3. Setting Up the Trigger for Google Forms

The next step involves setting up the trigger in Pabbly Connect. Select Google Forms as your trigger application. The specific event you want to trigger is ‘New Response Received’. Click on the ‘Connect’ button to establish this connection.

Pabbly Connect will provide you with a webhook URL. Copy this URL, as it will be used to connect your Google Forms account. Now, navigate to your Google Forms account, select your form, and go to the responses section. Click on ‘View in Sheets’ to access the associated Google Sheets.

• Copy the webhook URL from Pabbly Connect.

After pasting the URL, click on the ‘Send Test’ button to verify the connection. If successful, you will see a confirmation message indicating that your Google Forms is now connected to Pabbly Connect.

4. Setting Up the Action to Send Messages via WhatsApp

Now, we will set up the action in Pabbly Connect to send a message via WhatsApp. Select the application as Pabbly Chatflow and choose the event ‘Send Template Message’. Click on ‘Connect’ to proceed.

For the connection, you can either select an existing connection or create a new one by entering your API token from your Pabbly Chatflow account. After establishing the connection, map the recipient’s mobile number using the data received from Google Forms.

• Select the template message you want to send.
• Map the variables such as first name, last name, email, etc.
• Ensure the recipient’s mobile number includes the country code without the plus sign.

Once all fields are mapped, click on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button to send a test message. Check your WhatsApp to confirm that the message has been received successfully, indicating that your action is set up correctly.

5. Finalizing Your Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After successfully sending the test message, ensure that your workflow in Pabbly Connect is finalized. Click on the ‘Submit’ button to save your workflow settings. It’s crucial to enable the toggle for the workflow to function continuously.

Remember, if the toggle is not enabled, the workflow will not be active, and you won’t receive any messages. This integration allows you to automate follow-up messages to users instantly after they submit the Google Form.
