1. Introduction to Pabbly Connect for Google Forms and Mailgun Integration

Pabbly Connect is an automation platform that simplifies the integration process between Google Forms and Mailgun. It allows users to automatically create Mailgun members based on Google Forms submissions without any coding knowledge.

This tutorial will guide you through the steps to set up this integration using Pabbly Connect. By the end, you will be able to automate the process of adding new members to your Mailgun account when someone registers through your Google Forms.

2. Accessing Pabbly Connect and Creating a New Workflow

To start, navigate to the Pabbly Connect website and sign in to your account. If you do not have an account, you can easily create one for free. Once signed in, you will see various Pabbly applications, but for this integration, we will focus on Pabbly Connect.

Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to begin setting up your automation. You will need to name your workflow, such as ‘Create Mailgun Member on Google Forms Submission’. After naming your workflow, select a folder to save it, and click on ‘Create’ to proceed.

3. Setting Up Google Forms as the Trigger Application

In this step, we will configure Google Forms as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Start by selecting Google Forms from the list of applications. You will then need to choose the trigger event, which is ‘New Response Received’. This event will initiate the workflow whenever a new submission is made.

After selecting the trigger event, Pabbly Connect will provide you with a webhook URL. Copy this URL, as it will be used to connect your Google Forms to the workflow. Next, open your Google Forms account and ensure that the last question in your form is marked as required, as this will serve as the trigger for the workflow.

• Select Google Forms as the trigger application.
• Choose ‘New Response Received’ as the trigger event.
• Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.

Finally, link your Google Form to this webhook by accessing the form’s settings and adding the webhook URL in the appropriate section. This connection will ensure that every new submission triggers the workflow in Pabbly Connect.

4. Connecting Mailgun as the Action Application

Once your Google Forms trigger is set up, the next step is to configure Mailgun as the action application in Pabbly Connect. Search for Mailgun and select it as your action application. Choose the action event ‘Add New Mailing List Member’ to specify what should happen when a new response is received.

To connect your Mailgun account, you will need your Mailgun API key and domain. Access your Mailgun account settings to retrieve these details. After entering the required information in Pabbly Connect, you will need to select the mailing list where the new member should be added.

• Select Mailgun as the action application.
• Choose ‘Add New Mailing List Member’ as the action event.
• Enter your Mailgun API key and domain.

After saving the connection, you can map the fields from the Google Forms response to the Mailgun member fields. This mapping allows Pabbly Connect to dynamically insert the correct data into Mailgun whenever a new submission is made.

5. Testing the Integration and Finalizing the Workflow

With both Google Forms and Mailgun configured in Pabbly Connect, it’s time to test the integration. Submit a test response through your Google Form to see if the workflow triggers correctly. After submitting, go back to your Mailgun account to verify that the new member has been added to your mailing list.

If everything is set up correctly, you should see the new member listed in your Mailgun mailing list. This confirms that Pabbly Connect is successfully automating the process of member creation based on Google Forms submissions. If you encounter any issues, double-check your webhook URL and API key entries.

By using Pabbly Connect, you can automate this process seamlessly, ensuring that your mailing list is always up-to-date with new event registrations.
