2. Setting Up Google Sheets as a Trigger in Pabbly Connect

Next, you need to set Google Sheets as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Add Trigger’ button and search for Google Sheets. Select it and choose the event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. This step is crucial as it initiates the workflow whenever a new contact is added to your Google Sheets.

  • Search for Google Sheets in the trigger application.
  • Select the event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’.
  • Click on ‘Connect’ to establish the connection.

Once you connect, Pabbly Connect will provide you with a webhook URL. Copy this URL and paste it into the Google Sheets add-on for Pabbly Connect Webhooks. This integration will ensure that any new row added in Google Sheets will trigger the creation of a new contact in Google Contacts.


3. Initial Setup of Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect

After copying the webhook URL, you need to set it up within Google Sheets. Go to Extensions > Add-ons > Get Add-ons, and search for Pabbly Connect Webhooks. Install this add-on to enable the connection.

Once installed, refresh your Google Sheets to see the Pabbly Connect Webhooks option. Click on ‘Initial Setup’ and paste the webhook URL you copied earlier. Set the trigger column to the final data column where new contacts will be added. This configuration is vital for ensuring that the correct data is sent to Pabbly Connect.


4. Creating Google Contacts through Pabbly Connect

With the trigger set up, the next step is to create Google Contacts. In your Pabbly Connect workflow, click on ‘Add New Action’ and search for Google Contacts. Select the event as ‘Create Contact’ to begin the process of adding contacts automatically.

When prompted, connect your Google account. Allow the necessary permissions to ensure Pabbly Connect can access your Google Contacts. After connecting, you will map the data fields from Google Sheets to the Google Contacts fields.

  • Map the name, email, and phone number fields from Google Sheets.
  • Use the mapping feature to ensure data is dynamic.
  • Save and send the test request to check if the contact is created successfully.

Upon successful mapping and testing, you will see that a new contact is created in your Google Contacts, demonstrating the effectiveness of Pabbly Connect in automating this process.


5. Bulk Creation of Contacts in Google Contacts

Once you have successfully created a single contact, you can use the ‘Send All Data’ option in the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on to create multiple contacts at once. This feature allows you to send all the data from your Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect, which will then create contacts for each entry in bulk.

Additionally, you can enable the ‘Send on Event’ option to automate the process further. This means that every time you add new details to your Google Sheets, a new contact will be created automatically in Google Contacts without any manual effort. This is the power of automation with Pabbly Connect.
