1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Google Forms Integration

To create Omnisend contacts from Google Forms responses, start by accessing Pabbly Connect. First, sign up for a free account on Pabbly Connect if you haven’t already. After signing in, navigate to your dashboard and click on ‘Create Workflow’ to initiate the integration process.

In the workflow setup, name your workflow appropriately, like ‘Google Forms to Omnisend.’ This naming will help identify the automation later. Once the workflow is created, you will see two windows: the trigger window and the action window, where you will set up the integration.


2. Connecting Google Forms to Pabbly Connect

In the trigger window, search for ‘Google Forms’ and select it as your app. Then, choose the trigger event as ‘New Response Received’. This setup allows Pabbly Connect to capture new form submissions automatically.

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

Next, go to your Google Form and click on the responses tab. From there, create a new Google Sheet to store the responses. This sheet will be linked to Pabbly Connect to send form data seamlessly.


3. Setting Up the Webhook in Google Sheets

In your Google Sheet, navigate to the Extensions menu, select ‘Add-ons,’ and then ‘Get add-ons.’ Search for ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ and install it. After installation, refresh your Google Sheet to ensure the add-on is active. using Pabbly Connect

Once refreshed, go back to Extensions, find the Pabbly Connect Webhooks option, and select ‘Initial Setup.’ Here, you will enter the copied webhook URL, select the appropriate sheet, and define the trigger column, which is typically the last data entry column.

  • Paste the webhook URL in the setup form.
  • Select the sheet that contains form responses.
  • Choose the trigger column where data will be entered.

After completing the setup, enable the ‘Send on Event’ option. This action tells Pabbly Connect to send data to your workflow whenever a new row is added to the Google Sheet.


4. Creating a Subscriber in Omnisend via Pabbly Connect

Now that your Google Form is connected to Pabbly Connect, the next step is to add the data to Omnisend. In the action window of your workflow, search for ‘Omnisend’ and select it. Choose ‘Create Subscriber’ as the action event, which will allow you to add new contacts automatically.

To connect your Omnisend account, you will need an API key. Log in to your Omnisend account, navigate to the profile settings, and find the API Keys section. Create a new API key and copy it.

Select Omnisend as the action app. Choose ‘Create Subscriber’ as the action event. Paste the API key from your Omnisend account.

After connecting, map the fields from your Google Forms response to the corresponding fields in Omnisend. This includes the email address, phone number, and other details that you want to capture.


5. Finalizing the Integration and Testing

With all the mappings done, the last step is to test your integration. Submit a test response through your Google Form to ensure data flows correctly into Pabbly Connect and subsequently into Omnisend. You should be able to see the new subscriber in your Omnisend account shortly after submission.

Monitor the response in Pabbly Connect to confirm that the automation is functioning as expected. If everything is set up correctly, the new subscriber should appear in your Omnisend audience, confirming the successful integration.

Now, every time a user submits the Google Form, their information will automatically be added as a subscriber in Omnisend, thanks to Pabbly Connect. This automation saves time and ensures that your contact list is always up-to-date.
