2. Setting Up Trigger and Action in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will define your trigger and action applications within Pabbly Connect. The trigger application will be Google Calendar, and the action application will be Toggl Track. Select Google Calendar as your trigger application and choose ‘New Event’ as the trigger event.

• Select Google Calendar as the trigger application.
• Choose ‘New Event’ as the trigger event.
• Set Toggl Track as the action application.
• Select ‘Create New Task’ as the action event.

This setup ensures that whenever a new event is created in your Google Calendar, it will trigger an action in Toggl Track to create a corresponding task. Proceed to establish the connection between Google Calendar and Pabbly Connect by signing in to your Google account and authorizing the integration.

3. Creating a New Calendar Event

After setting up the trigger in Pabbly Connect, you need to create a new event in Google Calendar. This step is crucial as it will generate the data needed for the task creation in Toggl Track. For example, you might create an event titled ‘Social Media Marketing Workshop’.

To create the event, fill in the details such as the event title and description, then save it. This event will now be captured by Pabbly Connect as it polls for new data every 10 minutes. After saving the event, go back to Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to retrieve the details of the newly created event.

4. Mapping Task Details in Toggl Track

Once you have the event details from Google Calendar, the next step is to map these details into Toggl Track using Pabbly Connect. In the action window, select your Toggl Track workspace and the project where the task should be created. For instance, choose the ‘Social Media Project’.

Next, you will map the task name and description using the data received from the Google Calendar event. This is done by selecting the appropriate fields from the previous step’s response. Mapping ensures that the information is dynamic and will change based on the new events created.

• Select your workspace in Toggl Track.
• Choose the project for the task.
• Map the task name and description from Google Calendar.

After mapping the necessary fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to create the task in Toggl Track. You should receive a positive response indicating that the task has been successfully created.

5. Finalizing the Integration

With the task successfully created in Toggl Track, you have completed the integration using Pabbly Connect. Now, every time you create a new event in Google Calendar, a corresponding task will be automatically generated in Toggl Track. This automation saves time and ensures consistency across your workflow.

To verify, check your Toggl Track account under the selected project. You should see the newly created task with the details you provided. This integration not only streamlines your task management but also enhances productivity by automating repetitive tasks.
