1. Overview of the Automation Workflow Using Pabbly Connect

The automation workflow we are building with Pabbly Connect allows a visitor to receive a personalized email immediately after filling out a form on your website. This means no manual follow-ups are required, streamlining your lead engagement process.

In this tutorial, we will see how this integration works in real-time. When a lead submits their details, Pabbly Connect captures this information and triggers an email through Gmail, ensuring instant communication with your potential clients.


2. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

To begin the automation, we first need to set up the trigger in Pabbly Connect. Access your Pabbly Connect dashboard and click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Select the ‘Webhook by Pabbly’ application and choose the event as ‘Catch Webhook’. This allows Pabbly Connect to listen for new form submissions.

  • Navigate to the Pabbly Connect dashboard and click on ‘Create Workflow’.
  • Select ‘Webhook by Pabbly’ and set the event to ‘Catch Webhook’.
  • Copy the generated webhook URL for later use in your website code.

After copying the webhook URL, you will need to integrate it into your website’s form code. This allows Pabbly Connect to receive data whenever someone fills out the form.


3. Integrating the Webhook URL into Your Website

Next, it’s crucial to integrate the copied webhook URL into your website’s code. Open the source code of your website and locate the section where your form is defined. Replace the previous webhook URL with the one you copied from Pabbly Connect.

Once you have updated the code, save the changes and refresh your website. Now, when a lead submits their information, Pabbly Connect will capture the details and allow you to proceed with the next steps in the workflow.


4. Configuring Gmail to Send Emails via Pabbly Connect

After setting up the trigger, the next step involves configuring Gmail to send emails automatically. In your Pabbly Connect workflow, select the Gmail application as the action step and choose the event ‘Send Email’.

  • Click on ‘Add New Connection’ to connect your Gmail account.
  • Authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Gmail account.
  • Fill in the required fields such as sender name, recipient email, subject, and email content.

Make sure to map the recipient’s email dynamically so that each email is personalized according to the lead’s details captured by Pabbly Connect.


5. Finalizing and Testing Your Pabbly Connect Workflow

To finalize your workflow, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ in Pabbly Connect. This will send a test email to the recipient’s email address you set up earlier. Check your Gmail account to ensure the email is sent successfully.

If the test is successful, your automation is ready to go live! This means every time a lead fills out your form, Pabbly Connect will automatically send a follow-up email through Gmail, enhancing your customer engagement.


In conclusion, utilizing Pabbly Connect for automating lead follow-ups not only saves time but also enhances the professionalism of your communication. By following these steps, you can ensure that your leads are engaged promptly and effectively.
