Once connected, copy the provided webhook URL. This URL will be used to capture responses from Google Ads. Ensure that your Google Ads campaign has a lead form set up to utilize this URL effectively.

3. Configuring Google Ads for Lead Capture

Next, you need to configure your Google Ads campaign to use the webhook URL from Pabbly Connect. In your Google Ads account, navigate to the lead form section of your campaign.

• Select the details you want to capture, such as first name, last name, email, phone number, and city.

Now that your Google Ads trigger is set up and verified, it’s time to create Grist records automatically. In Pabbly Connect, add a new action step and select ‘Grist’ as the application.

Choose the event as ‘Create Record’. Click on ‘Connect’ and enter your Grist API key to establish the connection. Select the team, workspace, and document where you want the lead details to be stored.

After selecting the appropriate options, map the fields from the Google Ads lead form to the corresponding fields in Grist. This mapping allows Pabbly Connect to dynamically insert data from new leads into Grist records.

5. Testing and Verifying the Automation

Once you’ve mapped the fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ in Pabbly Connect. This action will create a test record in Grist using the lead details captured from Google Ads.

Check your Grist document to verify that the new lead’s information has been added correctly. If everything looks good, your automation is set up successfully. Whenever a new lead is generated through Google Ads, Pabbly Connect will automatically create a corresponding record in Grist without any manual effort.
