1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Automation

To automate the process of updating your Webflow site live items from Google Sheets on a daily basis, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. This tool allows you to create workflows that connect different applications seamlessly.

Start by signing up for a free account on Pabbly Connect. Once you’ve logged in, navigate to the dashboard, where you can create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and give your workflow a name, such as ‘Update Website’. This initial setup is crucial for establishing the automation process.

2. Configuring Google Sheets as the Trigger

Next, you need to configure Google Sheets as the trigger for your automation. In Pabbly Connect, select the ‘Google Sheets’ application and choose the ‘New Spreadsheet Row’ trigger event. This setup will allow Pabbly Connect to monitor your Google Sheets for any new data entries.

• Select your Google account and allow access to Pabbly Connect.
• Choose the specific Google Sheet you want to monitor.
• Define the range of data to be monitored (e.g., A2:D6).

After setting up the trigger, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure that your Google Sheets data is being fetched correctly. This step verifies that Pabbly Connect is properly connected to your Google Sheets.

3. Scheduling the Automation to Run Daily

To ensure that your Webflow site updates automatically, you need to schedule the workflow to run daily. In Pabbly Connect, use the ‘Scheduler’ feature to set the frequency of your automation.

• Select ‘Every Day’ as the frequency.
• Enter the time you want the workflow to run in UTC format (e.g., for 9 AM IST, enter 3:30 AM UTC).

Once you’ve scheduled your workflow, it will automatically check your Google Sheets for updates at the specified time each day, triggering the next steps in the integration process.

4. Updating Live Items in Webflow

After configuring the trigger and scheduling the automation, the next step is to update your Webflow items. In this step, you will connect Pabbly Connect to Webflow and select the ‘Update Live Items’ action event.

To do this, connect Webflow by selecting your site and the specific collection you want to update. Map the necessary fields from your Google Sheets data to the corresponding fields in Webflow, such as the closing price and item ID. This ensures that the correct data is being pushed to your Webflow live items.

5. Finalizing the Workflow and Testing

Finally, you need to finalize your workflow by testing the entire process. In Pabbly Connect, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to execute the workflow. This will send the data from Google Sheets to Webflow and update the live items accordingly.

Make sure to check your Webflow site to verify that the updates have been applied correctly. If everything looks good, your automation is now complete! You can sit back and let Pabbly Connect handle the daily updates for you.
