1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To start automating your tasks, access Pabbly Connect by visiting its homepage. Here, you can sign in or create a new account. If you’re a new user, click on the ‘Sign Up for Free’ button to create an account, which allows you to explore the tool with 100 free tasks monthly.

After signing in, navigate to the dashboard of Pabbly Connect. This is where you can manage your workflows. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ option to begin setting up your automation.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once you click on ‘Create Workflow’, a dialog box will appear asking for a name for your workflow. Enter a descriptive name, such as ‘Automate Task Management’. You can also select a folder to organize your workflow.

• Enter a descriptive name for your workflow.
• Choose a folder to save your workflow.
• Click on ‘Create’ to finalize the setup.

After saving, you will see two sections: Trigger and Action. The Trigger defines what event will start your workflow, while the Action defines what will happen in response. This is where Pabbly Connect excels, allowing you to automate tasks seamlessly between applications.

3. Setting Up Triggers in Pabbly Connect

To set up a trigger, select your trigger application, such as Simply or Todoist. Choose a trigger event, like ‘New Task’ or ‘Task Completed’. This event will initiate the workflow whenever it occurs.

• Select the trigger application (e.g., Simply).
• Choose the specific trigger event.
• Follow the instructions to connect your accounts.

After setting up the trigger, Pabbly Connect will provide a webhook URL. This URL will be used to connect your trigger application to the workflow. Follow the instructions to complete the integration, ensuring that you receive the necessary data to proceed.

4. Configuring Actions in Pabbly Connect

Next, you will configure the action that occurs when the trigger is activated. Select the action application, such as Google Sheets or Slack, and choose the action event, like ‘Create Task’ or ‘Send Message’. This action will execute based on the trigger you set up earlier.

Select the action application (e.g., Google Sheets). Choose the specific action event. Map the required fields using data from the trigger.

By mapping the fields, Pabbly Connect allows you to dynamically send data from your trigger to your action application, automating the process without manual intervention. Ensure that all required fields are filled out to complete the setup.

5. Testing and Activating Your Workflow

After configuring your trigger and action, it’s essential to test your workflow. Click on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button to verify that the integration works as expected. This will help you ensure that data flows correctly between your applications.

Once the test is successful, activate your workflow. Pabbly Connect will now automatically handle the tasks as per your setup, allowing you to focus on more critical aspects of your work while it manages the repetitive tasks for you.
