After clicking on ‘Connect’, sign in to your account. If you do not have an account, you can create one for free in just two minutes. Once logged in, you can start setting up your integration workflow.

Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Now that you have accessed Pabbly Connect, the next step is to create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button at the top right corner. A dialog box will appear prompting you to name your workflow. Name it ‘YouTube to Todoist’.

After naming your workflow, click ‘Create’. This opens the trigger window where you will choose YouTube as the app to send data from. In the trigger event, select ‘New Video in Channel’, which will allow you to capture when a new video is uploaded to your YouTube channel.

• Select ‘YouTube’ as the app.
• Choose ‘New Video in Channel’ as the trigger event.
• Connect your YouTube account by selecting your Gmail account.

Once connected, allow Pabbly Connect to access your YouTube data. You will see a confirmation message indicating that the authorization was successful. After this, you can capture data related to the new video uploaded.

Setting Up Todoist Action in Pabbly Connect

With the YouTube trigger set, the next step is to define the action in Todoist, which will create a task automatically. Click on the plus button to add an action. Select ‘Todoist’ as the app and choose ‘Create Task’ as the action event.

To connect to Todoist, you will need an API token. Go to your Todoist account settings, find the API token under the integrations section, and copy it. Paste this token back into Pabbly Connect to establish the connection.

• Select ‘Todoist’ as the app in the action window.
• Choose ‘Create Task’ as the action event.
• Paste your Todoist API token to connect.

After saving the connection, you will see fields to map the data from YouTube to Todoist. Enter the content for the task using dynamic data from the YouTube video, such as the title and video URL.

Testing the Integration

Once you have set up the action in Todoist, it’s crucial to test the integration to ensure everything works smoothly. Click on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button in Pabbly Connect. This will send a test task to Todoist based on the video details captured from YouTube.

If successful, you will see the task created in your Todoist account. Check your Todoist app to verify that the task appears with the correct video title and URL. This confirms that Pabbly Connect is now effectively integrating YouTube and Todoist.

Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to create a task in Todoist. Verify the task appears in Todoist with the correct details. Ensure that the integration is functioning as expected.

Now that you have verified the integration, you can continue to upload videos to your YouTube channel, and Pabbly Connect will automatically create tasks in Todoist for each new video published.
