1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To automate sending Google Forms responses to Airtable and notifying your team on Slack, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. Open a new tab and visit Pabbly.com/connect to get started with your automation.

Once you arrive at the Pabbly Connect landing page, you can either sign up for a free account or log in if you already have one. After signing in, you will be directed to the Pabbly Connect dashboard where you can create and manage your automation workflows.

2. Creating Your Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will create a new workflow in Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and provide a meaningful name for your workflow, such as ‘Google Forms Response to Airtable and Slack Notification’. Select your preferred folder to keep your workflows organized.

• Click on ‘Create’ to initiate your workflow.
• Choose ‘Google Forms’ as your trigger application.
• Select the trigger event as ‘New Response’.

After setting up your trigger, you will receive a webhook URL from Pabbly Connect. This URL will be used to connect your Google Form to Pabbly Connect, enabling the automation process.

3. Setting Up Google Forms with Pabbly Connect

Now, you need to set up your Google Form to send responses to Pabbly Connect. Open your Google Form, and click on the ‘Responses’ tab. Here, you will link your form to the Pabbly Connect webhook URL you copied earlier.

To do this, click on the three dots in the upper right corner, select ‘Add-ons’, and search for ‘Pabbly Connect Webhook’. Install the add-on, and then open it to paste the webhook URL. Make sure to set it to trigger on form submission.

• Select the fields you want to capture, such as Name, Email, Address, Phone Number, Comment, and Rating.
• Submit the form to test if the responses are captured in Pabbly Connect.

Once the form is submitted, check the Pabbly Connect trigger setup to ensure that the responses are being received correctly. This confirms that your Google Form is now connected to Pabbly Connect.

4. Sending Data to Airtable via Pabbly Connect

Next, you will set up Airtable to receive the Google Forms responses through Pabbly Connect. In your Pabbly Connect workflow, add an action step and select Airtable as the application.

Choose the action event as ‘Create Record’. You will need to connect your Airtable account by providing the necessary API key and selecting the base and table where you want to store the responses.

Map the fields from the Google Forms response to the corresponding fields in Airtable. Test the action to ensure that the data is being correctly sent to Airtable.

Once the data is successfully sent, you can check your Airtable base to confirm that the new record has been created. This step demonstrates how Pabbly Connect facilitates the integration between Google Forms and Airtable seamlessly.

5. Notifying Your Team on Slack with Pabbly Connect

In the final step, you will set up a notification to your team on Slack using Pabbly Connect. Add another action step in your Pabbly Connect workflow and select Slack as the application.

Choose the action event as ‘Send Channel Message’. Connect your Slack account and specify the channel where you want to send notifications. You can customize the message to include the details from the Google Forms response.

Map the necessary fields such as Name, Phone Number, and Email Address into the message. Test the Slack notification to ensure it is sent correctly.

After testing, you will see that every time a new response is submitted on Google Forms, Pabbly Connect automates the process of sending the data to Airtable and notifying your team on Slack, all without manual effort.
