2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will create a new workflow to automate the document creation process. Click on the ‘Create New Workflow’ button in Pabbly Connect. You will be prompted to name your workflow; enter ‘Create New Google Docs for Each Google Form Submission’.

• Choose a folder for your workflow.
• Select the trigger app as Google Forms.
• Set the trigger event to ‘New Response Received’.

After selecting the trigger app, click the ‘Connect’ button to link Google Forms with Pabbly Connect. You will receive a webhook URL that you will need to configure in your Google Form’s settings for data transfer.

3. Configuring Google Forms for Integration

Now, navigate to your Google Form and open it in Google Sheets by clicking on the ‘Responses’ tab and selecting ‘View in Sheets’. This is where you will set up the connection with Pabbly Connect.

• Go to Extensions > Add-ons > Get Add-ons.

Connect your Google Docs account and select the template document you want to use for creating new profiles. Map the fields from Google Forms responses to the corresponding fields in your template, ensuring that each candidate’s information is dynamically inserted into the new document.

5. Testing and Finalizing the Integration

With everything set up, it’s time to test your integration. Fill out the Google Form with test data and submit it. Go back to Pabbly Connect and check if the response has been received successfully. If everything is configured correctly, a new Google Doc should be created with the candidate’s information.
