Once logged in, navigate to the app section and select Pabbly Connect. From there, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. You will be prompted to name your workflow; for this integration, name it ‘Google Sheets to Todoist’. Click on ‘Create’ to move forward.

2. Setting Up Google Sheets Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In the workflow, you will see two windows: the trigger window and the action window. In the trigger window, select Google Sheets as the app. For the trigger event, choose ‘New Spreadsheet Row’. This setup will allow Pabbly Connect to listen for any new entries in your Google Sheet.

• Select Google Sheets from the app list.
• Choose ‘New Spreadsheet Row’ as the trigger event.
• Connect your Google account to Pabbly Connect.

After selecting the trigger, ensure that your Google Sheet is set up correctly with the necessary columns, such as ‘Name of the Event’ and ‘Due Date’. This structure will facilitate data transfer through Pabbly Connect.

3. Installing Pabbly Webhooks in Google Sheets

To allow Google Sheets to communicate with Pabbly Connect, you need to install the Pabbly Webhooks add-on. Go to the ‘Add-ons’ menu in Google Sheets, then select ‘Get Add-ons’. Search for ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ and install it.

After installation, refresh your Google Sheet to ensure the add-on is active. Then, return to the Add-ons menu, select Pabbly Connect Webhooks, and click on ‘Initial Setup’. Here, you will input the Webhook URL generated by Pabbly Connect and specify the trigger column, which should be the last column of data entry.

4. Creating Tasks in Todoist via Pabbly Connect

Once your Google Sheet is set up correctly and integrated with Pabbly Connect, it’s time to create tasks in Todoist. In the action window of your workflow, select Todoist as the app and choose ‘Create Task’ as the action event.

• Connect your Todoist account by entering your API token.
• Map the ‘Name of the Event’ from Google Sheets to the task content in Todoist.
• Set the due date and priority for the task as needed.

After mapping the fields, click on ‘Save’ to finalize the task creation. This will ensure that every new entry in your Google Sheet automatically creates a corresponding task in Todoist through Pabbly Connect.

5. Testing the Integration between Google Sheets and Todoist

After setting up the workflow, it’s crucial to test the integration. Go back to your Google Sheet and add a new row with the event name and due date. Once you fill in the trigger column, Pabbly Connect will detect this new entry and send the data to Todoist.

Check your Todoist account to confirm that the task has been created successfully. This integration demonstrates how Pabbly Connect allows for seamless automation between Google Sheets and Todoist, enhancing your productivity by eliminating manual task entry.
