1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Google Tasks and Google Sheets Integration

To start the integration process, access Pabbly Connect by signing into your account. If you are a new user, click on the ‘Sign up for free’ button to create an account. Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard by selecting ‘Access Now’ on the Pabbly Connect page.

Next, to create a new workflow, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located in the top right corner. Assign a name to your workflow, such as ‘Add Task in Google Sheets from Google Tasks,’ and choose a folder to save it in. For this tutorial, we will save it in the ‘Google Task’ folder.

2. Configuring Google Tasks as the Trigger Application

In this section, we will configure Google Tasks as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Click on the trigger window and select Google Tasks from the list of applications. The trigger event will be ‘New Task,’ which means this integration will activate whenever a new task is created.

Once the trigger event is set, you will need to establish a connection between Google Tasks and Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Connect’ button, and sign in with your Google account. After granting access, you will see a confirmation that the connection was successful.

3. Adding Google Sheets as the Action Application

Now that Google Tasks is configured, we will set up Google Sheets as the action application. In Pabbly Connect, search for Google Sheets and select it as your action application. The action event will be ‘Add New Row,’ which will add the task details into a new row in your Google Sheets whenever a new task is created in Google Tasks.

To connect Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Connect’ button again. Sign in with your Google account and allow access. After successful authentication, select the specific spreadsheet you created for this integration, named ‘Google Task,’ and choose the relevant sheet that contains the columns for title, notes, and due date.

• Select the spreadsheet named ‘Google Task’.
• Choose the sheet where the data will be added.
• Map the fields for title, notes, and due date from the previous step.

By mapping these fields, you ensure that every new task added in Google Tasks will dynamically populate the corresponding fields in Google Sheets, preventing static data issues.

4. Testing the Integration Workflow

After setting up the connections, it’s time to test the workflow. Click on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button in Pabbly Connect. This action will prompt the system to check for any new tasks added in Google Tasks. Since the trigger is polling based, it will check for updates every 10 minutes.

Once the test request is sent, return to Google Tasks and create a new task by clicking the plus button. Enter the task title, notes, and due date, then save the task. After 10 minutes, check Pabbly Connect for a response confirming the task has been captured successfully.

5. Verifying Results in Google Sheets

Finally, navigate to your Google Sheets document to verify that the task information has been added correctly. You should see the new row populated with the title, notes, and due date of the task you created in Google Tasks. This confirms that the integration between Google Tasks and Google Sheets via Pabbly Connect is functioning as intended.

Now, every time you add a new task in Google Tasks, it will automatically appear in Google Sheets, streamlining your task management process. This powerful integration allows you to manage tasks efficiently without manual data entry, showcasing the capabilities of Pabbly Connect.
