1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start the process of sending new Formsite form submissions to Google Contacts, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. Begin by typing the URL Pabbly.com/connect in your browser. This will take you to the Pabbly Connect landing page.

On the right side of the page, you will see options to sign in or sign up for free. If you are an existing user, click on sign in. For new users, click on sign up, which will only take a couple of minutes. Upon signing up, you will receive 100 free tasks to start with.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once you are signed in, navigate to the all applications page and select Pabbly Connect. On the dashboard, click on create workflow. A dialog box will prompt you to name your workflow. Name it something relevant, such as ‘Formsite to Google Contacts Integration’.

• Click on Create to proceed.
• Choose Formsite as your trigger application.
• Select New Form Result as the trigger event.

This setup will allow you to automate the process of capturing new form submissions and sending them directly to Google Contacts through Pabbly Connect.

3. Setting Up Formsite for Integration

After selecting the trigger event, a webhook URL will be generated by Pabbly Connect. Copy this URL as it will serve as the bridge between Formsite and Pabbly Connect. Next, log in to your Formsite account.

In Formsite, go to Support and then to Form Settings. Here, you will find an option for Integrations. Click on it and select Server Post. You will see an option to edit the server URL. Delete the existing URL and paste the webhook URL you copied from Pabbly Connect. Ensure the message format is set to JSON and then click Save.

4. Testing the Integration with Pabbly Connect

Once the Formsite integration is set up, go back to Pabbly Connect to test the connection. You will be prompted to perform a test submission. Open your Formsite contact form and fill it out with dummy data, such as a name, email address, and phone number, then click Submit.

• Check Pabbly Connect for the API response to ensure data is captured correctly.
• Verify that the email, name, and mobile number appear in the response.

If the data is received successfully, you can proceed to set up the action application, which will be Google Contacts.

5. Creating a Contact in Google Contacts

In Pabbly Connect, select Google Contacts as your action application. Choose Create Contact as the action event. Click on Connect, and then sign in to your Google account to authorize the connection.

Once authorized, you will need to map the information from the Formsite submission to the fields in Google Contacts. You will need to split the name into first and last names using the Pabbly Text Formatter. Add an action step for this and specify the name to split using a space as the separator. Make sure to save and send a test request.

Finally, map the first name, last name, email, and phone number from the previous steps, and click on Save and Send Test Request. After submission, check your Google Contacts to confirm that the new contact has been created successfully.
