1. Access Pabbly Connect for Certificate Generation

To automatically generate certificates for your English speaking course, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. This integration platform allows you to connect various applications seamlessly. Start by visiting the Pabbly website and signing up for an account if you haven’t done so already.

Once logged in, navigate to the Pabbly Connect dashboard. Here, you can create workflows that connect Google Sheets, Google Slides, and WhatsApp. The first step is to create a new workflow for your certificate generation process.


2. Set Up Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect

Next, you will need to set up your Google Sheets to store the students’ data. Using Pabbly Connect, connect your Google Sheets to ensure that it can automatically fetch the details of students who complete the course. This is crucial for generating certificates based on their completion status.

  • Open your Google Sheets and create a new sheet to track student details.
  • Add columns for student name, course status, and any other necessary information.
  • In Pabbly Connect, set up a trigger that activates when a new row is added to this sheet.

This setup allows Pabbly Connect to monitor the Google Sheet for any updates regarding course completion, triggering the next steps in your automation.


3. Create Certificates Using Google Slides

After setting up Google Sheets, the next step is to create certificates using Google Slides through Pabbly Connect. Once a student completes the course, the system will automatically generate a certificate based on a predefined template.

To do this, configure Pabbly Connect to pull the necessary data from Google Sheets and populate the Google Slides template. Make sure to select the correct template that contains placeholders for student names and completion dates.

  • Select the Google Slides app in Pabbly Connect and choose the action event to create a presentation from a template.
  • Map the student’s name and completion date into the respective fields in the template.
  • Save the generated certificate in Google Drive for easy access.

This step ensures that every student receives a personalized certificate automatically, enhancing their experience.


Once the certificate is generated and saved in Google Drive, the next step is to create a shareable link for the certificate using Pabbly Connect. This allows you to send the certificate directly to the student via WhatsApp.

In Pabbly Connect, select the Google Drive app and choose the action event for sharing a file. This action will create a link that can be sent to the student, ensuring they have easy access to their certificate.

Connect your Google Drive account in Pabbly Connect. Select the file ID of the generated certificate to share. Set the sharing permissions to allow anyone with the link to view the certificate.

By creating a shareable link, you simplify the process of delivering the certificate to students, making it efficient and straightforward.


5. Send Certificates via WhatsApp Using Pabbly Connect

The final step in this automation process is to send the generated certificate link to the student via WhatsApp. This is done using Pabbly Connect in conjunction with the 360 Dialog app, which provides access to WhatsApp’s chat API.

In Pabbly Connect, set up an action to send a template message through 360 Dialog. You will need to map the recipient’s phone number and the shareable link of the certificate in the message body.

Connect your 360 Dialog account in Pabbly Connect. Select the template message you created for sending certificates. Map the student’s phone number and the certificate link in the message fields.

This integration allows for the automatic delivery of certificates, significantly reducing manual effort and ensuring timely communication with students.
