Click on ‘Connect’ and then select ‘Add New Connection’ to connect your Gmail account. Once connected, you will need to allow access to your Google account.

Map the recipient’s email address from the Jotform response. Set the sender’s name as ‘Pabbly Connect’. Choose HTML as the email content type.

In the email content, include a message that utilizes HTML code to convert the URL into a hyperlink text. For example, write ‘Please click on Pay Now to make the payment for the Spoken English notes’.

After setting up the email, click on ‘Send Test Request’ in Pabbly Connect. This will trigger the email to be sent to the mapped recipient. Check your Gmail inbox to confirm receipt of the email.
