1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Email Automation

To automate thank-you emails for form leads, the first step is to access Pabbly Connect. You can do this by navigating to the Pabbly Connect URL: Pabbly.com/connect. Once there, you will find options to either sign in or sign up for free.

If you are new to Pabbly, click on the ‘Sign Up Free’ button. Existing users can simply sign in. Pabbly Connect offers 100 free tasks every month for new users, allowing you to practice and explore its features.

2. Setting Up the Integration with Google Forms and Gmail

After signing into Pabbly Connect, the next step is to create a workflow that will integrate Google Forms with Gmail. To do this, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and select the workflow builder. Choose the beta version for a modern experience.

• Select a name for your workflow, such as ‘Send Emails to Website Form Leads’.
• Choose the folder where you want to save this workflow.
• Click on the ‘Create’ button to proceed.

Once your workflow is created, you will need to set a trigger. For this automation, the trigger app will be ‘Webhook by Pabbly’. Select this app and set the event to ‘Catch Webhook’. This webhook will act as a bridge between your Google Form and Pabbly Connect.

3. Connecting the Webhook to Google Forms

With the webhook set up in Pabbly Connect, you will see a unique webhook URL. Copy this URL as you will need it for your Google Form. Go to the code of your Google Form and find the section where you can insert the webhook URL.

Replace any existing dummy URL with the copied webhook URL. After making the changes, save the code. Now, when someone submits the form, it will send the data to Pabbly Connect through the webhook.

4. Testing the Integration and Sending Emails

After setting up the webhook, it’s time to test the integration. Fill out your Google Form with a sample entry. For instance, enter a name like ‘Demo User’ and an email address. Once you submit the form, go back to Pabbly Connect to verify that the data has been received successfully.

If the data appears correctly, you can now proceed to set up the action step. Click on ‘Add New Action Step’ and select ‘Gmail’ as the action app. Choose ‘Send Email’ as the event. You can either create a new connection or use an existing one.

• Enter the sender’s name and email address.
• Map the recipient’s email address to the email field from the webhook response.
• Set your email subject and content, using mapped fields where necessary.

Finally, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to send a test email. If everything is set up correctly, you should receive a thank-you email in your Gmail inbox.

5. Finalizing Your Automation with Pabbly Connect

Once you have verified that the test email was successfully sent, your automation is complete. You can now use Pabbly Connect to automatically send personalized thank-you emails to all your form leads without any manual effort.

This process not only saves you time but also enhances your customer engagement. You can customize the email content further to suit your branding and messaging needs. Remember, every time a new lead fills out your form, they will receive a thank-you email instantly.
