1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Currency Automation

To automate currency conversion, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. This powerful integration platform allows you to connect various applications seamlessly. Start by visiting Pabbly’s website and signing in or creating a free account if you’re a new user.

Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard where you can create a new workflow. Click on the blue ‘Create Workflow’ button, and name your workflow, such as ‘Convert Stripe Currencies to USD and Add to Google Sheets’. This sets the stage for your automation process.

2. Setting Up Stripe Integration in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will set up the Stripe integration using Pabbly Connect. Select Stripe as your first application and choose the trigger event as ‘New Charge’. This event will initiate the workflow whenever a payment is captured in INR.

• Select Stripe as the application.
• Choose the trigger event ‘New Charge’.
• Copy the provided webhook URL.

Next, navigate to your Stripe dashboard, go to the Developers section, and click on Webhooks. Add a new endpoint by pasting the copied webhook URL from Pabbly Connect. Select the event ‘Charge Succeeded’ to listen for successful payments. This establishes a connection between Stripe and Pabbly Connect.

3. Trimming Extra Zeros and Converting Currency

After setting up Stripe, you’ll need to convert the captured amount from INR to USD using Pabbly Connect. The payment amount often includes extra zeros, so first, you will trim these using the Number Formatter feature.

• Add a Number Formatter step in your workflow.
• Select the operation as ‘Divide’ to trim the extra zeros.
• Use 100 as the divisor to get the correct amount.

Next, add another Number Formatter step to convert the trimmed INR amount to USD. Use the current conversion rate (e.g., 81.65) as the divisor. This step will yield the converted USD amount, completing the currency conversion process.

4. Adding Data to Google Sheets via Pabbly Connect

Now that you have the converted amount, the next step is to store this data in Google Sheets using Pabbly Connect. Select Google Sheets as your application and choose the action event ‘Add Row’. This allows you to log the payment details automatically.

Connect your Google Sheets account by granting necessary permissions. Select the specific spreadsheet (e.g., Stripe Sales) and map the required fields such as customer name, email, INR amount, and converted USD amount. This ensures all relevant data is captured in your spreadsheet.

5. Finalizing Your Automation Workflow

To finalize your automation workflow in Pabbly Connect, test the entire process by making a dummy payment through Stripe. This test will help confirm that all steps are working correctly and that data is flowing seamlessly into Google Sheets.

Once the test is successful, you can activate your workflow. From now on, every time a payment is made in INR, it will be automatically converted to USD and logged in Google Sheets without any manual intervention. This automation saves time and reduces errors.
