Once approved, you will receive a webhook URL to connect Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect.


3. Setting Up the Trigger with Google Sheets

To set up the trigger, copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect. Open your Google Sheets, and install the “Pabbly Connect Webhooks” add-on from the Google Workspace Marketplace.

After installation, refresh your Google Sheets and navigate to Extensions > Pabbly Connect Webhooks > Initial Setup. Paste the webhook URL and specify the trigger column, which is the final data column.

  • Test the connection by clicking “Send Test”.
  • Enable “Send on Event” to automate data capture.

With this setup, any new data in Google Sheets will trigger the automation process in Pabbly Connect.


4. Connecting to Zoho CRM

Next, you need to connect Pabbly Connect to your Zoho CRM account. In the Pabbly Connect workflow, select Zoho CRM and enter your domain, which you can find in your Zoho CRM URL.

  • Select lead source and map the fields dynamically.
  • Use the “Text Formatter by Pabbly” to split names if needed.
  • Click “Save and Send Request” to create a new contact.

After this step, you will see a successful response confirming the new contact creation in Zoho CRM, facilitated by Pabbly Connect.

To upload multiple contacts at once, return to Google Sheets and select Extensions > Pabbly Connect Webhooks > Send All Data. This action will import all customer details as new contacts in Zoho CRM.

After initiating the bulk upload, refresh your Zoho CRM account to verify that all contacts have been added successfully. This streamlined process is a testament to the power of Pabbly Connect in automating workflows.

  • Ensure all necessary fields are mapped correctly before sending.
