1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To create Asana tasks from Google Sheets, start by accessing Pabbly Connect. You can do this by visiting the Pabbly Connect homepage at Pabbly.com/connect. Once there, you will see options to sign in or sign up for free.

If you are a new user, click on the ‘Sign Up for Free’ button. After creating your account, you will receive 100 free tasks each month to explore the features of Pabbly Connect for automation.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After signing in, navigate to the dashboard of Pabbly Connect. Here, you can find all your created workflows. To start a new workflow, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ option.

• Provide a name for the workflow, such as ‘Create Asana Task from Google Sheets’.
• Select a folder to save the workflow, if desired.
• Click on the ‘Create’ button to proceed.

Once the workflow is created, two windows will appear for setting up the trigger and action. This is where you will define how Pabbly Connect will automate the process between Google Sheets and Asana.

3. Setting Up Google Sheets as a Trigger

In this step, you will select Google Sheets as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Choose the trigger event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’ to ensure that every new entry in your Google Sheets will trigger the workflow.

Copy the provided webhook URL from Pabbly Connect and head to your Google Sheets. Go to ‘Extensions’, then ‘Add-ons’, and select ‘Get Add-ons’ to install the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on. Once installed, refresh your spreadsheet to see the Pabbly Connect options.

• Go to ‘Extensions’ > ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ > ‘Initial Setup’.
• Paste the webhook URL and set the trigger column (e.g., column D).
• Click on ‘Send Test’ to confirm the setup.

After sending the test data, you will see that the connection between Google Sheets and Pabbly Connect is successful, capturing the response data.

4. Integrating Asana as an Action

Now, you will set Asana as the action application in Pabbly Connect. Select the action event as ‘Create a Task’. Connect your Asana account by selecting an existing connection or creating a new one.

Once connected, specify the workspace and project where you want the task to be created. You can map the task details by selecting the corresponding fields from the previous step’s response, ensuring that the task name, description, and due date are dynamically populated based on the Google Sheets entries.

Map the task name from Google Sheets to Asana. Map the task description and due date accordingly. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to finalize the setup.

After testing, you should see that the task is successfully created in Asana, confirming that the integration is working as intended.

5. Finalizing the Integration and Testing

To ensure that your integration is fully functional, return to your Google Sheets and add a new row with the task details. Make sure to enter data up to the trigger column.

Once you add the new row, Pabbly Connect will automatically capture this data and create a corresponding task in Asana. Check your Asana account to see the newly created task reflecting the details from Google Sheets.

Add a new task in Google Sheets. Verify that the task appears in Asana within seconds. This confirms that the workflow is functioning correctly.

By following these steps, you have successfully set up an automation that allows you to create Asana tasks directly from Google Sheets using Pabbly Connect.

Conclusion

Integrating Google Sheets with Asana using Pabbly Connect streamlines your task management process. By automating task creation, you save time and reduce manual effort, ensuring that your projects run smoothly.
