1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Integration

To automate task creation in Microsoft To Do from Trello cards, start by accessing Pabbly Connect. This platform allows seamless integration between different applications, making automation easier.

Visit the Pabbly Connect website by typing Pabbly.com/connect. If you don’t have an account, create a free one to start testing this automation. Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard and click on the blue button to create your automation.

2. Creating the Automation Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In the dashboard, you will see options to set up a trigger and an action. For this integration, select Trello as the trigger application. The trigger event should be set to ‘New Card Created’. This means whenever a new card is added in Trello, it will trigger the automation.

• Select Trello as the trigger application.
• Choose ‘New Card Created’ as the trigger event.
• Click on ‘Connect’ to link your Trello account.

After connecting, you will be prompted to enter your Trello API key, username, and token. These credentials allow Pabbly Connect to access your Trello data securely. Once connected, select the specific Trello board and list where you want to monitor new cards.

3. Testing the Connection and Capturing Data

After setting up the trigger, it’s important to test the connection. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ in Pabbly Connect. This action will prompt you to create a test card in Trello to capture the data. Create a random card in your selected Trello board.

Once the card is created, return to Pabbly Connect to see if the data has been captured successfully. You should see the details of the newly created card, including its name and description. This step is crucial as it ensures that the integration is functioning correctly.

4. Adding a Delay for Data Processing

In some cases, you may need to add a delay to allow for additional data processing, such as adding a description to the Trello card. In Pabbly Connect, you can easily implement this by adding a delay step. Set the delay for a few minutes to ensure the description is updated before the next steps are executed.

• Use the delay feature in Pabbly Connect to pause the automation.
• Set the delay time according to your needs (e.g., 5 minutes).
• After the delay, fetch the card details again.

This step ensures that when you fetch the card details, you receive the most accurate and up-to-date information, including any descriptions or notes added after the card’s initial creation.

5. Finalizing the Integration to Microsoft To Do

Now that you have set up the trigger and added a delay, it’s time to finalize the integration by adding Microsoft To Do as the action application. In Pabbly Connect, select Microsoft To Do and choose ‘Create Task’ as the action event.

Connect your Microsoft To Do account by providing the necessary permissions. Once connected, map the fields from the Trello card to the Microsoft To Do task fields. This includes the task title, description, due date, and priority. After mapping, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to create a task in Microsoft To Do.

Upon successful execution, you will see the newly created task in your Microsoft To Do list, reflecting the details from the Trello card. This automation ensures that whenever a card is created in Trello, a corresponding task is automatically generated in Microsoft To Do, streamlining your task management process.
