1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start creating Asana tasks from webhook responses, access Pabbly Connect by visiting its homepage. Here, you can sign in if you’re an existing user or click on ‘Sign Up for Free’ to create a new account. New users receive 100 free tasks every month to explore the platform.

After signing in, you will enter the dashboard of Pabbly Connect. Here, you can view all your workflows and create new ones. To create a new workflow, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button, which will prompt you to name your workflow.

2. Setting Up Webhook Automation in Pabbly Connect

In this section, we will set up a webhook automation using Pabbly Connect. First, after naming your workflow ‘Create Asana Task from Webhook Response’, you will be presented with two windows: trigger and action. Select ‘Webhook by Pabbly’ as your trigger application.

• Select ‘Webhook by Pabbly’ as the trigger application.
• Copy the provided webhook URL.
• Paste this URL into the application you are integrating, such as JotForm.

Once the URL is pasted, your integration setup is complete. You can now proceed to test the webhook by submitting a form in JotForm, which will capture the response in Pabbly Connect.

3. Testing the Webhook Response in Pabbly Connect

After setting up the webhook, it’s time to test the integration. Go back to your JotForm account and submit a test response. This response should include the necessary fields like task name, description, start date, and due date.

• Open your JotForm and fill in the test data.
• Submit the form to trigger the webhook.
• Check back in Pabbly Connect to see if the response was captured.

If successful, you will see the response data in Pabbly Connect, confirming that the webhook is working correctly. This step is crucial as it ensures that data is flowing from JotForm to Pabbly Connect.

4. Creating an Asana Task from Webhook Response

With the webhook tested, the next step is to create a task in Asana using the captured response. In the action section of Pabbly Connect, select Asana as your action application and choose ‘Create Task’ as the action event.

You will need to connect your Asana account to Pabbly Connect. If you have an existing connection, select it; otherwise, you can create a new connection. After connecting, you will be prompted to select the workspace and project ID in Asana where the task will be created.

5. Mapping Data to Create Asana Task

Now that you have connected Asana, it’s time to map the data from the webhook response to the fields in Asana. This involves taking the task name, description, and due date from the webhook response and inserting them into the corresponding fields in Asana.

Ensure that you map the task name and description correctly. For the due date, use the format year-month-date, ensuring it aligns with Asana’s requirements. After mapping the data, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to create the task in Asana.

If the task is created successfully, you should see it in your Asana project. This confirms that the integration between Pabbly Connect and Asana is functioning as expected, allowing you to automate task creation seamlessly.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we explored how to create Asana tasks from webhook responses using Pabbly Connect. By following the steps outlined, you can automate your workflow, ensuring that tasks are created efficiently from various applications.
