1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start integrating Google Chat with Todoist, you need to access Pabbly Connect. Navigate to the Pabbly Connect website and log into your account. If you don’t have an account, you can sign up for free, which provides you with 100 tasks to test the integration.

After logging in, you will be taken to the Pabbly Connect dashboard. From here, you can create a new workflow that connects Todoist and Google Chat seamlessly. This integration allows notifications to be sent automatically whenever a new task is created in Todoist.


2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

To create a workflow, click on the “Create Workflow” button in your Pabbly Connect dashboard. Choose the option to create using AI. This feature helps you set up a workflow template based on your requirements.

  • Select Todoist as the trigger application.
  • Choose the trigger event as “New Task Created”.
  • Select Google Chat as the action application.
  • Choose the action event as “Send Message”.

By doing this, you will set up the workflow that triggers a notification in Google Chat whenever a new task is added in Todoist. Make sure to approve and create the workflow to proceed to the next step.


3. Configuring Todoist for Pabbly Connect

Next, you need to configure Todoist to work with Pabbly Connect. In your Todoist account, go to the profile settings and find the integration section. Here, you will add the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.

To do this, follow these steps:

  • Create a new integration and name it appropriately (e.g., “New Task for Team”).
  • Paste the webhook URL from Pabbly Connect into the designated field.
  • Select the trigger event as “Item Added” and activate the webhook.

Once you have completed these steps, your Todoist account will be configured to send data to Pabbly Connect, allowing for seamless integration with Google Chat.


4. Setting Up Google Chat Notifications

Now that Todoist is configured, it’s time to set up Google Chat to receive notifications from Pabbly Connect. In the Google Chat application, navigate to the chat space where you want to send notifications.

Follow these steps to create a webhook in Google Chat:

  • Click on the chat name and go to the “Apps and Integration” section.
  • Select “Add Webhook” and name it (e.g., “New Task Notification”).
  • Copy the generated webhook URL.

After setting up the webhook, you can now map the task details from Todoist to the message format you want to send in Google Chat. This ensures that whenever a new task is created, your team will receive an automated notification in real time.


5. Testing the Integration

With everything set up, it’s time to test the integration using Pabbly Connect. Go back to your Pabbly Connect workflow and click on the “Send Test Request” button. This will send a test notification to your Google Chat.

To ensure everything is working correctly, create a new task in Todoist. You should see an immediate notification in Google Chat confirming the new task. This confirms that the integration is successful, and your team will now be notified of any new tasks created in Todoist automatically.
