After setting up the trigger and action, it’s time to test the integration. Click on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button in Pabbly Connect. This will check if the new task is captured correctly from Microsoft To Do.

To test, create a new task in Microsoft To Do, such as ‘Social Media Marketing Idea Discussion’. Once the task is saved, return to Pabbly Connect and click the test button again. This action will verify if the task has been successfully retrieved.

  • Create a new task in Microsoft To Do.
  • Return to Pabbly Connect to test the connection.
  • Ensure that the task appears in the test results.
