In this tutorial, we will explore how to use Pabbly Connect to automate the process of adding tasks from Google Tasks to Google Sheets. This integration allows you to streamline your workflow by automatically transferring task details into a spreadsheet.

To get started, you need to have a Pabbly Connect account. If you are a new user, you can sign up for free and receive 100 tasks each month. Once you have logged into your account, you are ready to create your integration workflow.

2. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

To begin the integration, we first need to set up the trigger in Pabbly Connect. The trigger application in this case will be Google Tasks, and the trigger event will be when a new task is created.

Follow these steps to set up the trigger:

• Log in to your Pabbly Connect account.
• Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button on the dashboard.
• Name your workflow, for example, ‘Add Task in Google Sheets from Google Tasks’.
• Select Google Tasks as your trigger application and choose ‘New Task’ as the trigger event.

Now that the trigger is set, Pabbly Connect will listen for new tasks added to Google Tasks, allowing us to automate the next steps in our workflow.

3. Connecting Google Tasks to Pabbly Connect

After setting up the trigger, the next step involves connecting Google Tasks to Pabbly Connect. This connection is essential for capturing the task details that you want to transfer to Google Sheets.

Here’s how to connect Google Tasks:

• Click on the ‘Connect’ button in Pabbly Connect.
• Sign in with your Google account and grant the necessary permissions.
• Once connected, you will see a confirmation message indicating successful authorization.

With this connection established, Pabbly Connect can now retrieve task information from Google Tasks whenever a new task is created.

4. Setting Up the Action to Add Tasks in Google Sheets

Once the trigger is configured and Google Tasks is connected, the next step is to set up the action that will add the tasks to Google Sheets using Pabbly Connect. The action application in this case will be Google Sheets, and the action event will be ‘Add New Row’.

Follow these steps to set up the action:

Select Google Sheets as your action application. Choose ‘Add New Row’ as the action event. Connect Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect by signing in with your Google account.

After connecting, you will need to select the spreadsheet and the specific sheet where the task details will be added. Make sure to map the relevant fields like title, notes, and due date from the Google Tasks response to the appropriate columns in your Google Sheet.

5. Testing the Integration and Finalizing Setup

After setting up the action to add tasks in Google Sheets, it’s important to test the integration to ensure everything is working correctly. In Pabbly Connect, you can do this by clicking on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button.

Here’s what you should do:

Add a new task in Google Tasks. Go back to Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. Check your Google Sheet to see if the new task has been added.

Upon successful testing, you will see the new task reflected in your Google Sheet, confirming that the integration is complete and functioning as expected. Now, every time you add a task in Google Tasks, it will automatically appear in your Google Sheets, thanks to Pabbly Connect.
