To start automating the creation of to-do lists in Blue from Google Calendar events, you need to access Pabbly Connect. First, sign up for a free account if you haven’t already. This process is quick and can be done in just two minutes.

Once logged in, navigate to the Pabbly Connect dashboard. Here, you will create a new workflow that connects Google Calendar with Blue. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to begin setting up your automation.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will create a workflow to automate the integration between Google Calendar and Blue using Pabbly Connect. After clicking on the ‘Create Workflow’ button, name your workflow something like ‘Create To-do in Blue from Google Calendar Events’.

• Select the main folder for your workflow.
• Click the ‘Create’ button to initiate the workflow.

You will see two sections labeled ‘Trigger’ and ‘Action’. The trigger will specify when the automation occurs, while the action defines what happens next. In this case, the trigger will be a new event in Google Calendar, and the action will be to create a to-do in Blue.

3. Connecting Google Calendar with Pabbly Connect

To connect Google Calendar as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect, select ‘Google Calendar’ from the list of applications. Choose the trigger event as ‘New Event’ which will activate whenever a new task is created in Google Calendar.

Click on the ‘Connect’ button, then select ‘Add a New Connection’. You will need to grant access to your Google Calendar account. Once connected, select the specific calendar you want to use, such as ‘P Team Cal’. This allows Pabbly Connect to fetch data from your Google Calendar.

4. Creating a To-do in Blue with Pabbly Connect

Now that Google Calendar is connected, you will set Blue as the action application in Pabbly Connect. Choose the action event as ‘Create a To-do’. Click on the ‘Connect’ button and select ‘Add a New Connection’.

• Provide your Token ID, Token Secret, and Company ID.
• Obtain these from your Blue account settings.

After entering the required details, click on ‘Save’. This will connect your Blue account with Pabbly Connect. You can now map the fields from the Google Calendar event to the corresponding fields in Blue, ensuring the correct information is transferred automatically.

5. Finalizing the Automation in Pabbly Connect

To finalize your automation, you need to ensure that the to-do created in Blue appears at the top of your list. Use the ‘Get Max To-do Position’ action in Pabbly Connect to fetch the current position of your to-do items.

After fetching the position, you can use the number formatter feature in Pabbly Connect to adjust the position of the new to-do. This will allow it to be created at the top of your to-do list. Once you have set this up, click ‘Save’ and test your automation.

Now, every time a new event is created in Google Calendar, a corresponding to-do will be automatically created in Blue, thanks to the powerful automation capabilities of Pabbly Connect. This integration streamlines your workflow and enhances productivity.

Conclusion

With the help of Pabbly Connect, you can effortlessly automate the creation of to-do lists in Blue from Google Calendar events. This integration saves time and enhances productivity by syncing tasks automatically.
