1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To integrate Asana with Todoist, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. This platform enables seamless automation between various applications. Start by visiting the Pabbly Connect website and either sign in or sign up for a free account if you don’t have one.

Once logged in, click on the ‘Access Now’ button to reach the Pabbly Connect dashboard. Here, you will see a blue button to create a new workflow. Click on that button and name your workflow, for example, ‘Add New Asana Tasks to Todoist’. This sets the stage for the integration process.

2. Setting Up Asana as the Trigger Application

In this step, we will configure Asana as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. A trigger is an event that starts the workflow. Select Asana from the list of applications and choose the event ‘New Task in Project’.

• Choose your Asana account and connect it to Pabbly Connect.
• Select the specific project in Asana where you will create tasks.
• Test the connection to ensure everything is set up correctly.

After setting up the trigger, create a new task in your selected Asana project. For instance, name the task ‘Prepare a calendar for the upcoming month’. This task will now trigger the workflow in Pabbly Connect.

3. Adding a Delay Step in Pabbly Connect

After the task is created in Asana, the next step in Pabbly Connect is to add a delay. This is crucial because it allows time for all task details to be captured before proceeding to the next action. To add a delay, select the ‘Delay’ feature and set it to a duration of three minutes.

This delay ensures that when the workflow proceeds, all necessary information about the task is available. After configuring the delay, save this step and prepare to add another action to retrieve the task details from Asana.

4. Retrieving Task Details from Asana

Now that we have added a delay, the next step is to retrieve the complete details of the newly created task from Asana using Pabbly Connect. To do this, add a new action step and select the event ‘Get Task’. This requires the Task ID from the previous step.

• Use the Task ID received in the response from the trigger step.
• Connect to your Asana account again if necessary.
• Test this action to verify that all task details are retrieved successfully.

After retrieving the task details, you will see all relevant information, such as task name, description, due date, and assigned person. This information is essential for the next step where we will send it to Todoist.

5. Creating a Task in Todoist

The final step in our integration using Pabbly Connect is to create a new task in Todoist based on the details retrieved from Asana. Select Todoist as the action application and choose the event ‘Create Task’.

Connect your Todoist account by entering the API token, which can be found in your Todoist settings. Once connected, you will need to map the fields from the Asana task to the Todoist task, such as task name and description. Ensure that you select the appropriate project in Todoist where the task should be created.

After mapping all necessary fields, save the workflow and test it to confirm that a new task has been created in Todoist. Check your Todoist account to see the newly created task with all the relevant details from Asana, confirming that the integration works as intended through Pabbly Connect.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we explored how to automate the process of adding new Asana tasks to Todoist using Pabbly Connect. By following the steps outlined, you can efficiently manage tasks across both platforms, ensuring that your workflow remains streamlined and organized.
