1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Discord and Asana Integration

To start automating your tasks, first, access Pabbly Connect. This platform allows you to integrate multiple applications seamlessly. Visit Pabbly.com/connect and sign up for a free account if you are a new user, or log in if you already have an account.

Once logged in, click on the blue ‘Create Workflow’ button to initiate your automation. You’ll be prompted to name your workflow; for this integration, use a descriptive title like ‘When Task is Created in Asana, Send Message on Discord’. Click ‘Create’ to proceed.

2. Connecting Asana to Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will connect Asana as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Select Asana from the list of applications and choose the trigger event as ‘New Task’. This means every time a new task is created in Asana, it will trigger the automation.

Next, you need to authenticate your Asana account. Since you are already logged in to Asana in another tab, the connection will be established automatically. After connecting, select the specific project from which you want to capture tasks. If you don’t see your project, click on the refresh button to retrieve the latest projects.

• Select ‘New Task’ as the trigger event.
• Authenticate your Asana account.
• Choose the project from which tasks will be captured.

Once you have selected the project, proceed by clicking ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This action will prepare Pabbly Connect to capture the task details from Asana for the next steps.

3. Creating a New Task in Asana

Now that you have set up the trigger, you need to create a test task in Asana to see if the integration works correctly. Navigate to your Asana project and create a new task. For example, name it ‘Create a video on Google Sheets automation’.

After creating the task, return to Pabbly Connect and check if the task details have been captured. This includes the task name, creation date, and any assigned team members. If the details appear as expected, you are ready to move to the next step.

It’s essential to ensure that all necessary task details are captured. If not, you may need to create the task again or check your integration settings. Make sure to verify that the task ID is also captured, as it will be crucial for fetching additional details later.

4. Fetching Task Details Using Pabbly Connect

After capturing the basic task information, the next step is to fetch detailed task information using the task ID. In Pabbly Connect, add another action step and select Asana again, this time choosing the ‘Get Task’ action event. This allows you to retrieve all details associated with the task you just created.

Connect to your Asana account again, and when prompted for the task ID, map the ID from the previous step. This mapping process ensures that you are fetching the correct task details. Once you have mapped the task ID, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ again to retrieve the task details.

• Select ‘Get Task’ as the action event.
• Map the task ID from the previous step.
• Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to fetch details.

Once the task details are fetched, you will see all relevant information, including the task description, assigned user, and due date. This data will be utilized in the final step to send a message to your Discord channel.

5. Sending Messages to Discord via Pabbly Connect

Now that you have all the necessary task details, it’s time to send a message to your Discord channel. In Pabbly Connect, add another action step and select Discord. Choose the ‘Send Channel Message’ action event. This will allow you to send a message with the task details to your chosen Discord channel.

To complete the setup, you’ll need to provide the webhook URL from your Discord server. Go to your Discord server, navigate to the channel settings, and create a new webhook to obtain the URL. Copy this URL back into Pabbly Connect.

For the message content, you can create a template that includes the task name, project name, and assigned user. Make sure to map these fields from the previous steps so that the message reflects the actual task details. Once everything is set, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to send your first message to Discord.
