1. Access Pabbly Connect for Integrating Feedback Forms

To collect student feedback anonymously, start by accessing Pabbly Connect. This powerful integration platform allows you to connect various applications seamlessly. First, navigate to the Pabbly Connect website by entering Pabbly.com/connect in your browser’s address bar.

Once there, you have options to sign in or sign up. Signing up is free and provides 100 tasks monthly for testing workflows. After logging in, click on ‘Create Workflow’ to begin setting up your integration.

2. Create a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you’ll create a new workflow for collecting student feedback. Name your workflow, for instance, ‘Jotform to Grist Integration,’ to reflect the integration purpose. After naming, click on the ‘Create’ button to proceed. using Pabbly Connect

In the workflow setup, you will see two sections: Trigger and Action. For the Trigger, select Jotform and choose the event ‘New Response’. This setup indicates that the action will occur when a new form response is submitted. Pabbly Connect generates a webhook URL that you will use to connect Jotform.

3. Connect Jotform with Pabbly Connect

Now, you need to connect your Jotform account to Pabbly Connect. Copy the webhook URL provided in your Pabbly Connect workflow. Go to your Jotform account, navigate to the ‘Integrations’ section, and search for ‘Webhooks’. Click on it and select ‘Add to Form’.

• Choose the student feedback form you previously created.
• Remove any existing integrations, then paste the copied webhook URL.
• Complete the integration process by clicking on ‘Complete Integration’.

This step ensures that every time a student submits feedback via Jotform, it will be sent to Pabbly Connect for processing.

4. Map Data to Grist in Pabbly Connect

With Jotform connected, the next step is to set up the action in Pabbly Connect to send data to Grist. For this, select Grist as the action application and choose ‘Create Record’. You will need to log into your Grist account and generate an API key from the profile settings. using Pabbly Connect

Paste the API key into Pabbly Connect to establish the connection. Next, select the appropriate team and document (e.g., ‘Las Vegas University’), and choose the table where you want to store the feedback. Use the mapping feature in Pabbly Connect to transfer data from Jotform responses to the corresponding fields in Grist.

5. Test and Finalize Your Integration

After mapping the fields, it’s time to test the integration. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ in Pabbly Connect. This action will send a test record to Grist based on the Jotform submission. You should see the feedback appear in your Grist database, confirming that the integration works.

To ensure everything is functioning correctly, submit another feedback form through Jotform. Check Grist to verify that the new record is created accurately. This process demonstrates how Pabbly Connect effectively automates the collection of student feedback anonymously.

Conclusion

Using Pabbly Connect, you can easily collect student feedback anonymously through Jotform and store it in Grist for analysis. This integration streamlines the feedback process, allowing institutions to improve their services based on student input.
