1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Todoist Integration

To begin with, Pabbly Connect serves as the central platform for integrating Todoist with other applications. You will first need to access your Pabbly Connect account and create a new workflow. This workflow will enable you to set up a webhook that connects Todoist to various applications seamlessly.

Once you are logged into Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. You will be prompted to name your workflow. For this integration, you can name it ‘Todoist Webhook Setup’. After naming it, click on the ‘Create’ button to proceed with the integration.

2. Configuring the Todoist Trigger in Pabbly Connect

The next step involves configuring the Todoist trigger in Pabbly Connect. In the trigger section, select Todoist as your application. You will then need to choose the trigger event; select ‘New Task’ to initiate the workflow whenever a new task is created in Todoist.

• Select Todoist as the application.
• Choose ‘New Task’ as the trigger event.
• Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.

After selecting the trigger event, a webhook URL will be generated. This URL acts as a bridge between Todoist and Pabbly Connect, allowing data transfer when a new task is created. Ensure you copy this URL for later use in the Todoist app.

3. Creating an App in Todoist for Webhook Setup

Now, you need to create a new app in Todoist to set up the webhook. Log into your Todoist account and navigate to the App Management console. Click on the ‘Create a New App’ button and provide a name for your app, such as ‘Todoist Webhook’. This will help identify the app later on.

Once the app is created, you will receive a Client ID and Client Secret. Scroll down to find the ‘Create Test Token’ button and click it to generate a test token. This token will be used to authenticate the connection between Todoist and Pabbly Connect.

4. Configuring the Webhook in Todoist

With the test token generated, it’s time to configure the webhook in Todoist. In the webhook section, paste the webhook URL you copied from Pabbly Connect. You will also need to select the event you want to watch for; in this case, select ‘Item Added’ to trigger the webhook whenever a new task is added.

• Paste the webhook URL in the callback URL field.
• Select ‘Item Added’ as the watch event.
• Activate the webhook and save the configuration.

After saving the webhook configuration, your Todoist will now send data to Pabbly Connect whenever a new task is created. Make sure to test the connection by creating a task in Todoist to verify that it works correctly.

5. Testing the Webhook Connection

To ensure that the integration is working smoothly, you need to test the webhook connection. Create a new task in Todoist with a name and description. For example, name it ‘Urgent Team Discussion’ and provide a description like ‘Budget planning for upcoming month’. Set a due date and priority, then click on ‘Add Task’.

After creating the task, return to Pabbly Connect and wait for a few seconds. You should see a response indicating that the task details have been successfully received. This response will include all relevant information about the task, confirming that the integration is functioning as intended.

Conclusion

In conclusion, setting up a webhook inside Todoist using Pabbly Connect allows for seamless integration with various applications. By following the steps outlined, you can automate task management and ensure efficient collaboration across your team. This integration enhances productivity and simplifies task tracking.
