2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

To set up the integration, you first need to create a workflow in Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located in the top right corner of the dashboard.

• Name your workflow, for example, ‘Create Notion Database Items from Google Tasks’.
• Select a folder for your workflow, such as ‘Automations’.
• Click the ‘Create’ button to finalize your workflow.

Once the workflow is created, you will see two main components: Trigger and Action. The Trigger is the event that starts the workflow, while the Action is what happens as a result.

3. Setting Up Google Tasks as a Trigger in Pabbly Connect

Now, you need to set Google Tasks as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Choose ‘Google Tasks’ from the list of applications.

Next, select the trigger event as ‘New Task’. This means that every time you create a new task in Google Tasks, Pabbly Connect will capture this event. To connect your Google Tasks account, click on ‘Connect Now’ and follow the prompts to authorize Pabbly Connect.

• Select your Google account and allow access.
• Choose the specific task list you want to monitor.

This setup ensures that Pabbly Connect will trigger whenever a new task is added to your specified Google Tasks list.

4. Setting Up Notion as an Action in Pabbly Connect

After configuring the trigger, the next step is to set Notion as the action application in Pabbly Connect. Select ‘Notion’ and choose the action event as ‘Create Database Item’.

To connect Notion, click on ‘Connect’ and authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Notion account. Select the database where you want new tasks to be created. This could be a dedicated database for Google Tasks.

Map the fields from Google Tasks to your Notion database. Ensure to include the task title, description, and due date in the mapping.

This mapping will allow Pabbly Connect to dynamically create new items in Notion based on the details from Google Tasks.

5. Testing the Integration Between Google Tasks and Notion

To ensure everything is set up correctly, it’s crucial to test the integration using Pabbly Connect. Create a new task in Google Tasks and check if it appears in your Notion database.

For example, add a task titled ‘Create a Magazine Layout’ with relevant details. After a few moments, refresh your Notion database to see if the task has been added. Remember that Google Tasks uses a polling mechanism, so it may take a few minutes for the new task to show up.

Check the Notion database for the new item. Verify that the task title, description, and due date match what you entered in Google Tasks.

If everything is working as expected, you have successfully set up an integration between Google Tasks and Notion using Pabbly Connect!
