Once registered, you will receive 100 free tasks every month, allowing you to test the automation capabilities. After signing up, log in to your Pabbly Connect dashboard where you can manage all your automation workflows.
2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect
In this section, you will create a new workflow using Pabbly Connect. Click on the “Create Workflow” button to begin. You can create a workflow in three ways: from scratch, using AI, or the quick builder.
- Create from scratch
- Create using AI
- Create using quick builder
For this tutorial, select the quick builder option, which is the fastest way to set up your automation. Enter a prompt like “connect Asana with Slack” to initiate the workflow creation process.
3. Setting Up the Asana Trigger in Pabbly Connect
After entering your prompt, Pabbly Connect will ask you to select an Asana trigger. Choose “New Task in Project” as the trigger event. This will activate the workflow whenever a new task is created in Asana.
Next, you will need to connect your Asana account to Pabbly Connect. Click on the “Connect” button and select “Add New Connection”. Once logged in, choose the specific project from which you want to receive updates.
4. Adding a Filter and Slack Action
To ensure that only relevant tasks trigger notifications, add a filter in Pabbly Connect. Select the filter option and set it to only proceed if the priority of the task is high. This way, notifications will only be sent for important tasks.
- Select the priority field
- Set filter type to “is not empty”
Now, move to the action application, which is Slack. Connect your Slack account to Pabbly Connect and select the channel where notifications will be sent, such as “Asana Task Updates”.
5. Configuring the Slack Message
In this final step, you will configure the Slack message that will be sent when a new task is created in Asana. Use Pabbly Connect to map the data dynamically from Asana to Slack.
Enter the message details using the mapping feature. This allows you to include task name, assignee, and due date in the message. Once you have configured the message, click on the “Save and Send Test Request” button to test the integration.
