1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To automate your workflow, the first step is accessing Pabbly Connect. You can do this by visiting the official Pabbly website and signing into your account. If you’re a new user, you can sign up for free to get started with 100 tasks monthly.

Once logged in, navigate to the Pabbly Connect dashboard. Here, you can create a new workflow that will connect Google Sheets and Asana. This integration will allow you to automatically create tasks in Asana whenever you add a new row in Google Sheets.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After accessing Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to start. You will be prompted to name your workflow; for example, you can name it ‘Instantly Turn Google Sheets into Asana Tasks’. Next, select your desired folder to keep your workflows organized.

• Click on ‘Create’ to set up your workflow.
• Choose Google Sheets as the trigger application.
• Select the trigger event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’.

By setting Google Sheets as the trigger, you ensure that every time a new row is added, it will initiate the workflow to create a corresponding task in Asana.

3. Connecting Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect

To connect Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect, you will need a webhook URL provided during the setup process. This URL acts as a bridge between your Google Sheets and the Pabbly Connect workflow. Copy this URL and proceed to your Google Sheets.

In Google Sheets, go to Extensions, then Add-ons, and select ‘Get Add-ons’. Search for ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ and install it if you haven’t done so already. After installation, refresh your Google Sheets to ensure the add-on is active.

4. Setting Up the Webhook in Google Sheets

Once the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on is installed, navigate back to Extensions, select Pabbly Connect Webhooks, and click on ‘Initial Setup’. Here, paste the webhook URL you copied earlier and specify the trigger column, which is typically the last column where data will be entered.

• Set the trigger column to Column D, where the final data entry occurs.
• Click ‘Send Test’ to ensure the connection is working.

After successfully sending the test data, click ‘Submit’ to finalize the webhook setup. This step ensures that any new data added to your Google Sheet will trigger the automation in Pabbly Connect.

5. Creating Tasks in Asana Using Pabbly Connect

With the Google Sheets integration set up, the next step is to create tasks in Asana. In your Pabbly Connect workflow, add a new action step and select Asana as the action application. Choose ‘Create a Task’ as the action event and connect your Asana account.

Once connected, you will need to fill in the details for the task. Use the mapping feature to dynamically pull data from the Google Sheets response. For example, set the task name, description, and due date using the data from the Google Sheet. This ensures that every task created in Asana reflects the information from your Google Sheets.

After configuring the task details, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’. Check your Asana account to confirm that the task has been created successfully. This integration streamlines your workflow, allowing you to manage tasks efficiently between Google Sheets and Asana using Pabbly Connect.

Conclusion

By following this tutorial, you can effectively automate your workflow by integrating Google Sheets with Asana using Pabbly Connect. This process not only saves time but also enhances productivity by ensuring that every task is automatically created in Asana as you update your Google Sheets.
