4. Adding Delay and Fetching Task Details

To ensure that all task details are captured accurately, you will need to add a delay in your workflow. This can be done by using the Pabbly Connect delay feature. Set a delay of 3 minutes to allow enough time for the task to be created in Asana before fetching its details.

• Add a delay step to wait for 3 minutes.
• Use the ‘Get Task’ action from Asana to fetch task details.
• Map the Task ID to retrieve specific task information.

Once the delay is set, add another action to get the task details using the ‘Get Task’ option from Asana. Map the Task ID from the previous step to fetch all relevant details such as task name, due date, and description. This ensures that all necessary information is available for the next step.

5. Creating Tasks in Microsoft To-Do

Now that you have all the task details, the final step is to create a task in Microsoft To-Do using Pabbly Connect. Select Microsoft To-Do as your action application and choose the ‘Create Task’ event.

Connect your Microsoft To-Do account by authorizing the necessary permissions. Then, map the task details such as title, description, and due date from the previous steps. Ensure to select the correct task list in Microsoft To-Do where the new task should be added.
