• Click on the ‘Create’ button to initiate the workflow setup.

By doing this, you set up the foundation for your automation process using Pabbly Connect. This allows you to create tasks automatically when an event is added to Google Calendar.

3. Setting Up the Trigger with Google Calendar

In this step, you need to select Google Calendar as your trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Choose the trigger event as ‘New Event’ since you want the automation to start whenever a new event is created.

Click on the ‘Connect Now’ button and select ‘Add New Connection’ to link your Google Calendar account. After logging in, grant the necessary permissions to Pabbly Connect to access your calendar. Once authorized, you can select the calendar where you want to monitor events.

• Select the calendar, for example, ‘Demo Events’.
• Click on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button to test the connection.

After creating a new event in Google Calendar, Pabbly Connect will capture the event details, ensuring that your workflow is ready for the next step.

4. Setting Up the Action with Microsoft To Do

Next, you need to configure the action in Pabbly Connect by selecting Microsoft To Do as the action application. Choose ‘Create Task’ as the action event, which will create a task in Microsoft To Do whenever a new event is detected in Google Calendar.

Just like before, click on ‘Connect’ and select ‘Add New Connection’ to link your Microsoft To Do account. Log in and authorize Pabbly Connect to access your tasks.

Select the task list where you want to create the new task. Map the task title and description from the Google Calendar event to the corresponding fields.

By mapping these fields, you ensure that the task title dynamically changes based on the new events created in Google Calendar. After completing the setup, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify that the task is created successfully in Microsoft To Do.

5. Verifying the Integration Between Google Calendar and Microsoft To Do

After setting up both the trigger and action, it’s crucial to verify that the integration works as intended. Create a new event in your selected Google Calendar and wait for Pabbly Connect to capture the event after its polling time.

Once the event is captured, check your Microsoft To Do account to see if the task has been created. You should find a task with the title and description matching your Google Calendar event.

This confirms that the integration is successful. Now, every new event on your Google Calendar will automatically create a task in Microsoft To Do.

With this successful setup, you can efficiently manage your tasks without manual input, thanks to Pabbly Connect.
