use various commands to assign properties to the tasks, just like when posting tasks via email: 

  • (bugs) or [#bugs] - specify an existing task list to add the task to (task list name needs to match exactly).
  • @name - assign the task
  • [tomorrow] or [15/09/2019] - set the due date
  • [start date][due date] e.g. [today][next monday] - set start and due dates
  • ! - low priority
  • !! - medium priority
  • !!! - high priority
  • #tag - add a tag to the task
Note: When setting a start date and due date, the system will automatically use the later date entered as the due date.
