Start by logging into your Pabbly Connect account. Once logged in, create a new workflow and set Google Tasks as your trigger application.

Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

To set up the trigger in Pabbly Connect, select Google Tasks as the application and choose the trigger event as ‘New Task’. After connecting your Google account, select the task list from which you want to fetch tasks. This is essential as it defines where Pabbly Connect will monitor for new tasks.

Once your trigger is set, you can test it to ensure it captures the latest task details. Create a new task in your Google Tasks application, and refresh Pabbly Connect to see if it retrieves the task information correctly. If done correctly, you should see the task details appear in Pabbly Connect.

• Select Google Tasks as the trigger application.
