In this step, you will configure Airtable as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Select Airtable from the list of applications and choose the trigger event as ‘New Record.’ This event will trigger the workflow whenever a new record is added to Airtable.

Next, you will need to connect your Airtable account. Click on ‘Add New Connection’ and enter your API token. To find your API key, log into your Airtable account, navigate to the account section, and copy the API key. Paste it back into Pabbly Connect and click ‘Save’ to authorize the connection.

After successfully connecting, select the base you want to work with from Airtable. Ensure you have a field named ‘Created Time’ to sort records effectively. Once set up, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to capture the latest record created in Airtable.

3. Capturing the Latest Record from Airtable in Pabbly Connect

Once you have configured the trigger, Pabbly Connect will capture the latest record from Airtable. This step is crucial as it allows you to utilize the data from the newly created record in the subsequent action step. The information captured will include fields like task title, notes, category, and status.

For instance, if the latest record is titled ‘Check SEO’ with notes ‘Submit strategy report,’ this data will be available for mapping in the next steps. Confirm that the data has been captured correctly before proceeding. This ensures that the workflow will execute as intended when a new record is created in Airtable.

• Verify that the correct record details are captured.
• Check the fields for task title, notes, and category.

After confirming the captured data, you can move on to the action step, where you will integrate Microsoft To Do.

4. Configuring Microsoft To Do as the Action Application in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will set Microsoft To Do as the action application in Pabbly Connect. Select Microsoft To Do and choose the action event ‘Create Task.’ This action will create a task in Microsoft To Do whenever a new record is added in Airtable.

To proceed, connect your Microsoft To Do account by clicking ‘Add New Connection.’ Log in with your credentials and grant the necessary permissions. After successful authorization, select the task list where you want the new tasks to be created.

Choose Microsoft To Do as the action application. Select ‘Create Task’ as the action event. Connect your Microsoft To Do account and select the task list.

After configuring the connection, you will need to map the details from the Airtable record to the new task fields in Microsoft To Do. This includes mapping the task title, notes, and category to ensure that the created task reflects the information from Airtable correctly.

5. Testing and Finalizing the Integration Between Airtable and Microsoft To Do

After mapping the fields, it’s time to test the integration. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ in Pabbly Connect. This action will create a task in Microsoft To Do with the details you mapped from Airtable. Once the test is successful, you should see the new task in your selected task list.

For example, if the task title was ‘Check SEO’ and the notes were ‘Submit strategy report,’ check your Microsoft To Do account to confirm that the task has been created successfully. This integration ensures that every time a new record is added in Airtable, a corresponding task is automatically created in Microsoft To Do.

Once everything is set up, the integration will continue to function seamlessly, automatically updating tasks based on new records from Airtable without any manual intervention.
