1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To create Google Tasks from Google Sheets, start by accessing Pabbly Connect. This platform enables seamless integration between various applications, including Google Sheets and Google Tasks.

Open your web browser and navigate to the Pabbly Connect website. You’ll have options to either sign in or sign up for a free account. Signing up is quick, requiring just a couple of minutes. Once logged in, you will be directed to the Pabbly Connect dashboard where you can create workflows.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After accessing Pabbly Connect, the next step is to create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to begin. You will need to name your workflow, for instance, ‘Create Google Task from Google Sheets’ and choose a folder to save it.

• Click on the ‘Create’ button after naming your workflow.
• This will lead you to a window with two main sections: Trigger and Action.

In this window, you will set up the Trigger first. Select Google Sheets as your Trigger application and choose the event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. This event will initiate the workflow whenever a new row is added or updated in your Google Sheet.

3. Connecting Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect

To connect Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect, you will need to use a specific webhook URL provided by Pabbly. Copy this URL and head to your Google Sheets.

In Google Sheets, go to Extensions, then Add-ons, and select ‘Get Add-ons’. Search for the Pabbly Connect Webhook add-on and install it. Once installed, return to Extensions, navigate to Pabbly Connect Webhook, and select ‘Initial Setup’. Here, paste the copied webhook URL and set the Trigger Column, which will be the final data column to trigger the workflow.

4. Setting Up Google Tasks as Action in Pabbly Connect

After configuring Google Sheets, it’s time to set up the Action in Pabbly Connect. Choose Google Tasks as your Action application and select the action event as ‘Create Task’. This action will create a new task in Google Tasks based on the data received from Google Sheets.

To connect Google Tasks, click on ‘Connect’ and add a new connection by signing in with your Google account. Once connected, you will need to fill in the details for the task, such as Task Title, Notes, and Due Date, using the mapping feature to pull data from the Google Sheets trigger.

• Select the task list from your Google Tasks account.
• Map the Task Title, Notes, and Due Date from the previous step.

Ensure that the Due Date is in the correct format, including time if necessary. Once all details are mapped, click on the ‘Save & Test’ button to create the task.

5. Verifying Task Creation in Google Tasks

After setting up the workflow, it is crucial to verify that the integration works correctly. Go back to your Google Tasks and refresh the page. You should see the newly created task based on the details entered in Google Sheets.

This confirms that the workflow is functioning as expected. Each time you add a new row in Google Sheets, a corresponding task will be created automatically in Google Tasks through Pabbly Connect.

This integration not only streamlines your task management but also saves time and effort in maintaining your to-do lists effectively.
