After setting up the connection between Asana and Google Sheets, it is crucial to test your integration using Pabbly Connect. To do this, update a task in Asana and check if the changes appear in your Google Sheets. This step confirms that the automation is functioning as intended.

For instance, if you change the task name from ‘Create a social media planner for Mr. Demo’ to ‘Create a social media planner for clients’, this update should be captured in Pabbly Connect and reflected in your Google Sheets. Upon successful testing, you will see the updated task name in your Google Sheet, confirming that the integration is working correctly.

This successful automation means that now, whenever you update a task in Asana, it will automatically update in Google Sheets, ensuring you always have the most current information at hand.
