1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Jotform and MySQL Integration

To bulk import users to MySQL from Jotform submissions, you need to set up Pabbly Connect. Start by signing up for a free account on the Pabbly Connect landing page. Once signed in, navigate to the dashboard and click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button.

Here, you can name your workflow, for instance, ‘Import Data’. After naming, click on the ‘Create’ button. This will take you to a new page where you can set up the trigger and action modules necessary for your automation.

2. Configuring Jotform as the Trigger Application

In the trigger module, select Jotform as your application since it collects user data. Choose the trigger event as ‘New Response’. Pabbly Connect will provide you with a webhook URL that facilitates the connection with Jotform.

• Open your Jotform dashboard and select the form you are using.
• Navigate to the ‘Settings’ tab and click on ‘Integrations’.
• Select ‘Webhooks’ and paste the copied URL into the ‘Add Webhook’ field.

Once the webhook is set, click on ‘Complete Integration’. This step establishes a link between Jotform and Pabbly Connect, allowing you to capture form submissions.

3. Testing the Webhook Response from Jotform

After setting up the webhook, you need to perform a test submission to ensure that data is captured correctly. Fill out the form with sample data and submit it. This action will trigger the webhook and send the data back to Pabbly Connect. using Pabbly Connect

Check the response in Pabbly Connect to see if the data appears correctly. If you toggled the ‘Simple Response’ button to off, the data should display in an array format, which is essential for the next steps in your workflow.

4. Using Iterator to Process Form Submission Data

To handle multiple entries, you will use the Iterator feature in Pabbly Connect. This tool allows you to separate the data into individual entries. In the action step, search for ‘Iterator’ and select it.

• Choose the array from the previous step to segregate the data.
• Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to check if the first entry appears correctly.

After confirming that the data is separated, you are ready to send it to MySQL for insertion.

5. Inserting Data into MySQL Database

Now it’s time to connect to MySQL and insert the data. Search for the MySQL application in Pabbly Connect and select the action event as ‘Insert Row’. Click on the connect button and add a new connection using your database credentials. using Pabbly Connect

Map the fields from the iterator step to the corresponding fields in your MySQL database. For example, map the first name, last name, email, and phone number fields accordingly. After mapping, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify that the data inserts correctly into your MySQL table.

Conclusion

Using Pabbly Connect, you can efficiently bulk import users into MySQL from Jotform submissions. This automation not only saves time but also eliminates manual data entry errors. Set up your workflow once, and enjoy seamless integration for all future form submissions.
