1. Introduction to Pabbly Connect for Google Forms and Mailercloud Integration

In this section, we will explore how to use Pabbly Connect to automate the process of adding Google Forms responses to your Mailercloud contact list. This integration allows you to build a customer database efficiently.

Using Pabbly Connect, you can connect Google Forms, a form-building application, with Mailercloud, an email marketing platform. This setup will help you automatically add new contacts based on form submissions.

2. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Google Forms

To start the integration, first, navigate to Pabbly Connect by typing ‘Pabbly.com’ in your browser. Once on the website, go to the products section and select Pabbly Connect.

• Click on ‘Sign up for free’ if you are a new user.
• If you already have an account, click on ‘Sign in’.

After signing in, access Pabbly Connect and click on the plus sign to create a new workflow. Name the workflow something like ‘Google Forms to Mailercloud Integration’ and click create.

3. Configuring Google Forms Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this step, we will set up Google Forms as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Select Google Forms in the trigger window and choose the event ‘New Response Received’.

Next, you will need to prepare your Google Form. Make sure the last question is marked as required to ensure all responses are captured. Switch to the responses tab and create a new spreadsheet to store the responses. This is essential as Pabbly Connect captures responses from Google Sheets.

• Click on the three dots in Google Forms and select ‘Select response destination’.
• Choose to create a new spreadsheet named ‘Contact Form Responses’.

Once the spreadsheet is created, you can view it by clicking on the green sign. This spreadsheet will now hold all your form responses, which Pabbly Connect will use to add contacts to Mailercloud.

4. Connecting Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect

After setting up your Google Form, the next step is to integrate Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect. Install the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on from the Google Workspace Marketplace and refresh your Google Sheets.

Once refreshed, go to Extensions, select Pabbly Connect Webhooks, and click on Initial Setup. Here, you will paste the webhook URL from Pabbly Connect and specify the trigger column, which should be the final data column that captures responses.

Paste the webhook URL from Pabbly Connect into the designated field. Set the trigger column to the last column containing data.

After completing these steps, click on Send Test to ensure the connection is working. This will allow Pabbly Connect to capture responses automatically from Google Sheets.

5. Adding Contacts to Mailercloud Using Pabbly Connect

Now that we have connected Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect, the final step is to add the captured responses to your Mailercloud contact list. In the action window of Pabbly Connect, select Mailercloud and choose the action event ‘Add Contact to List’.

You will need to connect your Mailercloud account by providing your API key, which you can find in your Mailercloud account under API Integrations. Once connected, select the appropriate contact list where you want to add new contacts.

Map the email address, first name, last name, and mobile number from the Google Sheets data. Click on Save and Send Test Request to finalize the setup.

After successfully mapping the fields, refresh your Mailercloud contact list to see the newly added contact, confirming that Pabbly Connect has automated the integration successfully.

Conclusion

In conclusion, using Pabbly Connect, you can seamlessly integrate Google Forms with Mailercloud to automate the addition of new contacts. This integration enhances your workflow efficiency and ensures your contact list is always up-to-date.
