To back up your OneNote notes to OneDrive, the first step is to access Pabbly Connect. This platform allows seamless integration between various applications, including OneNote and OneDrive.

To get started, open your web browser and type Pabbly.com. Once on the website, navigate to the Products section and select Pabbly Connect. If you are a new user, click on the ‘Sign Up for Free’ button to create your account. Existing users can simply sign in.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After logging into Pabbly Connect, you will be directed to your dashboard. Here, you will create a workflow for backing up OneNote notes. Click on the ‘+’ icon to create a new workflow.

Name your workflow, for example, ‘OneNote to OneDrive Integration’. This name can be customized according to your preference. After naming, click on the ‘Create’ button to proceed.

• Click on the trigger window and select OneNote as the application.
• Choose the trigger event as ‘New Page in Notebook’.
• Connect your OneNote account by clicking ‘Connect’.

Once connected, select the specific notebook you want to monitor for new pages. This setup ensures that every time a new page is created in OneNote, Pabbly Connect captures this event for further actions.

3. Testing the OneNote Trigger

With your trigger set up, it’s time to test it. Before clicking on ‘Save and Send Test Request’, create a new page in your selected OneNote notebook. For example, title it ‘Pabbly Connect’ and add any content.

After creating the page, return to Pabbly Connect and click ‘Save and Send Test Request’. You should see a response indicating that the trigger was successful, capturing the title and content of your newly created page.

• Check the response for the title of the page created.
• If data is missing, you may need to add an action step to get page details.

This testing phase ensures that Pabbly Connect is correctly receiving data from OneNote, setting the stage for the next steps in your backup process.

4. Setting Up OneDrive as Action Step

Now that your trigger is working, the next step is to set OneDrive as the action application in Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘+’ icon to add a new action step.

Select OneDrive as the application and choose the action event ‘Create Text File’. Connect your OneDrive account by following the prompts. Once connected, specify the folder path where you want to save the backup files.

Set the file name to the title of your OneNote page with a .txt extension. Map the content of the file from the OneNote page details you captured earlier.

After entering all the necessary details, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify that the file is created in your OneDrive account successfully.

5. Finalizing the Integration and Testing

With your action step set, it’s time to finalize the integration. Click on the ‘Save’ button to save your workflow in Pabbly Connect. You can now test the entire setup by creating a new page in OneNote.

After a few minutes, check your OneDrive account to confirm that the new text file has been created with the content from your OneNote page. This confirms that your backup process is working as intended.

Monitor for any errors in the workflow and adjust settings as necessary. Ensure that the polling interval is set appropriately to capture new notes quickly.

This final step ensures that your integration between OneNote and OneDrive through Pabbly Connect is seamless and efficient, providing you with a reliable backup solution.
