1. Introduction to Pabbly Connect for Google Forms and BigCommerce Integration

In this tutorial, we will explore how to automate the process of creating a BigCommerce customer using Google Forms submissions through Pabbly Connect. This integration allows you to streamline customer data collection and management effectively.

We will be using Pabbly Connect as the central platform to facilitate this integration. By following the steps outlined in this tutorial, you can set up a seamless workflow that captures customer information from Google Forms and automatically adds them to your BigCommerce store.

2. Setting Up Your Pabbly Connect Account for Automation

To begin, you need to access your Pabbly Connect account. Simply visit the Pabbly Connect homepage and either sign in or create a new account if you are a first-time user. Once logged in, you will be greeted by the dashboard.

• Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to start a new automation.
• Name your workflow, for example, ‘Create BigCommerce Customers on Google Form Submission’.
• Select a folder for organizing your workflow.

After naming your workflow, click on the ‘Create’ button. This will bring you to the workflow setup page where you can define triggers and actions. Here, Pabbly Connect allows you to specify what happens when a Google Form is submitted.

3. Configuring Google Forms as the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will configure Google Forms as the trigger for your workflow. Select Google Forms from the list of applications in Pabbly Connect as the trigger application.

Choose the trigger event as ‘New Response Received’. This event will initiate the workflow every time a new response is submitted through the Google Form. Once selected, Pabbly Connect will provide you with a webhook URL that you will need to copy for the next step.

• Open your Google Form and click on the ‘Responses’ tab.
• Link the form to a Google Sheets spreadsheet by clicking on ‘Link to Sheets’.
• Paste the webhook URL into the appropriate section in the Google Sheets add-on for Pabbly Connect.

This setup ensures that every new form submission is captured and sent to Pabbly Connect for further processing.

4. Creating a Customer in BigCommerce Using Pabbly Connect

Now that you have set up Google Forms as the trigger, the next step is to create a customer in BigCommerce whenever a form is submitted. For this, select BigCommerce as the action application in Pabbly Connect.

Choose the action event as ‘Create Customer’. You will need to connect your BigCommerce account by entering details such as Client ID, Access Token, and Store Hash Key. These credentials can be found in your BigCommerce account settings under API accounts.

Provide the Client ID and Access Token from your BigCommerce API settings. Input the Store Hash Key found in your BigCommerce account URL. Map the customer details from the Google Forms response to the corresponding fields in BigCommerce.

Once you have mapped all required fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify that the customer is created successfully in BigCommerce. This confirms that your automation is functioning correctly with Pabbly Connect.

5. Testing and Finalizing Your Automation Workflow

After setting up the workflow, it’s essential to test the integration to ensure everything works as expected. You can do this by submitting a test response through your Google Form.

Once the form is submitted, check both the Google Sheets and BigCommerce to confirm that the data is being captured correctly. If the customer appears in BigCommerce with the correct details, your integration is successful.

With the automation set up through Pabbly Connect, you can now focus on other aspects of your business while customer data is automatically managed. This not only saves time but also reduces manual errors in data entry.

Conclusion

In conclusion, using Pabbly Connect to integrate Google Forms with BigCommerce allows you to automate customer creation seamlessly. This process enhances efficiency and accuracy in managing customer data, making it an invaluable tool for your e-commerce operations.
