Introduction to Pabbly Connect for Todoist and Google Integration

Pabbly Connect is an integration platform that allows users to automate workflows between different applications. In this tutorial, we will use Pabbly Connect to export new tasks from Todoist to Google Sheets. This integration enables users to automatically add Todoist tasks to a Google Sheet without manual data entry.

To start, you will need to sign up for a free account on the Pabbly Connect website. Once signed up, you can easily access the platform and begin creating your workflow to connect Todoist and Google Sheets. Let’s dive into the steps needed to set up this integration.

Creating Your Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After logging into your Pabbly Connect account, you will need to create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located at the top right corner of the dashboard. A dialog box will prompt you to name your workflow; for this example, we will name it ‘Todoist to Google Sheets.’ This will help you identify the workflow later. using Pabbly Connect

Once you have named your workflow, you will see two windows: the Trigger window and the Action window. In the Trigger window, select Todoist as the application and choose ‘New Task’ as the trigger event. This setup will ensure that every time a new task is created in Todoist, it will trigger the workflow to send data to Google Sheets.

Setting Up Todoist in Pabbly Connect

To connect Todoist to Pabbly Connect, you will need to log in to your Todoist account and create a new app in the App Management Console. After creating your app, you will receive a webhook URL from Pabbly Connect. Copy this URL and paste it into the appropriate field in Todoist to activate the webhook.

Next, you will need to create a test task in Todoist to ensure that the connection works. For example, create a task called ‘Upgrade Macintosh’ with a due date. After saving the task, check if the details appear in Pabbly Connect. This confirms that the integration is working correctly.

Connecting Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect

Now, it’s time to set up Google Sheets as the action in your workflow. In the Action window of Pabbly Connect, select Google Sheets and choose the action event as ‘Add Row.’ This action will allow Pabbly Connect to add a new row to your Google Sheet whenever a new task is created in Todoist.

After selecting Google Sheets, you will need to connect your Google account. Authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Google Sheets. Once authorized, select the spreadsheet where you want to store your Todoist tasks. Make sure to set up the columns in your Google Sheet to match the data you want to send, such as Task Name, Creation Date, Due Date, and Task ID.

• Task Name: The name of the task created in Todoist.
• Creation Date: The date when the task was created.
• Due Date: The due date of the task.
• Task ID: Unique identifier of the task.

After setting up the columns, map the corresponding fields from Todoist to Google Sheets. Finally, save the workflow, and you are now ready to test the integration!

Testing the Integration with Pabbly Connect

To test the integration, create a new task in Todoist. For example, create a task named ‘Upgrade Windows 10’ with a due date of July 28th. Once you add this task, Pabbly Connect will automatically capture the task details and send them to Google Sheets.

Check your Google Sheet to confirm that the new task has been added correctly. You should see the task name, creation date, due date, and task ID populated in the respective columns. This confirms that the integration between Todoist and Google Sheets via Pabbly Connect is successful and functioning as intended.

Conclusion

In conclusion, using Pabbly Connect to export new Todoist tasks to Google Sheets is a seamless process that automates data entry. By following the steps outlined in this tutorial, you can efficiently manage your tasks without manual intervention, enhancing productivity and organization.
