1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Google Drive Automation

To automate the creation of Google Drive folders for new ActiveCampaign contacts, start by accessing Pabbly Connect. First, log in to your Pabbly Connect account. If you don’t have an account, you can create one easily and get started with 100 free automation tasks each month.

Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard and click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow appropriately, such as ‘ActiveCampaign to Google Drive Automation,’ and hit the ‘Create’ button. This sets the stage for integrating ActiveCampaign and Google Drive through Pabbly Connect.

2. Choosing ActiveCampaign as the Trigger Application

In the workflow setup, select ActiveCampaign as your trigger application. The trigger event will be ‘New Contact Added,’ which is crucial for initiating the folder creation process in Google Drive. Click on the ‘Connect’ button to establish a connection with ActiveCampaign.

• Select ‘Add New Connection’ to input your API key and URL.
• Retrieve your API key and URL from the ActiveCampaign settings under the Developer section.
• Make sure to format the URL correctly by removing the leading ‘http://’.

After entering the required details, save the connection. This step is pivotal as it allows Pabbly Connect to access your ActiveCampaign data and trigger actions based on new contacts.

3. Testing the ActiveCampaign Connection

Once the connection is established, you will need to perform a test submission to confirm it works correctly. Create a test contact in your ActiveCampaign account to trigger the automation. For instance, you can add a contact named ‘Abish Matthews’ with a corresponding email address.

After adding the contact, check back in Pabbly Connect to see if the contact data has been captured. You should see the details of the newly added contact, including their name and email, confirming that the integration is functioning as intended.

4. Connecting Google Drive to Create Folders

Next, add Google Drive as the action application in your workflow. Select the action event as ‘Create Folder’. Click on ‘Connect’ to link your Google Drive account with Pabbly Connect.

• Choose the Google account you want to connect.
• Grant necessary permissions to allow Pabbly Connect to access your Google Drive.
• Map the folder name using the contact details from ActiveCampaign.

For the folder name, you can format it as ‘[Contact ID] – [First Name] [Last Name]’. This ensures that each folder created is uniquely identifiable and corresponds to the new contact added in ActiveCampaign.

5. Finalizing the Automation Process

After setting up the Google Drive connection and mapping the folder name, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This action will create a folder in Google Drive based on the test contact you added earlier. You should see the new folder appear in your Google Drive.

To confirm the automation is working seamlessly, create another test contact in ActiveCampaign and observe if a corresponding folder is automatically created in Google Drive. This automation allows you to efficiently manage client projects without manual folder creation, showcasing the power of Pabbly Connect.
