1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Google Calendar and TickTick Integration

In this section, we will discuss how to set up Pabbly Connect to automate task creation in TickTick from Google Calendar events. First, navigate to the Pabbly Connect dashboard after signing up for an account. You will find a free sign-up link in the description box below.

To create an automation workflow, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow, for example, ‘Google Calendar to TickTick’, and select the appropriate folder in your Pabbly Connect account. Click ‘Create’ to proceed with the setup.

2. Configuring Google Calendar as the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this step, we will set up Google Calendar as the trigger in Pabbly Connect. Select Google Calendar from the app list and choose the trigger event as ‘New Event’. Click on ‘Connect’ and then select ‘Add New Connection’.

• Sign in using your Google account.
• Choose the specific calendar from which you want to capture events.
• Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to fetch the most recent event details.

After successfully connecting your Google Calendar, create a dummy event to test the integration. For instance, create an event titled ‘Developers Conference’ on February 22nd, and then click ‘Save’. Go back to Pabbly Connect and send the test request to retrieve the event details.

3. Setting Up TickTick as the Action in Pabbly Connect

Now, we will configure TickTick as the action step in Pabbly Connect. Search for TickTick and select it as the app. Choose ‘Create Task’ as the action event. Click ‘Connect’ and then ‘Add New Connection’ to link your TickTick account.

• Allow permissions for Pabbly Connect to access your TickTick account.
• Enter the Project ID where you want to create the task.
• Map the task title and description using the responses from the Google Calendar trigger.

After mapping the necessary fields, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to create the task in TickTick. Verify that the task appears in your TickTick account with the correct details.

4. Formatting Dates and Times for TickTick Tasks

In this section, we will format the date and time correctly for the tasks created in TickTick using Pabbly Connect. To ensure the due date is in the correct format, we will use the DateTime Formatter feature in Pabbly Connect.

Click ‘Add Action Step’ and select ‘DateTime Formatter’. Choose ‘Format Date with Time Zone’ as the action event. Map the end date and time from the Google Calendar response, and set the original format to match the one provided by Google Calendar. Select UTC as the target time zone.

After formatting the date, you may need to split the date string to comply with TickTick’s required format. Use the Text Formatter feature in Pabbly Connect to achieve this. Map the formatted date and add the necessary suffix manually, then proceed to map it in the TickTick action step.
