1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start using Pabbly Connect, first, navigate to the Pabbly Connect website. You can easily access it by searching for ‘Pabbly Connect’ or directly entering the URL in your browser. Make sure to sign up for a free account if you are a new user.

Once logged in, you will be directed to the dashboard. Here, you can create a new workflow by clicking on the ‘Add Workflow’ button. This is where you will set up the integration between JotForm, Airtable, and Gmail, allowing for a seamless lead management process.

2. Creating the Workflow with JotForm

In this section, we will use Pabbly Connect to set up a workflow that triggers when a new response is submitted in JotForm. Start by clicking the ‘+’ button to select JotForm as your trigger application.

  • Select ‘New Response’ as the trigger event.
  • Click on ‘Connect’ to generate a webhook URL.
  • Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.

Next, go to your JotForm account to integrate this webhook. Navigate to the settings of your form, click on “Integrations,” and search for “Webhooks.” Paste the copied URL and complete the integration. This ensures that when a new form response is submitted, it will trigger the workflow in Pabbly Connect.

3. Storing Leads in Airtable

After setting up the JotForm trigger, the next step is to store the lead information in Airtable using Pabbly Connect. Click the ‘+’ button to add Airtable as the action application.

Select ‘Create Record’ as the action event. You will need to connect your Airtable account by clicking on ‘Connect’ and granting Pabbly Connect access to your Airtable account. After connecting, select the base and table where you want to store the lead data.

  • Choose the base name (e.g., “Bright Path CRM”).
  • Select the table name (e.g., “Leads”).
  • Map the fields from the JotForm response to the corresponding Airtable fields.

Once the mapping is complete, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify that the data is correctly added to your Airtable base. Refresh your Airtable page to see the new lead entry.

4. Sending a Welcome Email via Gmail

The final step in this workflow is to send a personalized welcome email to the new lead using Gmail through Pabbly Connect. Add Gmail as the next action application and select ‘Send Email’ as the action event.

Connect your Gmail account by clicking ‘Connect’ and following the prompts to grant access. Once connected, fill in the necessary fields such as sender name, recipient email (mapped from the JotForm response), subject, and email content.

  • Enter your business name as the sender name.
  • Map the recipient’s email address from the JotForm response.
  • Compose a personalized message including the customer’s name and selected service.

After entering the email details, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to send the email. Check your Gmail account to confirm that the email has been successfully sent to the new lead.
