1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To begin the process of adding Canny comments to Google Sheets, you must first access Pabbly Connect. Start by visiting the Pabbly Connect website where you can sign up or log in if you already have an account. This platform is essential as it enables the automation between Canny and Google Sheets.

Once logged in, you will see various applications available. Click on the option for Pabbly Connect to enter the dashboard where you can create a new workflow for your integration. This is the first step in facilitating the connection between your Canny comments and Google Sheets.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After accessing Pabbly Connect, the next step is to create a workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located in the top right corner of your dashboard. You will be prompted to name your workflow; for this integration, name it ‘Add Canny Comments in Google Sheets’.

• Select a folder to save your workflow, preferably one named Canny Automations.
• After naming and selecting the folder, click on the ‘Create’ button to proceed.

This action will set the stage for defining the trigger and action components of your workflow. Remember, the trigger will be Canny, and the action will be Google Sheets, which is crucial for the automation process.

3. Configuring the Trigger with Canny

In this section, you will configure the trigger for your workflow using Pabbly Connect. Click on the trigger section and select Canny as your trigger application. For the trigger event, choose ‘Webhook Configuration’ to capture comments made on your Canny posts.

After selecting the trigger, a unique webhook URL will be generated. Copy this URL as you will need to paste it into your Canny account settings. This step is vital as it allows Pabbly Connect to receive data from Canny whenever a new comment is posted.

4. Connecting Canny to Pabbly Connect

To link Canny with Pabbly Connect, go to your Canny account and navigate to the profile settings. From there, select ‘API’ and find the ‘Webhooks’ option. Paste the copied webhook URL into the designated field and click ‘Add’ to establish the connection.

Once the webhook is successfully added, return to Pabbly Connect. The system will indicate that it is waiting for a webhook response. To test this, post a dummy comment on your Canny account. Once the comment is submitted, check Pabbly Connect to confirm that it has captured the response correctly.

5. Adding Action to Google Sheets

With the trigger set, the next step is to define the action in Google Sheets using Pabbly Connect. Click on the action section and select Google Sheets as the action application. Choose ‘Add New Row’ as the action event, which will allow you to record the comment details in your Google Sheets.

Connect your Google Sheets account by clicking on ‘Add New Connection’ and authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Google Sheets. After connecting, select the spreadsheet where you want to save the comments. Map the fields such as date, post title, comment, and username to ensure that all necessary information is recorded accurately.

Finally, test the integration by submitting another comment on your Canny account. Check your Google Sheets to verify that the comment details have been added correctly, confirming that the automation works seamlessly.
