1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Google Contacts Integration

To create Google Contacts from Typeform responses, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. This platform allows seamless integration between various applications. Start by signing in to your Pabbly account and navigating to the dashboard.

Once on the dashboard, locate the blue button labeled ‘Create Workflow’. Click on it and name your workflow (e.g., ‘Create Google Contacts from Typeform Responses’). This action will set the stage for automating the contact creation process.

2. Setting Typeform as the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will configure Typeform as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Select Typeform from the application list and choose the event labeled ‘New Entry’. This event will trigger the workflow every time a new form submission occurs.

To connect Typeform with Pabbly Connect, click on ‘Add New Connection’. Authorize the connection by accepting the permissions requested. Once connected, select the specific form (e.g., ‘Request Form’) you want to use for this integration.

3. Mapping Data from Typeform Responses

After setting up the trigger, you need to test the connection by submitting a Typeform response. Fill out the form with the necessary details such as name, birth date, email address, address, and contact number. Once submitted, return to Pabbly Connect to see the captured response.

• Name
• Birth Date
• Email Address
• Address
• Contact Number

Next, you will need to add a step to split the birth date into three parts (month, date, year) using the Text Formatter built into Pabbly Connect. Set the action event to ‘Split Text’ and map the birth date from the previous response.

4. Creating Google Contacts with Pabbly Connect

Now that the data is mapped, it’s time to create the Google Contact. Select Google Contacts as your action application in Pabbly Connect. Choose the event ‘Create Contact’ and connect your Google account by authorizing Pabbly to access it.

In the setup for creating a contact, map the fields such as email address, display name, family name, and address using the data captured from Typeform. Make sure to map the split birth date fields correctly to the respective fields in Google Contacts.

5. Testing the Integration and Verifying Contacts

Once you have set up the Google Contacts action, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to create a test contact. If the response indicates success, it means your integration is set up correctly.

To verify, go to your Google Contacts and refresh the page. You should see the newly created contact with all the mapped details including name, email address, phone number, and address. This confirms that every time someone fills out the Typeform, a new Google Contact will be automatically created through Pabbly Connect.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we explored how to automate the creation of Google Contacts from Typeform responses using Pabbly Connect. By following these steps, you can streamline your contact management process effectively.
