1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Google Sheets and Mattermost Integration

To begin the integration process between Google Sheets and Mattermost using Pabbly Connect, you need to access the Pabbly website. Start by typing ‘Pabbly.com’ in your browser.

Once on the Pabbly homepage, navigate to the products section and select Pabbly Connect. If you are a new user, click on ‘Sign up for free’ to create an account. Existing users can simply log in to access their dashboard.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After logging into Pabbly Connect, you can create a new workflow for automating posts from Google Sheets to Mattermost. Click on the ‘+’ icon and select ‘Create Workflow’. Name your workflow, for example, ‘Create Posts from Google Sheets to Mattermost Automatically’.

• Select the trigger application as Google Sheets.
• Choose the trigger event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’.
• Copy the provided webhook URL.

Once the webhook URL is copied, you can proceed to link it with your Google Sheets. This connection will enable Pabbly Connect to capture data from your spreadsheet whenever a new row is added or updated.

3. Setting Up Google Sheets for Integration

Next, open your Google Sheets document that you want to integrate with Mattermost. Go to the ‘Extensions’ menu, click on ‘Add-ons’, and select ‘Get add-ons’. Search for the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on and install it.

After installation, refresh your Google Sheets. Then go back to ‘Extensions’, select Pabbly Connect Webhooks, and click on ‘Initial Setup’. Paste the webhook URL you copied earlier and specify the trigger column, which is the last column that will trigger the data capture.

4. Configuring Mattermost with Pabbly Connect

Now that your Google Sheets is set up, you need to configure Mattermost to receive posts created through Pabbly Connect. In the action window of your workflow, select Mattermost as the application.

• Choose the action event as ‘Create a Post’.
• Connect your Mattermost account by entering your access token and Mattermost URL.
• Select the team and channel where the post will be created.

Once you have configured these settings, map the message and application name fields from your Google Sheets data to the corresponding fields in Mattermost. This ensures that each new row in Google Sheets triggers a new post in the specified Mattermost channel.

5. Testing the Integration and Finalizing

With everything set up, it’s time to test the integration. Add a new row in your Google Sheets with the application name and message. Check your Mattermost channel to see if the post appears automatically.

If the post is successfully created, you can save your workflow in Pabbly Connect. This automation will now run in the background, creating new posts in Mattermost whenever you update your Google Sheets.
