2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After accessing Pabbly Connect, you need to create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button, which will prompt you to select a workflow builder. Choose the new workflow builder for a modern experience. Next, name your workflow, for example, ‘Product Updates Email’.

• Click on the ‘Create’ button to finalize your workflow setup.
• You will be prompted to add a trigger, which is essential for initiating your workflow.

Select Google Sheets as your trigger app since you want the workflow to start when a new entry is added. Then, choose the event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. This will trigger the workflow whenever there is a new entry in your Google Sheet.

3. Connecting Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect

To establish a connection between Google Sheets and Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Connect’ button. A webhook URL will be generated. Copy this URL, as you will need it to connect with Google Sheets.

Now, open your Google Sheet where you have the product updates. Go to Extensions > Add-ons > Get Add-ons and search for the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on. If it’s not installed, install it. Once installed, go back to Extensions and select Pabbly Connect Webhooks > Initial Setup.

• Paste the copied webhook URL into the setup dialog box.
• Select the trigger column, which should be the last data column (e.g., column E).

Click ‘Submit’ and enable ‘Send on Event’ to ensure that data is automatically fetched by Pabbly Connect whenever a new entry is made.

4. Setting Up the Action Step to Send Emails

After successfully connecting Google Sheets, the next step is to set up the action that will send the email through Gmail. In your Pabbly Connect workflow, click on the ‘Add Action Step’ option. Select Gmail as the action app and choose the event as ‘Send Email’.

Click on the ‘Connect’ button to establish a connection with Gmail. You can either use an existing connection or create a new one. Once connected, you will be prompted to enter the recipient’s email address, which you can map from the data received from Google Sheets.

Map the recipient’s email from the Google Sheet response. Provide a subject line for the email, such as ‘Regarding Product Update’. Compose the email content, including product details and updates, which can also be mapped from the Google Sheet.

Finally, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to see if the email is sent successfully. Check your Gmail to confirm receipt of the email.
