1. Getting Started with Pabbly Connect for Automation

To automate Google Tasks from Airtable, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. This integration platform allows you to connect various applications seamlessly. Start by creating a free account on Pabbly Connect, which offers 100 free automation tasks monthly.

Once your account is set up, log in to your Pabbly Connect dashboard. From here, you can create a new workflow to initiate your automation process. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button, and name your workflow something descriptive, like ‘Create Google Tasks from Airtable Records Automatically’.

2. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

The next step is to set up the trigger in Pabbly Connect. Click on the trigger application and select Airtable. You will need to choose the trigger event, which is the ‘New Record’ option. This event will start the workflow every time a new record is added to Airtable.

• Search for Airtable and select it as your trigger application.
• Choose the ‘New Record’ trigger event.
• Connect to your Airtable account by adding your API key.

Once connected, select the base and table from which you want to fetch the records. Ensure you have a trigger field set up in Airtable that captures the creation time of each record. This field will activate the automation whenever a new task is added.

3. Mapping Data from Airtable to Google Tasks

After setting up the trigger, the next step in Pabbly Connect is to map the data from Airtable to Google Tasks. For this, you will need to add an action step. Choose Google Tasks as your action application and select the ‘Create Task’ event.

• Connect to your Google Tasks account through Pabbly Connect.
• Select the task list where you want to create new tasks.
• Map the task title, notes, and due date from Airtable to Google Tasks.

When mapping, ensure that the task title and notes fields from Airtable correspond correctly to the fields in Google Tasks. This mapping ensures that when a new record is added in Airtable, a task is automatically created in Google Tasks with the relevant details.

4. Testing the Integration in Pabbly Connect

Once you have mapped the data, it’s time to test the integration. In Pabbly Connect, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This action will send a test task to Google Tasks based on the data you mapped from Airtable.

Check your Google Tasks to confirm that the new task has been created successfully. If everything is set up correctly, you should see the task reflecting the details you entered in Airtable. This testing phase is crucial to ensure that your automation works as intended before you finalize the setup.

5. Finalizing and Automating Your Workflow

After successful testing, you can finalize your workflow in Pabbly Connect. Save your workflow, and it will run automatically in the background. This means that every time you add a new record in Airtable, a corresponding task will be created in Google Tasks without any manual effort.

This automation not only saves time but also streamlines your task management process. You only need to set up this workflow once, and it will continue to function automatically, enhancing your productivity significantly.
