1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Cake Orders

To begin taking cake orders online and sending WhatsApp messages, first, you need to access Pabbly Connect. This platform allows seamless integration between Google Forms and WhatsApp.

After logging into your Pabbly Connect account, you’ll want to create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and name it something relevant, like ‘Cake Orders to WhatsApp’.

2. Creating a Google Form for Cake Orders

Now, let’s set up a Google Form to collect cake orders. This form will be the starting point for your customers to place their orders.

• Open Google Forms and create a new form.
• Add fields for customer name, WhatsApp number, cake type, delivery date, and any special requests.
• Make sure to set the WhatsApp number field to accept only valid phone numbers.

Once your form is set up, you can share it with customers. This form will automatically collect responses that Pabbly Connect will use to send messages.

3. Integrating Google Forms with Pabbly Connect

Next, you will need to connect your Google Form to Pabbly Connect. In your workflow, select Google Forms as the trigger application.

Choose the trigger event as ‘New Response in Spreadsheet’. This allows Pabbly Connect to monitor responses in real-time. Link your Google account and select the specific form you created for cake orders.

4. Sending WhatsApp Messages Using Pabbly Connect

After setting up the Google Forms trigger, the next step is to send a WhatsApp message to customers. For this, select WhatsApp as the action application in Pabbly Connect.

Choose the action event as ‘Send WhatsApp Message’. You will need to connect your WhatsApp account and configure the message template. Be sure to personalize the message with customer details collected from the Google Form, such as:

• Customer Name
• Cake Type
• Delivery Date

This ensures that customers receive a confirmation message right after they place their order.

5. Testing the Integration

Finally, it’s crucial to test your integration to ensure everything works smoothly. Submit a test order through your Google Form to see if the WhatsApp message is sent correctly.

Check your WhatsApp for the confirmation message. If everything is set up correctly, you should receive a message confirming the order details. This testing phase is essential to verify the functionality of Pabbly Connect in your workflow.
