2. Creating Your Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After signing in to Pabbly Connect, the next step is to create a workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located at the top right corner of the dashboard. You will then be prompted to name your workflow. Let’s name it ‘Create Mailer Cloud Contact from New Google Sheets Row’.

• Choose the folder where you want to save your workflow.
• Click the ‘Create’ button to finalize the workflow setup.

Now that your workflow is created, you will see two essential components: Trigger and Action. The Trigger indicates when an event occurs, while Action specifies what should happen as a result.

3. Setting Up Google Sheets as the Trigger

In this section, you will set Google Sheets as the trigger application within Pabbly Connect. Select Google Sheets from the trigger options and choose the event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. This setup ensures that every time a new row is added, it triggers the workflow.

After selecting your trigger event, you will receive a webhook URL. Copy this URL as it will be used to connect Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect. Next, go to your Google Sheets account and open the relevant spreadsheet.

• Click on ‘Extensions’ in Google Sheets.
• Select ‘Add-ons’ and then ‘Get Add-ons’.
• Search for the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on and install it.

After installation, refresh the Google Sheets page. Then, navigate back to ‘Extensions’, select ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’, and click on ‘Initial Setup’. Here, you will enter the webhook URL and specify the trigger column, which will be the last column in your data.

4. Adding Contacts to Mailer Cloud via Pabbly Connect

Now that your Google Sheets trigger is set up, it’s time to configure the action to add contacts to Mailer Cloud. In Pabbly Connect, select Mailer Cloud as your action application and choose ‘Add Contact to a List’ as the action event.

To connect Mailer Cloud with Pabbly Connect, you will need to enter your API key. To find this, log in to your Mailer Cloud account, go to your profile, and find the API keys section under account settings. Generate a new API key and copy it back to Pabbly Connect.

Select the contact list where new leads should be added. Map the necessary fields such as email, first name, last name, and phone number using the data from the trigger step.

After mapping these details, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to finalize the setup. If successful, you will see a confirmation message indicating that a new contact has been created in Mailer Cloud.

5. Testing the Integration

With the setup complete, it’s time to test the integration between Google Sheets and Mailer Cloud using Pabbly Connect. Add a new row in your Google Sheets with dummy lead data, ensuring that all required fields are filled in appropriately.

After entering the data, check your Mailer Cloud account to verify if the new contact has been added successfully. You should see the contact details reflecting the information you entered in Google Sheets.

This testing phase confirms that your automation works as intended, allowing you to manage leads efficiently without manual data entry. With Pabbly Connect, you can streamline your workflow, saving time and enhancing productivity.
