1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Integration

To create Asana tasks from Todoist tasks, the first step is to set up Pabbly Connect. Access the Pabbly Connect website and either sign in or create a new account. If you’re a new user, you can sign up for free and receive 100 free tasks to explore the software.

After logging in, navigate to the dashboard and click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow something like ‘Create Asana Task from Todoist Task Automatically’ and click on create. This sets the foundation for the integration process.

2. Configuring Todoist as the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will configure Todoist as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Select Todoist from the trigger application options and choose the event as ‘New Task’. This means that whenever a new task is created in Todoist, it will trigger the workflow.

Next, Pabbly Connect will provide you with a webhook URL. Copy this URL and follow the instructions to set it up in your Todoist account. Here are the steps to do that:

• Go to Todoist and create a new app by clicking on ‘Create a New App’.
• Name your app and click ‘Create App’.
• Generate a test token and paste the copied webhook URL in the designated field.
• Select ‘Item Added’ from the watched items and activate the webhook.

Once you have activated the webhook, return to Pabbly Connect where it will show that it is waiting for a response. This indicates that the trigger setup is complete.

3. Adding a New Task in Todoist

Now that the trigger is set up, the next step involves adding a new task in Todoist to test the integration with Pabbly Connect. Go to your Todoist account and click on the ‘Add Task’ button. Enter a task name, for example, ‘Team Discussion’, and add a description like ‘Important team meeting’.

Set the due date and priority for the task, then click on ‘Add Task’. After doing this, return to Pabbly Connect to check if the response has been received. You should see the details of the task you just created, including the task name, description, and project ID.

4. Setting Up Asana as the Action in Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will set up Asana as the action application in Pabbly Connect. Select Asana from the action application options and choose the event as ‘Create Task’. This means that whenever a new task is created in Todoist, a corresponding task will also be generated in Asana.

Click on ‘Connect’ to establish a connection with your Asana account. If you are already logged into Asana, the authorization will be successful automatically. Next, you will need to specify the workspace and project ID where the new task will be created.

• Select your workspace from the options provided.
• Choose the project ID for the task to be created.
• Map the task details from the previous step, ensuring that the task name, description, and due date are accurately transferred.

This mapping process is crucial as it allows Pabbly Connect to dynamically input the details from the Todoist task into the new Asana task.

5. Testing the Integration Between Todoist and Asana

After setting up the action in Asana, it’s time to test the integration using Pabbly Connect. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to send the task details to Asana. Once the test is successful, navigate to your Asana account to verify that the new task has been created.

In Asana, check the project you selected during the setup. You should see the new task named ‘Team Discussion’ with all the details you set in Todoist, including the description and due date. This confirms that the integration is working correctly.

In summary, you have successfully set up a workflow using Pabbly Connect to create Asana tasks automatically from Todoist tasks. This automation saves time and ensures that your task management is streamlined across both platforms.
