2. Create a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In the Pabbly Connect dashboard, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. A dialog box will appear prompting you to name your workflow. For this integration, name it something like ‘Gmail to Heyzine to Google Sheets Integration’. This will help you identify the workflow later.

• Click on ‘Create’ to set up your workflow.
• Select ‘Email Parser’ as your trigger application.
• This feature allows you to extract data from incoming emails.

After selecting ‘Email Parser’, you will be provided with a unique email address. Copy this email address as it will be used to forward emails containing attachments. This is how Pabbly Connect facilitates the automation process, allowing you to capture email attachments seamlessly.

3. Forward Emails to Pabbly Connect’s Email Parser

Now, go to your Gmail account. Access the settings by clicking on the gear icon and selecting ‘See all settings’. Navigate to the ‘Forwarding and POP/IMAP’ tab to set up email forwarding.

• Click on ‘Add a forwarding address’ and paste the email address from Pabbly Connect.
• Follow the prompts to verify the forwarding address.
• Change the forwarding settings to ‘Forward a copy of incoming mail to this address’.

After saving the changes, any emails sent to your Gmail account will be forwarded to the Pabbly Connect email parser, enabling you to capture the attachments automatically. This step is crucial for the automation process facilitated by Pabbly Connect.

4. Create the Flipbook Using Heyzine

After setting up email forwarding, return to Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Recapture Email Parser Response’. This step will allow you to receive the email content and attachments that have been forwarded. Once you send an email with a PDF attachment, Pabbly Connect will capture the response.

Next, select Heyzine as the action application to create the flipbook. You will need to connect your Heyzine account by providing the API key. Once connected, map the data from the email response, including the PDF URL and title, to the corresponding fields in Heyzine. This mapping is essential for the automation to work correctly.

After mapping the necessary fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. You should receive a response containing the link to the newly created flipbook. This demonstrates how Pabbly Connect automates the process of converting email attachments into flipbooks seamlessly.

5. Store Flipbook Links in Google Sheets

Finally, to store the flipbook link, select Google Sheets as the next action application in Pabbly Connect. Connect your Google Sheets account and choose the option to add a new row. Ensure you have a pre-existing sheet titled ‘Flipbook Data’ where the URLs will be stored.

Map the title and URL fields from the Heyzine response to the appropriate columns in Google Sheets. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to confirm the integration.

Upon successful execution, the flipbook link will appear in your Google Sheets. This integration showcases the power of Pabbly Connect in streamlining workflows between Gmail, Heyzine, and Google Sheets, ensuring that all your attachments are efficiently converted and stored.
