1. Introduction to Pabbly Connect for Google Calendar Events

In this tutorial, we will learn how to use Pabbly Connect to automate the creation of tasks in Taskade from Google Calendar events. This integration allows you to streamline your workflow by automatically generating tasks based on scheduled events.

To start, access Pabbly Connect by visiting the Pabbly website. If you do not have an account, you can sign up for free, which will only take a couple of minutes. After logging in, you will be directed to the Pabbly Connect dashboard, where you can create new workflows.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

To create a new workflow, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button in Pabbly Connect. You will need to name your workflow, such as ‘Create Taskade Task from Google Calendar Events’. Additionally, select a folder to save your workflow, such as ‘Home’.

After naming your workflow, you will see two main sections: Trigger and Action. The Trigger section is where you will set up the event that will initiate the workflow. In this case, select Google Calendar as the trigger application, and choose ‘New Event’ as the trigger event.

• Click on ‘Connect’ to link your Google Calendar account with Pabbly Connect.
• Choose the calendar you want to use for the integration.

After setting up the trigger, verify that your connection is successful. You can now proceed to create a new event in Google Calendar to test the integration.

3. Testing the Google Calendar Trigger in Pabbly Connect

Now that you have set up the trigger in Pabbly Connect, it’s time to test it. Create a new event in Google Calendar by clicking on the ‘Create’ button. Fill in the event details, including the title, date, time, and description.

For this example, create an event titled ‘Test Event’ scheduled for December 7th, 12 PM to 1 PM, in the Indian Standard Time zone. Once the event is saved, go back to Pabbly Connect and click on the ‘Save and Test’ button to retrieve the event details.

• Ensure that the event details appear successfully in Pabbly Connect.
• If the response is not instant, wait a few minutes as it may take up to 10 minutes for the data to be retrieved.

This step confirms that your Google Calendar is properly connected to Pabbly Connect and is ready to send data to Taskade.

4. Formatting Dates for Taskade Tasks

Before creating a task in Taskade, you need to format the dates from the Google Calendar event. Use the Date and Time Format tool available in Pabbly Connect. Add an action step and select ‘Format Date’ as the action event.

Map the start date and end date from the Google Calendar response to ensure they are in the correct format for Taskade. Choose the appropriate date format, such as year-month-date, and click ‘Save’ and ‘Test’ to confirm the changes.

Repeat the same process for both the start and end dates to ensure they are formatted correctly. This is crucial since Taskade requires specific date formats to create tasks successfully.

5. Creating a Task in Taskade Using Pabbly Connect

With the dates formatted, you can now add another action step in Pabbly Connect. Search for Taskade as the action application and select ‘Create Task’ as the action event. Connect your Taskade account to Pabbly Connect by clicking on ‘Add New Connection’.

Fill in the required details such as Workspace ID, Folder ID, and Project ID. Map the necessary fields from the previous steps, including the description, start date, end date, and time zone. Click ‘Save’ and ‘Test’ to create the task.

Once the task is created, you can verify it by checking your Taskade project. You should see the new task with the details from your Google Calendar event, confirming that the integration works perfectly.
