1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To begin integrating Google Forms with Todoist, first access Pabbly Connect by visiting the official website. If you are a new user, you can sign up for free and receive 100 free tasks to get started. Existing users can simply log in to their accounts.

Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard. Here, you will find the option to create a new workflow. Click on ‘Create Workflow’ to start setting up the integration process between Google Forms and Todoist.

2. Setting Up Google Forms for Task Creation

In this step, we will set up Google Forms to collect information for creating tasks in Todoist. Open Google Forms and create a new form titled ‘Task Details’. Make sure to include fields such as task name, description, project associated, and due date.

• Task Name
• Description
• Project Associated
• Due Date

Ensure that the fields are required where necessary. After setting up the form, go to the responses tab and select the option to create a new spreadsheet for response collection. This spreadsheet will be used to send data to Pabbly Connect.

3. Configuring Pabbly Connect with Google Forms

Now, return to Pabbly Connect to configure the integration. Create a new workflow and select Google Forms as your trigger application. Choose the event ‘New Response Received’. Pabbly Connect will generate a webhook URL that you need to copy.

Next, go back to Google Forms, and in the add-ons menu, search for the Pabbly Connect Webhooks application. After installation, refresh your Google Sheet and paste the copied webhook URL in the initial setup of the add-on. Specify the trigger column, which is usually the final column where responses are recorded.

4. Creating Tasks in Todoist via Pabbly Connect

After configuring Google Forms, the next step is to set up Todoist in Pabbly Connect. Select Todoist as the action application and choose the action event ‘Create Task’. You will need to connect your Todoist account by providing an API token, which can be found in your Todoist developer settings.

Once connected, map the fields from Google Forms to the corresponding fields in Todoist. This includes the task name, description, associated project, and due date. Make sure to format the due date correctly to match Todoist’s requirements.

• Map Task Name to the corresponding field
• Map Description accordingly
• Select the correct Project ID
• Format Due Date as required

After mapping, save the configuration and test the workflow to ensure that tasks are being created correctly in Todoist whenever a new response is submitted via Google Forms.

5. Testing the Integration for Success

To verify that the integration is working correctly, submit a test response in your Google Form. Check the associated Google Sheet to confirm that the data has been recorded. Then, visit your Todoist account to see if the task has been created successfully.

If everything is set up correctly, you should see the newly created task in your specified project in Todoist. This confirms that Pabbly Connect is functioning as intended, automating the task creation process seamlessly.
