1. Access Pabbly Connect for Integration

To begin integrating Typeform with Todoist, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. Navigate to the Pabbly website and sign in to your account. If you are a new user, you can sign up for free and get free tasks every month to explore the automation capabilities.

Once logged in, you will be directed to the Pabbly Connect dashboard where you can create new workflows. This platform is essential for automating tasks between different applications like Typeform and Todoist.

2. Create a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Click on the blue button labeled ‘Create Workflow’ to start setting up your integration. Name your workflow something descriptive, such as ‘When Typeform Form is Submitted, Create Task in Todoist.’ This naming helps in identifying the automation later.

In this step, you will see two boxes labeled ‘Trigger’ and ‘Action.’ The trigger is the event that starts the automation, and the action is what happens as a result. Select Typeform as the trigger application and choose ‘New Entry’ as the trigger event.

• Click on ‘Add New Connection’ to link your Typeform account with Pabbly Connect.
• Authorize the connection by providing necessary permissions to Pabbly Connect.
• Once connected, select the specific form you want to use for this automation.

This step is crucial as it establishes the link between Typeform and Pabbly Connect, allowing the automation to proceed smoothly.

3. Test Your Typeform Connection

After connecting Typeform, it’s essential to test the integration to ensure data is being captured correctly. You will need to make a test submission on your Typeform form. This action will generate a sample entry that Pabbly Connect can use to verify the connection.

Fill out the form fields with example data, such as task name, description, and deadline. Submit the form, and Pabbly Connect will capture this submission. You should see a response indicating that the data was received successfully.

• Check that all required fields are populated in the response, including task name and deadline.
• Ensure that the data is correctly formatted for Todoist.

Confirming this connection is vital as it ensures that the data flow from Typeform to Pabbly Connect is functioning correctly before proceeding to the next step.

4. Setup Todoist Action in Pabbly Connect

Now that your Typeform connection is established and tested, it’s time to set up the action in Todoist. Choose Todoist as the next application and select ‘Create Task’ as the action event. This step tells Pabbly Connect what to do with the data received from Typeform.

You will need to connect your Todoist account by providing an API token. Follow the instructions provided in the Pabbly Connect interface to obtain your token from Todoist. Once connected, map the fields from your Typeform submission to the corresponding fields in Todoist.

Map the task name from Typeform to the task name field in Todoist. Map the task description and due date accordingly. Select the appropriate project ID in Todoist where the task should be created.

Completing this step ensures that every time a Typeform entry is submitted, a corresponding task is automatically created in Todoist through Pabbly Connect.

5. Finalize and Test Your Workflow

With the connections established and mappings done, it’s time to finalize your workflow. Click on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button in Pabbly Connect. This action will trigger the automation using the test data you submitted earlier.

Check your Todoist account to verify that the task has been created successfully with all the mapped details. If everything appears correctly, your automation is set up and ready to go. You can now close Pabbly Connect and let it run in the background.

From now on, every time a new entry is submitted via Typeform, Pabbly Connect will automatically create a task in Todoist, streamlining your workflow significantly.

Conclusion

In conclusion, using Pabbly Connect to integrate Typeform with Todoist allows for seamless automation of task creation. This setup saves time and enhances productivity by eliminating manual entry. Follow these steps to streamline your workflow today.
