Task Sync

Operate and troubleshoot bidirectional task sync between TickTick and Google Tasks.

Run

python {baseDir}/sync.py

Setup Checklist

1. Python 3.10+ with: google-auth google-auth-oauthlib google-api-python-client requests
2. Enable Google Tasks API and run:

```bash

python {baseDir}/scripts/setup_google_tasks.py

```

1. Create TickTick developer app and run:

```bash

python {baseDir}/scripts/setup_ticktick.py

```

1. Configure {baseDir}/config.json token and data paths.

Expected Behavior

• Sync Google Task Lists <-> TickTick Projects by same name.
• Sync task title, completion status, and notes/content bidirectionally.
• Map TickTick priority to Google title prefix: [★] high, [!] medium.
• Export TickTick smart lists (Today, Next 7 Days, All) to Google Tasks one-way.

Due-Date Rule (Calendar Duplicates)

• Keep due dates only in the "All" smart list.
• For other synced lists, forward date to TickTick then clear Google due date.
• Treat this as the source-of-truth rule when debugging duplicate Calendar items.

Automation

# Cron: every 10 minutes
*/10 * * * * /path/to/python {baseDir}/sync.py >> /path/to/sync.log 2>&1

Use OpenClaw cron if available.

Troubleshooting Workflow

1. Re-run both OAuth setup scripts if auth errors appear.
2. Verify config.json paths point to existing token files.
3. Run python {baseDir}/sync.py and inspect sync_log.json and sync_db.json.
4. Check API wrappers:
• {baseDir}/utils/google_api.py
• {baseDir}/utils/ticktick_api.py
