1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Google Tasks and Airtable Integration

To start adding Google Tasks to Airtable automatically, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. Open your browser and type in the URL: Pabbly.com/connect. This will direct you to the Pabbly Connect dashboard, where you can create your workflows.

If you already have an account, simply sign in. If not, you can sign up for free, which includes 100 free tasks every month to practice your automation. Once logged in, you will see the option to create a new workflow.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After signing into Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to set up your automation. You will be prompted to name your workflow. For this integration, name it ‘Google Tasks to Airtable’. Click on the ‘Create’ button to proceed.

In the workflow setup, you will notice two sections: Trigger and Action. The Trigger section is where the event starts, which in this case is a new task created in Google Tasks. The Action section will execute the task in Airtable. Let’s set up the Trigger first.

3. Setting Up Google Tasks as the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In the Trigger section, select Google Tasks as your app. Choose the event ‘New Task’ to trigger the workflow whenever a new task is created. Next, click on ‘Add New Connection’ and authenticate your Google account to connect it with Pabbly Connect.

Once connected, you can test the connection by creating a new task in Google Tasks. After creating a new task, return to Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will pull the latest task details into your workflow.

• Select Google Tasks as your app.
• Choose ‘New Task’ as the event.
• Authenticate your Google account.
• Test the connection by creating a new task.

After testing, you should see the task information, confirming that the Trigger is working correctly.

4. Configuring Airtable as the Action in Pabbly Connect

Now, let’s set up Airtable in the Action section of Pabbly Connect. Select Airtable as your action app and choose the event ‘Create Record’. You will need to connect your Airtable account by providing the API key from your Airtable account settings.

Once connected, specify the Base ID and Table Name where you want to store the Google Tasks. For this tutorial, use the Base ID for your Google Tasks to Airtable integration and set the Table Name to ‘Google Tasks List’. Map the fields from Google Tasks to Airtable, including Task ID, Title, and Notes.

• Select ‘Create Record’ as the action event.
• Connect your Airtable account using the API key.
• Specify the Base ID and Table Name.
• Map fields from Google Tasks to Airtable.

After mapping the fields, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to send the data to Airtable. You should see a new record created in your Airtable base.

5. Testing the Automation and Finalizing the Workflow

Now that you have set up both the Trigger and Action in Pabbly Connect, it’s time to test the entire automation. Create another task in Google Tasks and check your Airtable base to see if the new record appears. Remember that the polling trigger may take a few seconds to a couple of minutes to reflect the new data in Airtable.

Once you confirm that the new task appears in your Airtable, your automation is successfully set up! You can now manage Google Tasks directly from Airtable, streamlining your workflow.

This integration showcases how Pabbly Connect can automate your task management processes, ensuring you never miss an update from your team again.

Conclusion

Using Pabbly Connect to integrate Google Tasks with Airtable allows for seamless task management. By following the steps outlined, you can automate the process of adding tasks, ensuring efficiency in your workflow.
