1. Overview of Pabbly Connect for Asana and Google Sheets Integration

Pabbly Connect is an integration platform that allows you to automate tasks between different applications. In this tutorial, we will use Pabbly Connect to automatically add tasks from Asana to Google Sheets. This integration streamlines your project management process, ensuring that all task details are captured in real-time.

To get started, you need to have accounts for both Asana and Google Sheets. Once you have your accounts ready, you can sign up for a free account on Pabbly Connect if you haven’t already. This will allow you to create workflows that connect these applications seamlessly.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

To create a workflow in Pabbly Connect, log in to your account and navigate to the dashboard. Click on the blue button labeled ‘Create Workflow’ to begin the process. You will be prompted to name your workflow; for instance, you could name it ‘Asana to Google Sheets Integration’.

After naming your workflow, you will see two boxes labeled Trigger and Action. The Trigger is the event that starts the automation, while the Action is what happens as a result. In our case, the Trigger will be a new task created in Asana, and the Action will be adding that task to Google Sheets.

• Log in to Pabbly Connect.
• Click on ‘Create Workflow’.
• Name your workflow.

Now that you have set up the initial workflow, you can proceed to connect Asana as the Trigger application.

3. Connecting Asana to Pabbly Connect

In this section, we will connect Asana to Pabbly Connect. Select Asana as your Trigger application and choose the event labeled ‘New Task in Project’. This will ensure that whenever a new task is created in Asana, it triggers the workflow.

Next, click on ‘Connect’ and then ‘Add New Connection’. You will be prompted to log in to your Asana account. Once logged in, authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Asana account. After successful authorization, you will see a list of your Asana projects. Choose the project where you want to track tasks.

• Select ‘New Task in Project’ as the event.
• Log in and authorize Pabbly Connect to access Asana.
• Choose the relevant Asana project.

After selecting your project, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will wait for a new task to be created in Asana to capture its details for the next steps.

4. Creating a Task in Asana for Testing

Now that Pabbly Connect is set up to listen for new tasks in your Asana project, you need to create a test task. Go to your Asana dashboard, and click on the ‘Add Task’ button. Fill in the task details such as the task name, due date, assignee, and description.

Once you have filled in the details, click on the ‘Close’ button to save the task. Return to Pabbly Connect, and you should see the task details captured in the test request response. This confirms that the connection between Asana and Pabbly Connect is successful.

Create a new task in Asana. Fill in the task details. Click ‘Close’ to save the task.

After saving the task, you can check the response in Pabbly Connect to verify that the task details are correctly captured and ready for the next steps.

5. Adding Asana Task Details to Google Sheets

With the task successfully created in Asana, it’s time to connect Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect. After capturing the task details, click on the plus icon to add a new action step. Select Google Sheets as your Action application and choose the event ‘Add a New Row’.

Next, authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Google Sheets account. Choose the relevant spreadsheet and sheet where you want the task details to be added. You will see the columns of your selected sheet appear in Pabbly Connect. Now, map the task details captured from Asana to the corresponding columns in Google Sheets.

Select Google Sheets as the Action application. Choose ‘Add a New Row’ as the event. Map Asana task details to Google Sheets columns.

Finally, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to add the task details to your Google Sheets. You can then check your Google Sheets to confirm that the task has been added successfully. This completes the integration process using Pabbly Connect.
