1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Automation

To automate the process of adding events to Google Calendar when a Todoist task is completed, you first need to set up Pabbly Connect. Start by signing up for a free account on the Pabbly Connect dashboard. This platform serves as the central integration tool that allows you to connect Todoist with Google Calendar seamlessly.

Once you are logged in, click on ‘Create Workflow’ and name your workflow, such as ‘Todoist to Google Calendar’. This workflow will manage the automation process, where the completion of a task in Todoist will trigger an event creation in Google Calendar.

2. Configuring the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will configure the trigger that will initiate the automation. In the trigger window of Pabbly Connect, search for Todoist and select it. Then, choose the trigger event as ‘Task Completed’. This setup ensures that every time a task is marked as completed in Todoist, the automation will be triggered.

• Select Todoist in the trigger app.
• Choose ‘Task Completed’ as the trigger event.
• Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.

Next, log into your Todoist account and navigate to the App Management console. Create a new app and paste the copied webhook URL into the designated field. This connection allows Pabbly Connect to receive task completion details from Todoist.

3. Setting Up the Action to Create Google Calendar Events

After configuring the trigger, the next step involves setting up the action that will create an event in Google Calendar using Pabbly Connect. In the action window, select Google Calendar as the app. Choose the action event as ‘Create an Event’. This step is crucial as it defines what happens when the trigger is activated.

Click on ‘Connect’ and sign in to your Google Calendar account. After successfully connecting, you will be prompted to fill in the details of the event that will be created. You will need to select the calendar where the event will be added and map the task details from Todoist into the respective fields.

• Select the specific calendar for the event.
• Map the task title to the event title.
• Include the task description and due date in the event description.

Ensure that the start and end times of the event correspond to the date and time the task was completed in Todoist. This way, the event reflects the exact moment the task was marked as done.

4. Testing the Automation Workflow

Once you have mapped all the necessary fields in Pabbly Connect, it’s time to test the automation. Mark a task as completed in your Todoist account. This action should trigger the workflow you set up in Pabbly Connect, and you should see a response indicating that the event was successfully created in Google Calendar.

Check your Google Calendar to confirm that the new event appears with the correct details—task name, description, and completion date. This testing phase ensures that your automation is functioning correctly and that events are being created as expected.

5. Conclusion: Streamlining Your Task Management
