1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start the integration process, first, access Pabbly Connect by visiting its homepage. You can sign in or sign up for a free account, which gives you access to 100 tasks each month. This is essential for automating workflows between Google Sheets and ClickUp.

After signing in, you will see the dashboard of Pabbly Connect. Here, you will create a new workflow to connect Google Sheets with ClickUp. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to begin setting up your automation.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In the workflow creation dialog, name your workflow something descriptive like ‘Create ClickUp Task from Google Sheets Row.’ This name helps you identify the workflow later. You can also organize your workflows into folders for better management.

• Click on ‘Create’ to finalize your workflow setup.
• Understand the two principles of automation: Trigger and Action.
• Select Google Sheets as your trigger application.

Now, set the trigger event to ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row.’ This ensures that every time a new task detail is added to Google Sheets, Pabbly Connect will capture this event and initiate the workflow.

3. Connecting Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect

After setting up the trigger, Pabbly Connect will provide you with a webhook URL. Copy this URL, as it is crucial for linking Google Sheets to your Pabbly Connect workflow.

In Google Sheets, go to the Extensions menu, select Add-ons, and then search for ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ to install the add-on. After installation, refresh the Google Sheets page to access the new functionalities.

• Select ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ from Extensions.
• Choose ‘Initial Setup’ and paste the copied webhook URL.
• Set the trigger column to the last data column, usually D.

After submitting the webhook setup, click on the ‘Send Test’ button to verify the connection. This test will confirm that the data from Google Sheets is successfully reaching Pabbly Connect.

4. Creating ClickUp Tasks from Google Sheets Data

Now that Google Sheets is connected to Pabbly Connect, it’s time to set up the action step to create a task in ClickUp. Select ClickUp as your action application and choose the action event as ‘Create a Task.’ This will automate the task creation process.

To connect ClickUp to Pabbly Connect, you need your ClickUp API token. Log in to ClickUp, navigate to settings, and copy the API token from the Apps section. Paste this token back into Pabbly Connect to establish the connection.

Select your workspace, space, folder, and list in ClickUp. Map the task name and description from the Google Sheets data. Set the priority and due date for the task in ClickUp.

After mapping all necessary fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to create a task in ClickUp. Verify that the task appears as expected in your ClickUp account.

5. Testing and Finalizing the Automation

To ensure everything is working correctly, add a new task detail in your Google Sheets. For example, input a task name, description, due date, and priority. Once you save this new row, Pabbly Connect should automatically trigger the workflow.

Check your ClickUp account to see if the new task has been created successfully. This real-time test confirms that the integration between Google Sheets and ClickUp via Pabbly Connect is functioning as intended.

By automating this task creation process, you save time and ensure that no tasks are missed. This setup not only streamlines your workflow but also enhances productivity across your team.
