1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Google Sheets and Telegram Integration

To start automating Telegram messages from Google Sheets, you need to access Pabbly Connect. This integration allows you to send messages automatically whenever new data is added to your Google Sheet.

First, visit the Pabbly Connect dashboard. If you are a new user, sign up for an account. Once logged in, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ tab located on the right side of the dashboard. Here, you will name your workflow, such as ‘Telegram Messages from Google Sheets,’ and click on the ‘Create’ button.

2. Configuring Google Sheets as the Trigger Application

In this section, we will set Google Sheets as the trigger application within Pabbly Connect. The trigger event will be set to ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’ which will activate the workflow every time data is added.

• Select Google Sheets as the trigger application.
• Choose the trigger event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’.
• Connect your Google account to Pabbly Connect.

After setting the trigger, you will need to select the specific Google Sheet you want to monitor. Ensure that your Google Sheet is structured with the necessary columns such as Name, Email Address, Contact Number, and Feedback. This setup allows Pabbly Connect to capture relevant data efficiently.

3. Setting Up the Webhook for Google Sheets

Next, we will set up a webhook in Google Sheets to connect it with Pabbly Connect. This webhook will act as a bridge to send data from Google Sheets to Telegram.

In your Google Sheet, navigate to Extensions > Add-ons > Get Add-ons. Search for ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ and install it. After installation, refresh your Google Sheet to ensure the add-on is active. Then, go to Extensions > Pabbly Connect Webhooks > Initial Setup.

• Paste the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.
• Set the trigger column to the last column that will receive data (e.g., Column D).
• Click on ‘Submit’ and then ‘Send Test’ to ensure the connection works.

Once the test is successful, your Google Sheet will be ready to send data to Pabbly Connect whenever a new row is added.

4. Configuring Telegram as the Action Application

Now that Google Sheets is set up, we will configure Telegram as the action application in Pabbly Connect. This step will allow you to send messages to your Telegram group automatically.

Select Telegram as the action application and choose the action event as ‘Send Text Message’. You will need to connect your Telegram account by generating a bot token. To do this, go to Telegram and search for ‘BotFather’ to create a new bot, then copy the token provided.

Paste the token into Pabbly Connect to establish the connection. Set the chat ID to send messages to your group. Map the message content using data from Google Sheets.

After configuring the message content, save the settings. This ensures that every time a new row is added to your Google Sheet, a message will be sent to your Telegram group through Pabbly Connect.

5. Testing the Integration of Google Sheets and Telegram

Finally, it’s time to test the integration between Google Sheets and Telegram using Pabbly Connect. To do this, return to your Google Sheet and add a new row with test data.

Once the data is added, check your Telegram group to see if the message has been received. If the setup is correct, you should see the message reflecting the new entry from your Google Sheet. This confirms that the integration is successful and working as intended.

Remember, with Pabbly Connect, you can automate various tasks and integrate multiple applications seamlessly. This integration not only saves time but also enhances communication within your team.
