1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration
To start integrating Google Forms with WhatsApp, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. Open your browser and go to pabbly.com/connect. If it’s your first time, sign up for a free account, which gives you 100 free tasks each month.
Once logged in, you can create workflows without any coding knowledge. This makes Pabbly Connect an ideal tool for automating tasks like sending WhatsApp notifications upon Google Forms submissions.
2. Setting Up Google Forms with Pabbly Connect
Next, you need to set up Google Forms to capture responses. Create a new form and ensure it has a field for the user’s phone number. This is essential for sending WhatsApp messages later. To connect it with Pabbly Connect, follow these steps:
- Open Google Forms and navigate to the Responses section.
- Click on “Link to Sheets” to create a new spreadsheet for responses.
- Ensure the spreadsheet is linked to your form for real-time data capture.
Now, your Google Forms is set up to work with Pabbly Connect. Each response will be automatically recorded in the linked spreadsheet, ready for integration.
3. Configuring Webhooks in Pabbly Connect
With your Google Forms linked to a spreadsheet, it’s time to configure webhooks in Pabbly Connect. In your Pabbly Connect dashboard, create a new workflow and select Google Forms as the trigger application. Choose the event “New Response Received” to initiate the workflow.
Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect and return to your Google Sheets. Go to Extensions > Add-ons > Get add-ons and install the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on. After installation, refresh the spreadsheet to see the Pabbly Connect Webhooks option.
4. Activating the Webhook Event
Now, activate the webhook event in your Google Sheets. Go to Extensions > Pabbly Connect Webhooks and select “Initial Setup”. Paste the webhook URL you copied earlier and set the trigger column to the last column where phone numbers are recorded.
Click on submit to configure successfully. Next, enable the “Send on Event” option in the same menu. This ensures that every time a form is submitted, the data is sent to Pabbly Connect, ready to trigger a WhatsApp message.
5. Sending WhatsApp Notifications via Pabbly Chat Flow
In this step, you will set up the action to send WhatsApp messages using Pabbly Chat Flow. Select Pabbly Chat Flow as your action application and choose “Send Text Message” as the action event.
Map the phone number field from the previous step to the WhatsApp number field. Enter the message you want to send, using dynamic data from the form submission. This way, each response will receive a personalized message automatically. Finally, click “Save and Send Test Request” to see if the integration works.
If set up correctly, you will receive a positive response, and the WhatsApp message will be sent instantly. This demonstrates how Pabbly Connect automates communication seamlessly.
