1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for JIRA and Todoist Integration

To create JIRA issues in Todoist and receive reminder messages on Slack, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. Start by navigating to the Pabbly website and selecting the Pabbly Connect product. If you are a new user, click on the ‘Sign Up for Free’ button to create your account. This process takes just a few minutes, and you will receive 100 free tasks every month.

Once you have logged into your Pabbly Connect account, you can begin creating your workflow. Click on the plus sign to create a new workflow and name it appropriately, such as ‘Create JIRA Issues in Todoist and Receive Reminder Messages on Slack.’ This gives you a clear reference for what the workflow will accomplish.

2. Setting Up the Trigger for JIRA Issues

In this step, you will set up the trigger event in Pabbly Connect. Select JIRA as your application and choose the trigger event as ‘Configure Webhooks.’ This will generate a webhook URL that you will use in your JIRA settings. Make sure to copy this URL for later use.

• Go to your JIRA software account.
• Navigate to ‘Settings’ and select ‘Webhooks’ under the Advanced tab.
• Click on the plus sign to create a new webhook.

After creating the webhook, name it something relevant, like ‘JIRA to Slack Integration,’ and paste the copied webhook URL. Specify the events you want to trigger the webhook, such as when a new issue is created in a specific project. This ensures that only relevant issues will trigger the workflow in Pabbly Connect.

3. Filtering Assignees for Task Creation in Todoist

After setting up the trigger, the next step in Pabbly Connect is to filter the tasks based on the assignee. This ensures that the workflow only continues if the task is assigned to a specific team member. Use the filter application within Pabbly Connect and select the assignee name as the label.

For example, if the assignee name is equal to ‘Ashirai,’ the workflow will continue to the next action. This is crucial for ensuring that only relevant tasks trigger subsequent actions in your integration.

• Select the label for the filter as ‘Assignee Name’.
• Set the condition to check if the assignee name matches.

Once the filter is set, you can proceed to create a new task in Todoist using the details captured from the JIRA trigger. This is where the integration truly begins to streamline your workflow.

4. Creating Tasks in Todoist with Pabbly Connect

Now that the filter is established, you can create a new task in Todoist through Pabbly Connect. Select Todoist as the application and choose the action event as ‘Create Task.’ Connect your Todoist account using the API token found in your Todoist settings.

Map the details from the JIRA issue to the new Todoist task. For instance, set the task title to the JIRA issue summary and include the description. You can also specify the project ID where the task will be created in Todoist, ensuring it is organized correctly.

Map the task title from the JIRA issue. Include the JIRA issue description in the Todoist task. Select the appropriate project in Todoist for the task.

After mapping all necessary fields, send a test request to ensure that the task is created successfully in Todoist. This step verifies that your integration is functioning correctly before moving on to the reminder setup.

5. Setting Up Reminder Messages in Slack

Finally, you will set up the reminder messages in Slack using Pabbly Connect. Choose Slack as the application and select the action event as ‘Add Reminder.’ Connect your Slack account, ensuring you have the necessary permissions to send messages.

Map the task details from the previous action to the reminder message. This includes the task title and description from the JIRA issue. Specify the time for the reminder, which can be set to remind you the next day or at a specific time.

Map the task title and description for the reminder message. Specify the time for the reminder using a timestamp.

After configuring the reminder, send a test request to ensure that the reminder message is sent to Slack successfully. This finalizes your integration workflow, allowing you to seamlessly create JIRA issues in Todoist and receive timely reminders in Slack.
