To start integrating Google Forms with SendGrid, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. Open your web browser and go to the Pabbly Connect website by typing in the URL: pabby.com/connect. This is where you will set up the automation workflow.

If you already have an account, simply sign in. If not, you can sign up for free, which takes only a couple of minutes. Signing up also grants you 100 free tasks monthly to practice using Pabbly Connect.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After logging in, navigate to the dashboard of Pabbly Connect. Here, you will create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create New Workflow’ button and name it something like ‘Google Forms to SendGrid’.

• Click on the Trigger window and select Google Forms.
• Choose the event ‘New Response Received’.
• Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.

Once done, this webhook URL will be used to connect Google Forms to Pabbly Connect. This allows the integration to start functioning when there are new form submissions.

3. Setting Up Google Forms to Capture Leads

Next, you’ll need to set up your Google Form to capture leads. Open Google Forms and create a new form with fields such as First Name, Last Name, Email, and Contact Number. Make sure to set up the form to collect the necessary information from your leads.

To connect this form with Pabbly Connect, you will need to link it to a Google Sheet. Go to the ‘Responses’ tab in Google Forms and click on the green Sheets icon to create a new Google Sheet. This sheet will automatically populate with form responses.

4. Configuring Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect Webhooks

In Google Sheets, go to ‘Extensions’ and select Pabbly Connect Webhooks. If you haven’t installed it yet, you can do so from the ‘Get Add-ons’ option. Once installed, click on ‘Initial Setup’ to configure the webhook.

• Paste the webhook URL you copied from Pabbly Connect.
• Set the trigger column to the last data column of your sheet.
• Click on ‘Submit’ and then ‘Send Test’ to ensure the connection works.

Once you have configured this, any new responses in your Google Form will automatically be sent to Pabbly Connect via the Google Sheet.

5. Adding Subscribers in SendGrid via Pabbly Connect

Now that you have set up Google Forms and Google Sheets, it’s time to add subscribers to SendGrid. In Pabbly Connect, select SendGrid as your action application and choose the event ‘Add or Update a Contact’.

To connect SendGrid, you will need to enter your API key. You can obtain this by logging into your SendGrid account, navigating to ‘Settings’, then ‘API Keys’. Create a new API key with full access and copy it back to Pabbly Connect.

Select the list in SendGrid where you want to add the contacts. Map the fields from Google Forms to SendGrid fields. Click ‘Save’ and send a test request.

After successfully completing these steps, you will see that new subscribers from Google Forms are automatically added to your SendGrid account, streamlining your email marketing efforts.

Conclusion

Using Pabbly Connect, you can efficiently automate the process of adding Google Forms leads as subscribers in SendGrid. This integration saves time and reduces manual effort, allowing you to focus on other aspects of your business.
