Existing users can simply log in. After signing in, you will be directed to the Pabbly apps page, where you can select Pabbly Connect to begin the integration process.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After accessing Pabbly Connect, you will be on the dashboard page. Here, you can organize your automations into folders or create a new workflow directly. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to start building your integration.

• Select the workflow builder (Beta or Classic).
• Name your workflow, e.g., ‘Automatically Create Brevo Contacts from Google Form Submission’.
• Choose your folder for better organization.

After naming your workflow and selecting a folder, click the ‘Create’ button. This will take you to the workflow page, where you can add your trigger app, which in this case is Google Forms.

3. Setting Up Google Forms as a Trigger

To set up Google Forms as your trigger application in Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Add Trigger’ button and search for Google Forms. Select it and choose the event ‘New Response Received’. Then, click the ‘Connect’ button to proceed.

A webhook URL will be generated, which acts as a bridge between Google Forms and Pabbly Connect. Copy this URL and navigate to your Google Form. Go to the responses section and link it to Google Sheets to collect responses automatically.

• Click on ‘View in Sheets’ to open the linked Google Sheet.
• Install the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on if not already done.
• Paste the copied webhook URL into the initial setup dialog of the add-on.

Once you have pasted the URL and set the trigger column, click ‘Submit’ to complete the setup. You can now send a test response through your Google Form to verify that everything is working correctly.

4. Creating Brevo Contacts from Google Forms Submissions

After successfully setting up Google Forms, the next step is to create contacts in Brevo using Pabbly Connect. Go back to your Pabbly Connect workflow and click on ‘Add Action Step’. Search for Brevo and select it.

Choose the action event as ‘Create or Update Contact’ and click ‘Connect’. You will need to enter your Brevo domain and API key, which you can find in your Brevo account settings under the API section. Once you have entered these details, click ‘Save’.

Map the email, first name, and last name fields from the Google Forms response. Ensure that the mapped fields are dynamic to automatically update with new submissions. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to create the contact in Brevo.

Once you receive a positive response, check your Brevo account to confirm that the contact has been created successfully. You should see all the details matching the submission from your Google Form.

5. Finalizing the Automation Process

To finalize the automation in Pabbly Connect, return to your Google Sheets and ensure that the ‘Send on Event’ option is enabled in the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on. This setting allows Pabbly Connect to automatically fetch data without needing to send it manually each time.

After enabling this option, you can test the entire process by submitting a new response in your Google Form. The details should automatically populate in your Google Sheet and create a new contact in Brevo without any additional steps.

This automation streamlines your workflow, saving you time and ensuring that all new leads are captured efficiently. By using Pabbly Connect, you can easily manage and automate your business processes, allowing you to focus on growth.
