With the workflow configured, it’s time to test the integration between GitHub and Toggl Track using Pabbly Connect. Create a new issue in GitHub to check if it automatically creates a task in Toggl Track.

After submitting a new issue with a title and description, return to Toggl Track and refresh the page. You should see the new task created based on the GitHub issue title. This confirms that the integration is functioning correctly and automatically creating tasks in Toggl Track.
