1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To start sending daily automated messages on Google Chat, you need to access Pabbly Connect. Open a new tab and search for pabby.com/connect. This will take you to the landing page of Pabbly Connect.

If you’re a new user, you can sign up for free and receive 100 free tasks each month. This allows you to test the automation before committing to a paid plan. Once you have logged in, you can create a workflow to automate your daily messages.

2. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In your Pabbly Connect dashboard, you will begin by setting up a trigger. For this automation, select the ‘Schedule by Pabbly’ application. This will allow you to send messages at a specific time each day.

• Choose the event as ‘Schedule this workflow’.
• Set the frequency to daily and select the time you wish the messages to be sent, such as 10:00 AM.

After saving this step, your workflow will be set to run automatically every day at the specified time. This is how Pabbly Connect facilitates the scheduling of your messages.

3. Configuring Google Chat for Automated Messages

Next, you will configure Google Chat to send the automated messages. Add an action step in your Pabbly Connect workflow and select Google Chat as the application.

• Choose the event as ‘Create Custom Card Message’.
• You will need to provide the chat webhook URL to send messages.

To obtain the webhook URL, go to your Google Chat space, navigate to ‘Apps and Integrations’, and click on ‘Add Webhook’. Name your webhook and copy the URL provided. This is crucial as it connects Pabbly Connect to your Google Chat for message delivery.

4. Customizing Your Daily Message

Once you have the webhook URL, you can customize the message that will be sent daily. In the Pabbly Connect action step, enter the header title, subtitle, and the main text of your message.

For example, set the header title as ‘Good Morning Team’. Add a subtitle like ‘Let’s stay focused and productive today’. Include a message text reminding the team to review their tasks.

After customizing the message, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will send a test message to your Google Chat to ensure everything is working correctly. This feature of Pabbly Connect allows for real-time testing of your automated messages.

5. Finalizing the Automation Workflow

After successfully sending the test message, your automation is ready. Every day at 10:00 AM, Pabbly Connect will execute this workflow automatically, sending your customized message to Google Chat.

You can modify the message at any time or use the same workflow for different messages or applications such as Microsoft Teams, Slack, or Discord. This flexibility showcases the power of Pabbly Connect in automating communication tasks across various platforms.

Conclusion

In conclusion, using Pabbly Connect to send daily automated messages on Google Chat is a straightforward process. By following the steps outlined, you can ensure your team receives timely notifications without manual effort. This automation saves time and enhances communication efficiency within your team.
