Once you are signed in, navigate to the dashboard and click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow something like ‘Google Calendar to Asana’ and click ‘Create’ to begin setting up your integration.

Setting Up Google Calendar Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will set up the trigger for your workflow. Select Google Calendar as your application and choose the trigger event as ‘New Event’. This means that every time a new event is created in Google Calendar, it will trigger the workflow in Pabbly Connect.

After selecting the trigger event, click on ‘Connect’ to link your Google Calendar account. You will need to authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Google Calendar. Once authorized, select the specific calendar from which you want to capture events.

Adding Asana as an Action in Pabbly Connect

After setting up the Google Calendar trigger, the next step is to add Asana as the action application. In the action window, select Asana and choose the action event as ‘Create Task’. This action will create a new task in Asana every time a new event is added to Google Calendar.

Connect your Asana account to Pabbly Connect by clicking on ‘Connect’ and authorizing access. Once connected, you can map the relevant details from the Google Calendar event to the fields in Asana, such as task name, description, and due date.

• Map the event title from Google Calendar to the task name in Asana.
• Use the event description as the task description in Asana.
• Set the due date in Asana based on the event end date from Google Calendar.

Once all fields are mapped, click on ‘Save and send test request’ to ensure that the integration works correctly.

Testing the Integration

To test your integration, create a new event in Google Calendar. For example, schedule a meeting or an event with a specific date and time. After saving the event, return to Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Save and send test request’ again. This will check if the data from the new event is captured correctly.

If everything is set up correctly, you should see the event details reflected in Asana as a new task. You can verify this by checking your Asana account for the newly created task with the correct details.

Conclusion

Integrating Google Calendar with Asana using Pabbly Connect allows for seamless task management and event tracking. By following the steps outlined in this tutorial, you can automate your workflow and ensure that all your important events are reflected in your task management system.
