1. Introduction to Pabbly Connect for Todoist and Google Sheets

Pabbly Connect is an incredible automation tool that allows you to integrate various applications seamlessly. In this tutorial, we will explore how to use Pabbly Connect to automatically add new Todoist tasks to Google Sheets. This integration not only saves time but also ensures that you have a systematic record of all your tasks.

By automating this process, you can track tasks assigned to team members, including details like created date, task ID, description, and priority. This means no tasks will be missed, and you will have a comprehensive overview of your team’s workload.

2. Setting Up Your Pabbly Connect Account

To get started, visit the Pabbly Connect website and either sign up for a new account or log into your existing account. If you are new to Pabbly Connect, you can create a free account that allows you to test the workflow with up to 100 free tasks each month.

• Go to the Pabbly Connect website.
• Click on ‘Sign Up’ if you are a new user.
• Log in to your existing account if you already have one.

After logging in, you will be directed to the Pabbly Connect dashboard, where you can create a new workflow to integrate Todoist with Google Sheets.

3. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once you are in the Pabbly Connect dashboard, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to start setting up your automation. For this integration, you will select the new beta method for a more modern workflow experience.

Give your workflow a name, such as ‘Add Todoist Task to Google Sheets’. After naming your workflow, you will need to set up a trigger. The trigger will be activated whenever a new task is created in your Todoist account.

• Select Todoist as your trigger application.
• Choose ‘New Task’ as the trigger event.
• Connect your Todoist account to Pabbly Connect.

After setting up the trigger, you will receive a webhook URL that will serve as a bridge between Todoist and Pabbly Connect. Copy this URL for the next steps.

4. Connecting Todoist to Pabbly Connect

Now that you have your webhook URL, navigate to your Todoist account. Here, you will need to create a new integration by pasting the webhook URL into the appropriate field. This will allow Todoist to send data to Pabbly Connect whenever a new task is created.

To do this, go to the app management console in Todoist, click on ‘Add New Integration’, and fill in the necessary details. Make sure to select the latest version of Todoist and set the webhook event to ‘Item Added’ before activating it.

Paste the webhook URL from Pabbly Connect. Select the event as ‘Item Added’. Activate the webhook and save the settings.

Once the webhook is activated, return to your Pabbly Connect workflow. You should see a message indicating that it is waiting for a webhook response.

5. Adding New Rows to Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect

With the Todoist integration set up, it’s time to add an action step to your workflow. Select Google Sheets as your action application and choose the event ‘Add New Row’. This action will ensure that every new task created in Todoist is automatically added to your Google Sheets.

You will need to connect your Google account to Pabbly Connect and grant the necessary permissions. After connecting, specify the spreadsheet and sheet where you want the task details to be added.

Select the spreadsheet named ‘Task’. Choose ‘Sheet1’ as the target sheet. Map the relevant data fields such as Task ID, Name, Description, etc.

Once everything is set up, you can test the workflow. Create a new task in Todoist, and you will see the corresponding details appear in your Google Sheets automatically. This automation saves time and ensures that your task management is efficient and error-free.
