In this section, you will set Google Forms as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Search for ‘Google Forms’ in the trigger application section and select it. You will then need to choose the trigger event, which is ‘New Response Received’.

After selecting the trigger event, Pabbly Connect will provide a Webhook URL. This URL is crucial as it will connect your Google Forms submissions to the Pabbly Connect workflow. Copy this Webhook URL and proceed to your Google Forms account to set up the integration.

• Open Google Forms and select the form you want to connect.
• Ensure the last question in your form is marked as required.

Link the Google Form to a Google Sheet by clicking on the ‘Responses’ tab and selecting ‘Link to Sheets’. This will allow Pabbly Connect to capture responses effectively.

To complete the connection between Google Forms and Pabbly Connect, you need to install the Pabbly Connect add-on in Google Sheets. Go to ‘Extensions’, then ‘Add-ons’, and search for ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’. Install this add-on if you haven’t already.

Once the add-on is installed, refresh the spreadsheet. Go back to ‘Extensions’ and locate the Pabbly Connect Webhook option. Click on it and select ‘Initial Setup’. Here, you will need to paste the Webhook URL you copied earlier and select the appropriate sheet and trigger column.

Select the sheet that contains your Google Form responses. Set the trigger column to the last required question in your form.

After configuring these settings, click on ‘Submit’. You will receive a confirmation that the setup has been configured successfully, and now your Google Forms are connected to Pabbly Connect.

You will need to provide your Mailgun API key and domain name. To find these, log into your Mailgun account, navigate to the API security settings, and create a new API key if necessary. Copy the key and paste it into Pabbly Connect.

Enter the Mailgun API key and private key. Specify your Mailgun domain from the sending settings.

Once all details are filled in, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will add the new member to your Mailgun list automatically whenever a new response is received in Google Forms, thus completing the integration process.
