1. Introduction to Pabbly Connect for MySQL Deletion

In this tutorial, we will learn how to delete a MySQL row from Google Sheets using Pabbly Connect. This automation allows you to streamline your workflow by removing outdated lead information from your MySQL database whenever the status is updated in Google Sheets.

First, you need to access Pabbly Connect and create an account if you haven’t done so. Once logged in, you can create a new workflow that connects Google Sheets with your MySQL database to automate the deletion process.

2. Setting Up the Workflow in Pabbly Connect

The first step is to create a new workflow in Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button, and name your workflow, for example, ‘Google Sheets to MySQL’. Select a folder to save this workflow and click on ‘Create’ to proceed.

• Click on ‘Create Workflow’
• Name your workflow
• Select a folder

After creating the workflow, you will see two windows: a trigger window and an action window. The trigger window is where you will specify what event will start the automation.

3. Connecting Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect

In the trigger step, select Google Sheets as the app. Choose the trigger event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. This setup allows Pabbly Connect to monitor changes in your Google Sheets for lead statuses.

Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect and add it to your Google Sheets. Go to Extensions > Add-ons > Get Add-ons, search for ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’, install it, and refresh your Google Sheets. Then, set up the webhook by selecting the sheet and entering the copied URL.

4. Setting Up Filter Condition in Pabbly Connect

After connecting Google Sheets, the next step is to set a filter condition. This ensures that only rows with the status ‘lost’ will trigger the deletion in MySQL. In the action step, select ‘Filter’ and set the condition to check if the status equals ‘lost’. using Pabbly Connect

• Select Filter in Action Step
• Set condition to ‘Status equals lost’

Once the filter is set, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure that the filter condition works correctly. If the status is ‘lost’, the workflow will continue to the next action, which is deleting the row in MySQL.

5. Deleting the Row in MySQL

The final step is to delete the row from MySQL. In the action step, select MySQL as the app and the action event as ‘Delete Rows’. Connect your MySQL account by entering the database details.

Next, specify the table name and the criteria for deletion. We will use the email address from Google Sheets to find the corresponding row in MySQL. After mapping the email address, set the limit to 1 for deleting a single row. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to complete the setup.

Once the test is successful, you can go back to your MySQL database to confirm that the row has been deleted. This automation using Pabbly Connect allows you to efficiently manage your leads by removing outdated information automatically.
