1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Slack Integration

To change the bot name in Slack using Pabbly Connect, you first need to access the platform. Log into your Pabbly Connect account and create a new workflow. This workflow will facilitate the integration between Google Forms and Slack, allowing you to send messages with customized bot names.

Once you are in the Pabbly Connect dashboard, click on ‘Create Workflow’. Name your workflow appropriately, for instance, ‘Google Forms to Slack Bot Name Change’. After naming the workflow, select Google Forms as the trigger application. This is the first step in setting up your integration.

2. Configuring Google Forms as the Trigger

In this section, you will configure Google Forms as the trigger for your workflow in Pabbly Connect. After selecting Google Forms as the trigger application, choose the trigger event as ‘New Response in Spreadsheet’. This means that every time a new response is submitted in Google Forms, it will trigger the workflow.

• Select your Google account to connect.
• Choose the specific form you want to connect.
• Test the trigger to ensure it is working correctly.

After setting up the Google Forms trigger, proceed to the next step where you will configure Slack as the action application in Pabbly Connect.

3. Configuring Slack as the Action Application

In this step, you will select Slack as the action application in Pabbly Connect. Choose the action event as ‘Send Channel Message’. This allows you to send messages to your desired Slack channel whenever a new response is received from Google Forms.

Connect your Slack account by following the prompts. You will need to authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Slack workspace. Once connected, select the channel where you want the messages to be sent. This is crucial for ensuring that the messages are sent to the correct location.

4. Customizing the Bot Name and Icon

Now that you have set up both Google Forms and Slack in Pabbly Connect, it’s time to customize the bot name and icon. In the action settings, you will find fields for the bot name and bot icon. Enter the desired name for your bot, for example, ‘Google Forms Bot’. This name will be displayed in Slack whenever a message is sent.

• Enter the bot name you want to display in Slack.
• Paste the URL of the image you want to use as the bot icon.
• Adjust any additional message options as necessary.

Once you have customized the bot name and icon, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to test the integration. This will allow you to see how the message appears in your Slack channel.

5. Testing the Integration in Slack

After saving your settings in Pabbly Connect, it’s important to test the integration. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ and check your Slack channel for the new message. You should see the message sent by the bot with the name you specified.

If everything is set up correctly, the message will appear in your Slack channel with the bot name you entered, confirming that the integration works as intended. You can further customize the bot name dynamically by mapping fields from the Google Form responses.
