1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Todoist and Notion Integration

To automatically add Todoist tasks in Notion, we will utilize Pabbly Connect. Start by accessing the Pabbly Connect website. If you don’t have an account, sign up for free, which only takes a couple of minutes.

Once logged in, navigate to the Pabbly Connect dashboard. Here, you can create a new workflow by clicking on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow something descriptive, like ‘Automatically Add Todoist Tasks in Notion Database’, and save it in your preferred folder.

2. Configuring the Trigger App: Todoist

In this section, we will set up the trigger application, which is Todoist. Select Todoist as your trigger app in Pabbly Connect. The trigger event you need to choose is ‘New Task’. This event will initiate the workflow whenever a new task is created in Todoist.

• Select Todoist as your trigger application.
• Choose ‘New Task’ as the trigger event.
• Connect Todoist to Pabbly Connect using the provided webhook URL.

Once you have selected the trigger event, copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect. Then, log into your Todoist account and navigate to the App Management section to create a new app. Paste the copied webhook URL into the callback URL section of your new app in Todoist.

3. Capturing Task Data from Todoist

After configuring the trigger, it’s time to capture task data from Todoist. Create a new task in Todoist to test the integration. For instance, you can create a task named ‘Team Meeting’ with a due date set for January 22, 2024.

Once you create the task, return to Pabbly Connect. You should see that the new task data has been captured, including the task name, description, due date, and project ID. This data will be used in the subsequent steps to add the task details to Notion.

• Create a task in Todoist to trigger the workflow.
• Return to Pabbly Connect to see the captured data.
• Make sure to note down the project ID for mapping later.

Now that you have the task data, you can move on to setting up the action step.

4. Setting Up the Action App: Notion

The next step is to configure the action app, which is Notion. In Pabbly Connect, select Notion as your action application. The action event should be ‘Create Database Item’. This will allow you to add the captured Todoist task details into your Notion database.

Connect your Notion account to Pabbly Connect by clicking on ‘Add New Connection’. Make sure you have already logged into your Notion account in your browser to facilitate this connection. Once connected, select the Notion database where you want to store the task details.

Select Notion as the action application. Choose ‘Create Database Item’ as the action event. Connect your Notion account and select the desired database.

Now, map the details from the previous steps, including the task name, due date, and project name, into the corresponding fields in your Notion database.

5. Testing the Integration

Finally, it’s time to test the integration between Todoist and Notion using Pabbly Connect. After mapping all the necessary fields, click on ‘Save and Send Request’. If everything is set up correctly, you should receive a positive response indicating that the task details have been added to your Notion database.

To verify, go to your Notion database and check for the newly created entry. You should see the task details, including the task name, description, due date, and project name, accurately reflected in your Notion database.

Click on ‘Save and Send Request’ in Pabbly Connect. Check for a positive response indicating success. Verify the task details in your Notion database.

By following these steps, you have successfully set up an automation that captures Todoist tasks and adds them to your Notion database using Pabbly Connect.
