Access Pabbly Connect to Create Freedcamp Task

To create a Freedcamp task using Airtable, start by accessing Pabbly Connect. This powerful automation platform allows you to seamlessly integrate various applications without the need for coding skills.

Visit the Pabbly website, navigate to the products section, and select Pabbly Connect. If you are a new user, click on ‘Sign Up for Free’ to create your account. Existing users can simply sign in. After logging in, you will be directed to the Pabbly Connect dashboard where you can create your workflow.

Create a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In the Pabbly Connect dashboard, click on the plus sign to create a new workflow. Name this workflow something like ‘Airtable to Freedcamp Integration’ to reflect its purpose. This naming convention helps you easily identify your workflows later. using Pabbly Connect

Once you’ve named your workflow, you will see a trigger window and an action window. The trigger is the event that starts the workflow, and in this case, it will be a new record created in Airtable. Select Airtable as the application and choose the trigger event as ‘New Record’.

• Click ‘Connect’ to establish a connection with Airtable.
• Add a new connection by providing your Airtable API key.
• Select the base and table from Airtable that you want to monitor for new records.

After configuring these settings, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure that the connection is working correctly. If successful, Pabbly Connect will capture the details of the new record.

Format Data Using Pabbly Connect

After capturing the new record from Airtable, you may need to format the data before sending it to Freedcamp. In this step, we will use the Pabbly Connect text formatter to split the assignee’s name and ID from Airtable.

Choose the text formatter application within Pabbly Connect and select the action event as ‘Split Text’. Map the text that contains the assignee’s name and ID, and set the separator to a dash. Then, select the last index as the segment index to extract the ID.

• Input the text containing the assignee’s name and ID.
• Define the separator as a dash to split the text correctly.
• Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify the output.

This step ensures that you have the correct ID needed for assigning tasks in Freedcamp.

Create Task in Freedcamp Using Pabbly Connect

Now that you have formatted the data, it is time to create a task in Freedcamp. Select Freedcamp as the application in Pabbly Connect and choose the action event as ‘Create Task’. Click ‘Connect’ and enter your Freedcamp API key to establish the connection. using Pabbly Connect

Once connected, you will need to select the project and task list within Freedcamp where the new task will be created. Map the task details such as title, description, priority, start date, and due date from the Airtable record you captured earlier.

Select the project name and task list from Freedcamp. Map the title and description from the Airtable record. Assign the task using the ID obtained from the text formatter step.

After mapping all the necessary details, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’. If successful, a new task will be created in your Freedcamp account.

Test the Integration in Real Time with Pabbly Connect

To ensure everything is functioning correctly, add a new record in your Airtable base. Fill in the required fields such as title, description, assigned person, start date, and end date. After saving the new record, check your Freedcamp account to see if the task has been created automatically.

Refresh your Freedcamp dashboard and verify that the new task appears with the correct details. This real-time testing confirms that the integration via Pabbly Connect is working as intended.

With this setup, every time you add a new record in Airtable, a corresponding task will automatically be created in Freedcamp, streamlining your workflow significantly.
