Pabbly Connect is a powerful automation tool that allows you to integrate various applications seamlessly. In this tutorial, we will demonstrate how to send Airtable responses to Focuster using Pabbly Connect. This integration will help automate task management by creating actions in Focuster whenever new data is added to Airtable.

To get started, you need to create a free account on Pabbly Connect. After signing up, log in to your dashboard to begin setting up your automation. This process does not require any coding skills and is user-friendly, making it accessible for everyone.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

To initiate the workflow, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button in your Pabbly Connect dashboard. You will be prompted to name your workflow. For this integration, you can name it ‘Airtable to Focuster Automation’. After naming it, click the ‘Create’ button to proceed. using Pabbly Connect

• Click on ‘Create Workflow’ in the dashboard.
• Enter a suitable name for your workflow.
• Click the ‘Create’ button to set up your workflow.

Once the workflow page is ready, you will see two modules: the trigger and the action. The trigger is the event that starts the workflow, while the action is the response that occurs as a result of the trigger. In this case, the trigger will be adding details to Airtable.

3. Setting Up Airtable as the Trigger Application

In the trigger module, search for Airtable and select it. You will choose the event that triggers the workflow, which is ‘New Record in Base’. This setup will check for new records in your Airtable base every 10 minutes. using Pabbly Connect

Next, click on ‘Connect’ and select ‘Add New Connection’. Here, you will need to enter your Airtable API key. To find this key, go to your Airtable account settings and copy it from the API section. Paste the key into Pabbly Connect and click ‘Save’.

• Select ‘Airtable’ as your trigger application.
• Choose ‘New Record in Base’ as the trigger event.
• Enter your Airtable API key to connect.

After saving the connection, you will be prompted to select the base and table you want to monitor. Choose the base named ‘Focused Actions’ and the table ‘Table 1’. Ensure that your table has a ‘Created Time’ field, which is essential for triggering the workflow.

4. Testing the Airtable Trigger

Once you have configured your Airtable connection, it’s time to test the trigger. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This action will pull the most recent entry from your Airtable base into Pabbly Connect. You should see the data displayed, including the title, notes, assignee’s name, and due date. using Pabbly Connect

In the action module, search for Focuster and select it. Choose ‘Create Action’ as your action event. Click on ‘Connect’ and select ‘Add New Connection’. You will need to enter the API key from your Focuster account, which can be found in your account settings under the Integrations tab. using Pabbly Connect
