1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Jotform and PostgreSQL Integration

To automate the process of adding Jotform submissions into your PostgreSQL database, you need to set up Pabbly Connect. Start by signing up for a free account using the link provided in the description. This setup will allow you to create workflows that connect Jotform with PostgreSQL seamlessly.

After creating your account, log in to access the dashboard. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to initiate a new automation. Name your workflow, for example, ‘Jotform to PostgreSQL’, and select the appropriate folder in your Pabbly Connect account. Once done, click on ‘Create’ to proceed.

2. Connecting Jotform to Pabbly Connect

• Copy the webhook URL generated by Pabbly Connect.
• Log in to your Jotform account and open your form.
• Navigate to the ‘Settings’ section and select ‘Integrations’.
• Search for ‘Webhook’ and select it, then paste the copied URL into the ‘Add Webhook’ field.
• Click on the ‘Complete Integration’ button.

After completing the integration, your Jotform is now connected to Pabbly Connect. Whenever a new submission is made, Pabbly Connect will capture the response, which you can see in the workflow waiting for a webhook response.

3. Testing Jotform Submission with Pabbly Connect

To test the connection, you need to submit a dummy response through your Jotform. Open your form in a new tab and fill in the details. For instance, use ‘Demo User’ for the name, ‘[email protected]’ for the email, and other relevant fields. After filling out the form, click on ‘Submit’.

Once you submit the form, go back to Pabbly Connect. You should see that the workflow has captured the new form response with all the details you entered. This confirms that the integration between Jotform and Pabbly Connect is working correctly.

4. Adding Jotform Data to PostgreSQL Using Pabbly Connect

Next, we will add the captured Jotform data into your PostgreSQL database. In the action window of your workflow, search for PostgreSQL and select it. Choose the action event ‘Insert Row into Table’ and click on ‘Connect’. using Pabbly Connect

• Select ‘Add New Connection’ to connect your PostgreSQL account.

Map the fields from the Jotform response to the respective columns in your PostgreSQL table. Once all fields are mapped, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to complete the process.

5. Verifying Data in PostgreSQL

To ensure that the integration is successful, refresh your PostgreSQL database table. You should see the newly added row reflecting the Jotform submission data. This confirms that the automation workflow created in Pabbly Connect is functioning correctly.

To further test, repeat the Jotform submission process with different data. Each new submission should automatically populate the PostgreSQL table without any manual input. This demonstrates the power of using Pabbly Connect for seamless data integration.

Conclusion

In summary, this tutorial has shown how to use Pabbly Connect to automate the addition of Jotform submissions into a PostgreSQL database. By following these steps, you can efficiently manage form data without manual intervention. Take advantage of Pabbly Connect to streamline your workflows and enhance productivity.
