Setting Up Todoist Integration in Pabbly Connect

Next, you will set up the action in Pabbly Connect for Todoist. Click on the plus button to add an action step. Choose Todoist as the app and select ‘Create Task’ as the action event. This action will create a new task in Todoist whenever a new card is added in Trello.

To connect Todoist, you will need to enter your Todoist API token, which can be found in your Todoist account settings under the Integrations section. Copy this token and paste it into Pabbly Connect, then click ‘Save’.

Testing the Integration Between Trello and Todoist

Now that you have set up the integration in Pabbly Connect, it’s time to test it by creating a new card in Trello. For example, create a card named ‘Mission Impossible’ in the designated list. Once you add the card, Pabbly Connect will capture the data and create a corresponding task in Todoist.

To verify the integration, check your Todoist account to see if the task ‘Mission Impossible’ has been added successfully. You can repeat this process by creating another card, such as ‘Vanilla Sky’, to ensure the integration is working consistently. Each new card in Trello should generate a task in Todoist automatically.

This seamless integration allows you to manage your tasks efficiently without manual entry. With Pabbly Connect, you can easily connect various applications and automate your workflows effortlessly.
