Goodtask no longer seems to allow Hook to link tasks. While I read on the Hook website this compatibility did exist at one point, did something change? Is it something that can be re-enabled?
Thanks!

Welcome to the Hook Productivity Forum , @jtanzer14 . Thanks for asking.
Our Linkable Mac Apps – Hook page says
GoodTasks – Task Manager with iOS/Mac Reminders & Calendars. Supports linking of Reminders via x-callback-url.
Hook to Newand Calendar events linking not yet supported.
Last time we checked, GoodTask did not have an API to get the ID of calendar events.
According to your screenshot, you seem to have selected a calendar event.
Hi @LucB thank you for the response (and development of this app, which I love!). I think the view I shared was of the task page. Here is another that splits out Tasks from Calendar events - I am trying to hook the task.
Thanks @jtanzer14 .
The item in your screnshot shows a date/time range of Sat, April 9, 5:00 AM ~ Tomorrow, 12:00 PM. That suggests it is a calendar event, not a reminder…
Surprisingly, in the Today view (SetApp version of GoodTask) I also see some calendar events, and Hook does see their title, so that [unexpectedly] works in my test.
I wonder if the difference is the type of calendar… I’m not very familiar with GoodTask. Does it work with other calendar services beyond icloud? If so, might that be a relevant difference?
Can you please use Hook’s search tool to find a previous GT calendar event, open it, and then invoke Hook on it? I.e., is this affecting previously hooked items, or not?
BTW, Hook uses GoodTask’s x-callback-url. It’s a pretty simple integration script…
My testing today is with GoodTask 7.0 (983).
Hi @LucB thanks again for digging into this. The dates shown reflect the due date and a reminder date, it’s not a calendar event. I just created a task with no associated dates and it doesn’t seem to hook.
FWIW, I am on Monterrey, Goodtask Version 6.9.5 and Hook Version 3.4.3
I hate to recommend a sledgehammer, which you have probably tried, but just in case: relaunching each app, and possibly even macOS?
Or these tips if you haven’t tried them: No Linkable Item in … – Hook? Is it possible your permissions for the app were inadvertently changed. Before macOS 12, macOS occasionally had strange permission issues. Maybe those issues persist? I hope not.
