1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Certificate Generation

To begin automating the certificate generation process, first, access Pabbly Connect. This platform is essential for integrating various applications like Google Forms, Google Slides, and WhatsApp. Start by visiting the Pabbly Connect website and signing up for a free account if you haven’t already.

Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard. Here, you can create a new workflow to automate the process of generating and sending certificates. This will involve connecting Google Forms to Pabbly Connect to capture intern data upon form submission.

2. Integrating Google Forms with Pabbly Connect

The first step in the integration involves connecting Google Forms to Pabbly Connect. This allows you to collect intern data seamlessly. Start by creating a form in Google Forms where interns can submit their details.

• Go to Google Forms and create a new form for your internship program.
• Add necessary fields such as Name, Email, and Phone Number.
• Make sure to capture the country code in the phone number field.

After setting up your form, integrate it with Pabbly Connect by selecting Google Forms as your first application and setting the trigger event to ‘New Response in Spreadsheet’. This integration captures the data submitted by interns directly into Pabbly Connect.

3. Creating Certificates Using Google Slides

Next, you will create a certificate template using Google Slides. This template will be populated with intern data collected via the Google Form. In Pabbly Connect, integrate Google Slides as your next application.

• Open Google Slides and create a new presentation for your certificate.
• Design the certificate layout, including placeholders for the intern’s name and date.
• In Pabbly Connect, set the action event to ‘Create Presentation from Template’ and select your certificate template.

This step ensures that every time a form is submitted, a new certificate is automatically generated for the intern using the information they provided.

4. Saving Certificates in Google Drive

After generating the certificate, the next step is to save it in Google Drive. This is crucial for easy access and sharing. In Pabbly Connect, integrate Google Drive as your next application.

Create a folder in Google Drive specifically for storing internship certificates. In Pabbly Connect, set the action event to ‘Upload File’ and select the folder you created. Map the file generated from Google Slides to this action.

This integration allows all generated certificates to be stored in one location, making them easy to manage and retrieve later.

5. Sending Certificates via WhatsApp

The final step is to send the generated certificate to the intern via WhatsApp. Since WhatsApp does not allow direct messaging through its API, you will use the 360 Dialog API integrated with Pabbly Connect.

Integrate 360 Dialog in Pabbly Connect as your last application. Set the action event to ‘Send Template Message’. Map the recipient’s mobile number, the document URL of the PDF certificate, and the message template.

This setup ensures that once a certificate is generated and saved, it is automatically sent to the intern’s WhatsApp number, enhancing the efficiency of the entire process.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we explored how to use Pabbly Connect to automatically generate creative internship program certificates and send them via WhatsApp. By integrating Google Forms, Google Slides, Google Drive, and 360 Dialog, you can streamline your certificate distribution process efficiently.
