1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for WhatsApp Integration

To track client interactions from WhatsApp in Google Sheets, the first step is to set up Pabbly Connect. Begin by visiting the Pabbly Connect website and signing in or creating a new account. This platform is crucial as it facilitates the integration between WhatsApp and Google Sheets.

Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard where you can manage your automation workflows. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to start a new automation process. This is where you will define how data from WhatsApp will be captured and sent to Google Sheets.

2. Configuring the Trigger for WhatsApp Messages

The next step involves setting up the trigger in Pabbly Connect. Select ‘Pabbly Chatflow’ as your trigger application. This application will capture new messages received on WhatsApp. Choose the event as ‘New Message Received’ to initiate the workflow whenever a client sends a message.

• Select ‘Pabbly Chatflow’ as the trigger app.
• Choose the trigger event as ‘New Message Received’.
• Connect your WhatsApp account to Pabbly Chatflow.

After setting up the trigger, you’ll receive a webhook URL. This URL needs to be copied and pasted into your WhatsApp settings to ensure that messages are sent to Pabbly Connect for processing.

3. Setting Up the Action to Send Data to Google Sheets

With the trigger configured, the next step is to set up the action in Pabbly Connect to send the captured WhatsApp messages to Google Sheets. Choose ‘Google Sheets’ as your action application and select the event ‘Add New Row’. This will allow you to add a new row in your Google Sheets for each new WhatsApp message.

Connect your Google Sheets account by authorizing Pabbly Connect to access your Google account. Once connected, select the specific spreadsheet where you want the data to be saved. You will then map the fields from the WhatsApp messages to the corresponding columns in your Google Sheet.

4. Testing the Automation Workflow

After setting up the action, it’s essential to test the workflow in Pabbly Connect. Send a test message through WhatsApp to see if the automation works as intended. Check your Google Sheets to verify if the new row has been added with the correct data from the WhatsApp message.

If everything is set up correctly, you should see the client details such as name, mobile number, and any other information captured in your Google Sheet. This confirms that the integration between WhatsApp and Google Sheets through Pabbly Connect is functioning properly.

5. Finalizing Your Integration with Pabbly Connect

Once you are satisfied with the test results, you can finalize your integration setup in Pabbly Connect. Make sure to save your workflow and enable it. This will ensure that all future WhatsApp messages are automatically logged into your Google Sheets without any manual effort.

Now, every time a client sends a message on WhatsApp, their information will be captured in real-time in your Google Sheet, streamlining your client interaction tracking process. This automation not only saves time but also reduces the risk of human error.
