1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Integration

In this tutorial, we will use Pabbly Connect to automate the process of creating a Drip subscriber from Google Sheets. Begin by signing up for a free account on Pabbly Connect if you haven’t done so already. Once you access your dashboard, click on ‘Create Workflow’ to initiate the automation setup.

After naming your workflow (e.g., ‘Google Sheets to Drip’), you will see two windows: the trigger window and the action window. This is where you will set up the automation by defining the trigger from Google Sheets and the action to add a subscriber in Drip.

2. Configuring Google Sheets as the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

To set Google Sheets as the trigger, select it from the list of applications in the trigger window of Pabbly Connect. Choose the event ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’ to capture new subscriber details added to your sheet.

• Select Google Sheets as the app.
• Choose ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’ as the trigger event.
• Copy the generated webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.

Next, go to your Google Sheets, navigate to Extensions, and select Add-ons > Get Add-ons. Search for ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ and install it. After installation, refresh your Google Sheets to ensure the add-on is active. You can then proceed to set up the initial configuration by pasting the webhook URL and selecting the trigger column for data entry.

3. Sending Test Data from Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect

Once the Google Sheets add-on is set up, you need to send test data to Pabbly Connect. In the add-on menu, click on ‘Initial Setup’ and select the sheet from which you want to send data. Paste the webhook URL and specify the trigger column where new data will be entered.

After setting this up, click on ‘Send Test’. This action will send the first row of data from your Google Sheet to Pabbly Connect. Once the test data is sent successfully, you will see a confirmation message in the Pabbly Connect workflow.

4. Integrating Drip with Pabbly Connect

Now that you have successfully set up the trigger, the next step is to integrate Drip as the action in Pabbly Connect. Search for Drip in the action step and select ‘Create or Update Subscriber’ from the action event options.

• Connect your Drip account by entering the API token.
• Select the account ID associated with your Drip account.
• Map the fields from the Google Sheets data to the appropriate fields in Drip.

After mapping the necessary fields such as first name, last name, and email, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. If successful, a new subscriber will be created in your Drip account, confirming that the integration is working as intended.

5. Testing the Automation in Real Time

To ensure that the automation works seamlessly, test it in real time by adding a new subscriber’s details into your Google Sheet. For example, enter a new subscriber’s name, email, and city in a new row.

After entering the data, refresh your Drip account’s subscribers list. You should see the newly added subscriber appear instantly, confirming that the automation set up through Pabbly Connect is functioning correctly. This real-time testing demonstrates the effectiveness of the automation process.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can easily automate the process of creating Drip subscribers from Google Sheets using Pabbly Connect. This integration not only saves time but also ensures that your subscriber list is updated automatically with new leads.
