1. Connect Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect

In this section, we will learn how to connect Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect. Start by logging into your Pabbly Connect account and selecting Google Sheets as your trigger application. This step initiates the automation process where data from Google Sheets will be sent to Pabbly Email Marketing.

Once you select Google Sheets, you will need to choose the trigger event. This is where you will find a webhook URL, which is crucial for connecting Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect. Copy this webhook URL and head back to your Google Sheets.

2. Set Up the Google Sheets Webhook

To set up the webhook, click on ‘Extensions’ in Google Sheets, then go to ‘Add-ons’ and select ‘Get add-ons’. Search for the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on and install it. This add-on is essential for establishing the connection between Google Sheets and Pabbly Connect.

After installing the add-on, navigate back to ‘Extensions’, find Pabbly Connect Webhooks, and click on ‘Initial Setup’. Here, you will paste the webhook URL you copied earlier. Additionally, specify the trigger column, which is typically the last data entry column in your sheet. This column will trigger the automation whenever new data is added.

• Click on ‘Send Test’ to ensure the data is sent to Pabbly Connect.
• Submit and close the setup box once the test is successful.

After completing these steps, you will see the test data reflected in your Pabbly Connect dashboard, confirming that the connection is successful.

3. Send Data to Pabbly Email Marketing

With Google Sheets successfully connected to Pabbly Connect, the next step is to send this data to Pabbly Email Marketing. In Pabbly Connect, search for Pabbly Email Marketing as your action application. Select the action event, which in this case is ‘Add Subscribers with Custom Fields’. This will allow you to add subscribers along with their details like phone number and email.

Next, you will need to connect your Pabbly Email Marketing account with Pabbly Connect. To do this, retrieve your Bearer token from the Pabbly Email Marketing dashboard under the Integration tab, specifically in the Developer API section. Paste this token into Pabbly Connect to establish the connection.

• Choose the list name in which you want to add the subscribers.
• Map the fields such as name, email, phone number, and city from the Google Sheets data.

Once you have mapped all necessary fields, click on the button to send the data to Pabbly Email Marketing. You can refresh your dashboard to see the new subscribers added successfully.

4. Automate Data Fetching with Pabbly Connect

To ensure that the automation works seamlessly, you need to enable the ‘Send on Event’ option in the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on. This setting defines the trigger for the automation, meaning that whenever new data is added in Google Sheets, it will automatically be sent to Pabbly Connect and subsequently to Pabbly Email Marketing.

By setting this up, you only need to configure the automation once. After that, Pabbly Connect will handle the data transfer in the background. This ensures that all new entries in Google Sheets are sent to your email marketing list without any manual intervention.

Regularly check your Pabbly Email Marketing dashboard to confirm that new subscribers are being added as expected. This will help you maintain an updated list of contacts for your marketing campaigns.

Conclusion

Using Pabbly Connect, you can effortlessly automate the process of sending data from Google Sheets to Pabbly Email Marketing.
