Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start using Pabbly Connect, you need to access its platform. First, open your browser and go to the Pabbly Connect landing page. Here, you will find options to either sign in or sign up for free. If you are a new user, click on ‘Sign up for free’ to create an account, which allows you to test the features with a limited number of tasks each month.

Once logged in, you will see the dashboard with various Pabbly applications. Click on ‘Access Now’ for Pabbly Connect. This will take you to the workspace where you can create workflows that automate tasks between Google Forms and WooCommerce. Now that you are set up, let’s dive into creating your first workflow.

Creating a Workflow to Connect Google Forms and WooCommerce

In this section, we will set up a workflow using Pabbly Connect to automate customer creation in WooCommerce based on Google Forms submissions. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. You will be prompted to name your workflow and select a folder to save it in. For this tutorial, name it ‘Create WooCommerce Customer on Google Forms Submission’ and click on ‘Create’.

After creating the workflow, you will be directed to the workflow window where you need to define the trigger and action. The trigger application will be Google Forms, which means the workflow starts when a new response is received. To set this up, select Google Forms as the trigger application and choose the event ‘New Response Received’.

• Select Google Forms as the trigger application.
• Choose ‘New Response Received’ as the trigger event.
• Copy the generated webhook URL for further use.

With the trigger set, we can now link this to Google Forms, allowing Pabbly Connect to capture responses automatically. This setup will enable seamless integration, ensuring that every new submission is processed without manual intervention.

Setting Up Google Forms for Webhook Integration

Next, we need to configure Google Forms to send data to Pabbly Connect. Open your Google Forms and go to the ‘Responses’ tab. Here, you’ll need to link your form to a Google Sheets spreadsheet for data collection. Click on the ‘Link with Sheets’ option if you haven’t done this yet.

After linking, go to the ‘Extensions’ menu in Google Sheets, then navigate to ‘Add-ons’ and select ‘Get add-ons’. Search for the Pabbly Connect add-on and install it. Once installed, refresh the spreadsheet. Now, go back to the ‘Extensions’ menu, select Pabbly Connect and then click on ‘Initial Setup’.

• Select the appropriate Google Sheets file.
• Paste the webhook URL from Pabbly Connect.
• Set the trigger column to the last data column used.

After completing these steps, click on ‘Submit’ to finalize the setup. This configuration allows Pabbly Connect to capture new responses from Google Forms and trigger the workflow automatically.

Creating Customers in WooCommerce via Pabbly Connect

Now that we have set up Google Forms, we can configure WooCommerce as the action application in Pabbly Connect. In the workflow, select WooCommerce as the action application and choose the action event ‘Add New Customer’. Click on ‘Connect’ to establish a connection with your WooCommerce store.

To connect, you will need your WooCommerce API credentials. Navigate to your WooCommerce settings in the WordPress dashboard, go to ‘Advanced’, and then to ‘REST API’. Click on ‘Add Key’ to generate your API credentials. Make sure to set permissions to ‘Read/Write’ and generate the key.

Copy the consumer key and secret from WooCommerce. Paste these credentials into Pabbly Connect. Enter your WooCommerce site URL without the trailing slash.

Once the connection is established, you can start mapping the fields from Google Forms to WooCommerce. This ensures that every new customer created in WooCommerce has the same details as those submitted in the Google Form.

Testing and Finalizing the Integration

With everything set up, it’s time to test the integration. Go back to your Google Form and submit a test entry. Once the form is submitted, Pabbly Connect should capture the data and create a new customer in WooCommerce. Check your WooCommerce customer list to verify that the new entry has been created successfully.

In the Pabbly Connect workflow, you will see the captured response from Google Forms. If everything is configured correctly, the response data will match the test submission you made. This confirms that the workflow is functioning as intended.

As an additional step, you can set up notifications or further actions within Pabbly Connect to enhance your workflow. This could include sending confirmation emails or updating other systems automatically.
