Having trouble sending data from Google Sheets to Pabbly Email Marketing? Well in this article we will use a simple yet efficient method to solve this problem.
Imagine having a data list in Google Sheets and you want to append this data to any application in the world. Of course, it is possible but the only prerequisite is that you need to have some good technical skills like coding. But let’s face it most of us really don’t have any programming knowledge nor have the patience to manually insert each data into applications. We just wish to click some buttons and the data automatically adds into the application we want.
Well, for people like you, I propose using a SaaS tool called Pabbly Connect. It simply acts like a middleman or a pipe that delivers data from Google Sheets to any application you desire and that too in real-time!!
To explain this process, we will trigger data from Google Sheets into Pabbly Email Marketing using Pabbly Connect. Now the gist of the process is, first we are going to connect Google Sheet to Pabbly Connect then Pabbly Connect to Pabbly Email Marketing.
So, without wasting any more time lets start the process.
Step 1: Connecting Google Sheets To Pabbly Connect
(a) Create a Gooogle Sheet
This is my Google Sheet, as you can there are three columns i.e Name, Email, and Send To Pabbly Email Marketing. We will be sending the data in column ‘A’ and ‘B’ to Pabbly Email Marketing. Also, with few tweaks, you can use this awesome method to send data to any other applications.
(b) Click on Add-ons
In the upper taskbar of Google Sheet, you will find a button called ‘Add-on’, click it. A drop down emerges, here you can choose the option called ‘Pabbly Connect Webhook’. But since you are hearing Pabbly Connect for the first time, this add-on is obviously not installed in your system. So let’s first install Pabbly Connect into Google Sheet by clicking on the option ‘Get add-on’.
(c) Find Pabbly Connect in G Suite Market Place
Once you click on ‘Get Add-on’ a new window will pop-up. Here in the search bar look for Pabbly Connect Webhooks. If you have it then click it.
(d) Install Pabbly Connect
Click on install and within seconds this extremely light add-on gets installed into your Google Sheets.
(e) Press Initial Setup In Google Sheets
Now, that the Pabbly Connect add-on has been installed in your system, it is time that we exploit it thoroughly. Again from the upper taskbar click on ‘Add-on’ and here click on Pabbly Connect Webhooks. When you click on ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ another drop-down expands with options like Initial Setup, Send on Event, Auto Send On Schedule, etc. Click on ‘Initial Setup’.
Note: In case after clicking Pabbly Connect Webhooks, if it doesn’t show Initial setup, you just need to refresh your Google Sheets. It is a glitch with Google Sheets.
(f) Place The Trigger Column As C
A window emerges, here you have to fill two blanks, the first is Webhook URL and the other is Trigger Column. Since our last data entry column is C, we shall add C in the trigger column. And in the next step, we will learn to place the Webhook URL.
Step 2: Sign into Pabbly Connect
Let’s sign in to Pabbly Connect to begin the process of data filtration. Now either fill in the details manually or sign-up through your Google account.
Step 3: Access Pabbly Connect
After signing up you will enter the dashboard, here access Connect (a service of Pabbly for automated integration & data transmission).
Step 4: Create A New Workflow
(a) Click on Create New Workflow
Now, let us create a new workflow by clicking on the button ‘Create New Workflow’ which is located at the right uppermost corner of the dashboard.
(b) Give a Name to Workflow
When you click on the blue button ‘Create New Workflow’, a pop-up spring out asking you to name the workflow. You can give any name to workflow according to your discretion, here I am naming it as “Google Sheets To PEM”. After naming the workflow, press the blue save button.
(c) Chose App And Method
After pressing the save button, a window emerges, here in this window, you will be building the mechanism for triggers to work. The default mode of ‘Choose App’ is Webhook. Now click it and a drop-down emerges, here select Google Sheets.
Once the Google Sheets app is selected, an option automatically appears called Chose Method. Here change the method as a spreadsheet row.
(d) Copy The Webhook URL
Copy the Webhook URL, just by pressing the ‘Copy’ button. Then press the button ‘Capture Webhook Response’, on clicking it will a response ‘Waiting For Webhook Response’.
(e) Paste The Webhook URL
Now, let’s go back to Google Sheet for a minute, and in the initial set up dialogue box let’s paste this URL. After pasting the URL, press the ‘Send Test’ button.
It will show a message in red letters that the data has been successfully sent to Pabbly Connect.
(f) Preview The Data Capture
Here, you will see that the data has been automatically been captured by Pabbly Connect and will be reflected in the trigger window box. Now press the save button.
(g) Click Send On Event In Google Sheets
Now click on ‘Send on Event’ by clicking on ‘Add-on’ from the upper-taskbar in Google Sheet. Then click on Pabbly Connect and then ‘Send on Event’. This will ensure, every time a data in column C is added, the data in the whole row will be inserted into Pabbly Connect automatically and that too in real-time!!
So, this whole process ensures that Google Sheet is now connected with Pabbly Connect. Now we will integrate Pabbly Connect with Pabbly Email Marketing.
Step 5: Build API Window
(a) Change Choose API
You will find a (+) button beneath the first trigger window, let’s create another trigger window by clicking on this (+) button. Once the trigger window has been created, change the ‘Choose App’ from default API to Pabbly Email Marketing. Now since we are adding new subscribers, we have to change Çhoose Action Event from default GET to Add Subscribers.
(b) Click on Connect With Pabbly Email Marketing
After mentioning your ‘Choose Method’, now click on the blue button located at the end of the trigger box called ‘ Connect With Pabbly Email Marketing’
(c) Add Credentials

Then change the entries to single this will ensure there is only entry per trigger not multiple. Likewise, from the drop-down change the email and name accordingly.
Then after placing these data, click on ‘Save & Send Test Request’.
Step 7: Preview Result
Once you click on ‘Save & Send Test Request’, the data from the Google Sheets will be auto-populated into Pabbly Email Marketing’s subscriber’s list. In my case, as you can see the data has been inserted in the Subscribers’list called as Google Contact List.
