1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Integration

To integrate Paperform responses into MongoDB, we will use Pabbly Connect. Start by signing up for a free account on Pabbly Connect, which can be done in just two minutes. Once signed up, log in to your Pabbly Connect dashboard to begin creating your automation workflow.

Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and name your workflow, for instance, ‘Paperform to DB’. Select the folder in your Pabbly Connect account where you want to save this automation, and then click on ‘Create’. This will open a new workflow interface with two sections: the trigger and the action.

2. Configuring Paperform Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In the trigger section, we will set up Paperform as the app that initiates the automation. Search for ‘Paperform’ in the app selection and choose it. For the trigger event, select ‘New Form Submission’. Pabbly Connect will generate a webhook URL, which we will use to connect Paperform with this workflow. using Pabbly Connect

• Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.
• Go to your Paperform account and navigate to the form you created.
• In the form settings, find the ‘After Submission’ section, then select ‘Integrations’ and choose ‘Webhook’.

On the Webhook page, paste the copied webhook URL and set the trigger on ‘New Submission’. Click on ‘Create’ to finalize this setup. Now, your Paperform is connected to Pabbly Connect, and it will send form responses whenever a new submission occurs.

3. Testing the Paperform Integration

To test the integration, go back to your Paperform and submit a test response. Fill in the required fields, such as name, email, mobile number, property type, and any additional messages. After submitting the form, return to Pabbly Connect. using Pabbly Connect

In Pabbly Connect, you should see that the trigger section is now waiting for a webhook response. Once the test form is submitted, Pabbly Connect will capture the response. You will see all the details from your form submission appear in the trigger step, confirming that the integration is working correctly.

4. Configuring MongoDB Action in Pabbly Connect

Now that we have successfully set up the Paperform trigger, we will configure the action to send the captured data to MongoDB. In the action step of Pabbly Connect, search for ‘MongoDB’ and select it. For the action event, choose ‘Create Record’ and click on ‘Connect’. using Pabbly Connect

To connect your MongoDB account, you will need to enter the connection string, username, and password. First, go to your MongoDB account, navigate to ‘Network Access’, and allow your current IP address. Then, go to ‘Clusters’ and obtain the connection string. Paste this string into Pabbly Connect, along with your MongoDB credentials and database name.

• Ensure you have created a collection in MongoDB where you want to store the responses.
• Map the fields from Paperform to MongoDB by clicking the mapping button in Pabbly Connect.
• Add the keys for each field you want to map, such as name, email, mobile number, etc.

After mapping all the necessary fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. If configured correctly, you should see a successful response indicating that the data has been added to your MongoDB collection.

5. Verifying Data in MongoDB

To confirm that the data from Paperform has been successfully added to MongoDB, go to your MongoDB account and refresh the collection page. You should see the new record reflecting the details submitted via Paperform. This verification step is crucial to ensure that your automation is functioning as intended.

Repeat the form submission process to test the automation multiple times. Each new submission in Paperform should create a corresponding record in MongoDB, showcasing the efficiency of using Pabbly Connect for automation. This integration not only saves time but also enhances data management across platforms.

Conclusion

Using Pabbly Connect, you can effortlessly automate the process of adding Paperform responses into MongoDB. This tutorial has guided you through the setup, testing, and verification stages, ensuring a seamless integration. By following these steps, you can enhance your workflow and improve data management effectively.
