1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Webflow and Gmail Integration

To start automating emails for Webflow form submitters, you first need to set up Pabbly Connect. This platform acts as the bridge between Webflow and Gmail, allowing you to send automated emails whenever a form is submitted.

Begin by logging into your Pabbly Connect account. If you don’t have one, you can easily create an account. Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard where you can create a new workflow.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. You will be prompted to name your workflow. For this integration, you might name it ‘Webflow to Gmail Integration’. This helps you identify the workflow easily in the future.

• Select Webflow as the trigger application.
• Choose the trigger event as ‘New Form Submission’.
• Connect your Webflow account by following the authentication steps.

After setting up the trigger, you will be required to map the fields from your Webflow form. This step ensures that the right data is sent to Gmail when a form is submitted. Pabbly Connect will guide you through this mapping process.

3. Configuring Gmail to Send Automated Emails

Once you have configured the Webflow trigger, it’s time to set up Gmail to send automated emails. In your Pabbly Connect workflow, click on the ‘Add Action’ button and select Gmail as your action application.

Choose the action event as ‘Send Email’. You will then need to authenticate your Gmail account. After authentication, fill in the required fields to configure your email:

• Set the recipient email to the email field from the Webflow form submission.
• Fill in the subject line, such as ‘Thank You for Your Submission’.
• Write the email body to include a thank you message and any other relevant information.

After filling in these details, you can test the action to ensure that the email is sent correctly. This is a crucial step to confirm that your integration is working as intended.

4. Testing the Integration Between Webflow and Gmail

After configuring both Webflow and Gmail in Pabbly Connect, it’s essential to test the integration. Go back to your Webflow form and submit a test entry. This will trigger the automation you set up.

Check your Gmail account for the automated email. It should contain the information you specified in the email body. If the email arrives as expected, your integration is successful!

In case the email does not arrive, revisit the steps in Pabbly Connect to ensure all fields are correctly mapped and configured.

5. Final Steps and Activation of Your Workflow

Once testing is successful, make sure to activate your workflow in Pabbly Connect. This ensures that the automation will run every time a new form submission occurs on your Webflow site.

To activate the workflow, simply toggle the switch to ‘On’. You can also monitor the workflow’s performance through the Pabbly Connect dashboard, where you can view logs and any errors that may occur.

By following these steps, you have successfully set up an automated system that sends emails to Webflow form submitters using Pabbly Connect.

Conclusion

Integrating Webflow with Gmail using Pabbly Connect allows you to automate email notifications for form submissions effectively. By following the outlined steps, you can ensure timely communication with your users, enhancing their experience.
