The integration will allow you to create new tasks, projects and subtasks in Worksection based on data from other systems. For example, you can transfer tasks from your website, landing page or Google Sheets to Worksection and process them in one place. So you can automate the process of processing tasks as efficiently as possible using the different services that you use, and save a lot of time.

Let's go through the entire Worksection setup steps together!

On the main screen, click on the gear icon to select the required update interval or setup scheduled launch. To start the connection by time, select scheduled start and specify the desired time for the connection update will be started, or add several options at once when you need the connection will be started.

Attention! In order for the scheduled run to work at the specified time, the interval between the current time and the specified time must be more than 5 minutes. For example, you select the time 12:10 and the current time is 12:08 - in this case, the automatic update of the connection will occur at 12:10 the next day. If you select the time 12:20 and the current time is 12:13 - the auto-update of the connection will work today and then every day at 12:20.

To make the current connection transmit data only after another connection, check the box "Update connection only after start other connection" and specify the connection after which the current connection will be started.
