1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start integrating Now and Automation, first, access Pabbly Connect. This platform allows you to connect various applications seamlessly. Begin by logging into your Pabbly Connect account.

Once logged in, you will see a dashboard where you can create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and give it a descriptive name that reflects the integration you are setting up. This will help you manage your workflows efficiently.

2. Choosing Triggers and Actions in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will define the trigger and action using Pabbly Connect. The trigger will initiate the workflow, while the action will execute the desired task. For this integration, select ‘Now’ as your trigger application.

• Choose ‘Task Created’ as the trigger event.
• Set up the webhook URL that will receive data from Now.
• Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.

After setting up the trigger, you can now specify the action. Choose the application where you want to send the task details, such as Google Chat or Slack. This allows you to automate notifications to your team efficiently.

3. Configuring Webhooks in Now

Next, navigate to your Now account to configure the webhook. Access the settings and find the webhook section. Here, you will paste the webhook URL you copied from Pabbly Connect.

To create the webhook, click on ‘Add Webhook’. Provide a name for the webhook, such as ‘New Task Created’. Select the event that will trigger the webhook, which in this case is ‘Task Created’. This ensures that every time a new task is created, the webhook will send the data to Pabbly Connect.

4. Testing the Integration Through Pabbly Connect

Once you have set up the webhook in Now, it’s time to test the integration using Pabbly Connect. Create a new task in your Now account to trigger the webhook. Ensure that you fill in all necessary fields, such as task title and description.

After creating the task, return to Pabbly Connect and check for the response. You should see the details of the task captured in the workflow. This confirms that the integration is working correctly and that the data is being sent from Now to Pabbly Connect.

5. Automating Notifications to Teams

Now that your integration is set up, you can automate notifications to your team using Pabbly Connect. Depending on your preferences, select either Google Chat, Slack, or Microsoft Teams as your action application.

• Choose the appropriate action event, such as ‘Send Message’.
• Map the fields from the Now task to the message body.
• Test the action to ensure messages are sent correctly.

With these steps completed, your team will receive instant notifications whenever a new task is created in Now. This enhances collaboration and keeps everyone informed about important updates.
