2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In the Pabbly Connect dashboard, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to start setting up your integration. You will be prompted to name your workflow, which can be something like ‘Airtable to Asana Tasks’. This identifies the purpose of your automation clearly.

• Click on the ‘Create’ button to initiate the workflow.
• Select Airtable as your trigger application.
• Choose ‘New Record’ as the trigger event.

After selecting the trigger event, Pabbly Connect will check for new records every 10 minutes, ensuring that your workflow is efficient and up to date. You will then need to connect your Airtable account to Pabbly Connect.

3. Connecting Airtable to Pabbly Connect

To connect Airtable, click on the ‘Add New Connection’ button in Pabbly Connect. You will be prompted to enter an API key, which you can obtain from your Airtable account. Log into Airtable, navigate to your account settings, and copy the API key provided.

Once you have copied the API key, return to Pabbly Connect and paste it into the required field. Click on ‘Save’ to establish the connection. After setting up the connection, you will need to map the necessary fields from Airtable, such as the base and table from which you want to pull information.

4. Setting Up Asana Integration via Pabbly Connect

After successfully connecting Airtable, the next step is to set up Asana as your action application. In the Pabbly Connect workflow, click on the action application option and select Asana. For the action event, choose ‘Create Task’. This will allow you to automate the task creation process in Asana based on new records in Airtable.

• Click on ‘Connect’ to link your Asana account to Pabbly Connect.
• Authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Asana account.
• Map the fields from Airtable to the corresponding fields in Asana.

Mapping is crucial as it ensures that each task created in Asana reflects the correct information from Airtable. Once all fields are mapped, click on ‘Save & Send Test Request’ to verify that the integration works correctly.

5. Testing the Integration in Real Time

Now that you have set up the integration, it is time to test it in real time. Go back to your Airtable account and add a new record with the task details. Once you save the new record, wait for Pabbly Connect to check for updates after the 10-minute polling period.

After the waiting period, check your Asana account to see if the new task has been created successfully. If everything is set up correctly, you should see the new task appear in your designated Asana project. This confirms that your integration is working flawlessly and automating your workflow between Airtable and Asana.
