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

To create a to-do list in Blue from Google Calendar events, you first need to set up Pabbly Connect. This integration platform allows you to automate the process of syncing tasks between these two applications. Start by logging into your Pabbly Connect account or create a free account if you are a new user.

Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard and click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. You will be prompted to name your workflow. Enter a name like ‘Create To-do in Blue from Google Calendar Events’ and select a folder for your automation. Click the ‘Create’ button to proceed.

2. Connecting Google Calendar to Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will connect Google Calendar with Pabbly Connect. You need to set a trigger event that occurs when a new task is created in Google Calendar. Select ‘Google Calendar’ as your application and choose the trigger event as ‘New Event’.

• Select ‘New Event’ as the trigger event.
• Click on the ‘Connect’ button to establish the connection.
• Choose an existing connection or add a new one.

After connecting, select the specific calendar you want to use. Once selected, you can create a new task in Google Calendar, and Pabbly Connect will fetch the details of the most recent task created. This ensures that your integration is working correctly.

3. Creating Tasks in Blue from Google Calendar Events

After setting up the trigger with Google Calendar, the next step is to create a task in Blue using Pabbly Connect. Select Blue as the action application and choose the action event ‘Create To-do’. Click on the ‘Connect’ button to set up the connection.

You will need to provide the following details to connect to Blue:

• Token ID
• Token Secret
• Company ID (found in your Blue account URL)

After entering the required information, click ‘Save’ to complete the connection. This allows Pabbly Connect to create tasks in Blue automatically whenever a new event is created in Google Calendar.

4. Mapping Data and Testing the Integration

Now that you have connected both applications, it’s time to map the data from Google Calendar to Blue using Pabbly Connect. You can map fields such as task title, start date, and due date from the Google Calendar event to the corresponding fields in Blue.

To do this, click on the mapping field and select the data from the dropdown that appears. This ensures that each task created in Blue will have the correct details from the Google Calendar event. Once you have mapped all necessary fields, click on the ‘Save’ button to test the integration.

Check the Blue application to confirm that the task has been created correctly. If everything is set up properly, you will see the new task reflecting the event details from Google Calendar. This shows that your integration with Pabbly Connect is functioning as expected.

5. Final Steps and Automation in Pabbly Connect

The final step in this process involves ensuring that your automation is set up correctly in Pabbly Connect. After testing, you can enable the workflow to automatically create tasks in Blue from Google Calendar events. Note that the trigger checks for new events every 10 minutes.

If you want new tasks to appear at the top of your to-do list in Blue, you can use the Number Formatter feature in Pabbly Connect. This allows you to adjust the task position to ensure it is created at the top of the list.

Simply add a new step for the Number Formatter before the Blue action, and use the formula provided in the Pabbly Connect interface to adjust the position. Once everything is set, save the workflow and sit back as Pabbly Connect automates your task creation seamlessly.

Conclusion

Using Pabbly Connect, you can efficiently automate the creation of tasks in Blue from Google Calendar events. This integration saves time and ensures that your project management is always up-to-date with the latest tasks.
