To begin creating automatic invoices from Google Sheets, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. Simply navigate to Pabbly’s official website and sign in or create a free account. This platform serves as the central hub for all your automation needs, allowing seamless integration between Google Sheets and Zoho.

Once logged in, you will see options to create workflows. Click on ‘Create Workflow’ to start setting up your automation. Here are the steps to follow:

• Go to Pabbly Connect’s dashboard.
• Select ‘Create Workflow’.
• Name your workflow (e.g., ‘Automatic Invoices from Google Sheets’).

After setting up the workflow, you can proceed to configure the trigger that will initiate the invoice creation process.

2. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will set up the trigger that will capture new entries in your Google Sheets. Select Google Sheets as your trigger application in Pabbly Connect. The event you need to choose is ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’.

After selecting Google Sheets, you will be prompted to connect your Google account. Follow these steps:

• Click on ‘Connect’ to link your Google Sheets account.
• Authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Google Sheets.
• Select the specific spreadsheet you want to monitor.

Once the connection is established, you can test the trigger to ensure it is capturing data correctly from your Google Sheets.

3. Configuring Zoho for Invoice Creation

After successfully setting up the trigger, the next step is to configure the action that will create an invoice in Zoho Books through Pabbly Connect. Choose Zoho Books as your action application and select the event ‘Create Invoice’.

To connect your Zoho account, follow these steps:

Click ‘Connect’ to link your Zoho Books account. Authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Zoho Books account. Map the required fields from your Google Sheets to the corresponding fields in Zoho Books.

Ensure that all necessary information, such as customer details and invoice items, are accurately mapped to facilitate the invoice creation process.

4. Testing Your Automation Workflow

With both the trigger and action set up, it’s crucial to test your automation in Pabbly Connect. This ensures that everything works as intended. Start by adding a new row in your Google Sheets with the relevant invoice details.

After entering the data, go back to Pabbly Connect and click on the ‘Test’ button to check if the new invoice is created in Zoho Books. You should see a success message indicating that the data has been sent correctly.

If everything is successful, you can now refresh your Zoho Books account to see the newly created invoice. This confirms that the integration between Google Sheets and Zoho Books via Pabbly Connect is functioning correctly.

5. Finalizing Your Automation Setup

After confirming that your automation workflow works seamlessly, it’s time to finalize the setup in Pabbly Connect. You can enable the automation so that it runs automatically whenever a new entry is made in Google Sheets.

Additionally, you can customize your workflow further by adding filters or additional actions if needed. This allows you to refine how invoices are generated based on specific criteria.

To complete the setup, ensure you save your workflow and monitor it for any potential issues. With everything in place, your automatic invoicing process is now fully operational!
