2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After signing in to your Pabbly Connect account, you will be directed to the dashboard where you can start creating your workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. A dialog box will prompt you to name your workflow; you might name it something like ‘Typeform to Outlook Event’.

• Click on ‘Create’ to proceed.
• You will see options for Trigger and Action; select Typeform as the Trigger application.
• Choose the ‘New Entry’ trigger event.

Click on ‘Connect’ to establish a connection with your Typeform account. You will be prompted to authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Typeform data. After successful authorization, you can select the form you want to use for the integration.

3. Setting Up the Trigger with Typeform

Once you have connected Typeform, it’s time to set up the trigger. You will need to select the specific form that contains the event details. For this example, you might select a form named ‘New Event Details’ which includes fields such as event name, event description, start date, and end date.

After selecting the form, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to capture a test response. This action will require you to fill out the Typeform with a sample entry. Make sure to provide all necessary details, including the event name and contact information for attendees.

• Fill in the event name, description, start and end dates, and attendee information.
• Submit the form to see the response captured in Pabbly Connect.

This will allow Pabbly Connect to fetch the data required to create an event in Microsoft Outlook.

4. Configuring the Action to Create Outlook Events

Now that you have set up the trigger, the next step is to configure the action to create an event in Microsoft Outlook. Select Microsoft Office 365 as your action application and choose the ‘Create Event in Calendar’ action event.

Click ‘Connect’ to link your Microsoft Office 365 account with Pabbly Connect. You will need to authorize the connection. Once connected, you will be prompted to map the fields from your Typeform response to the corresponding fields in Outlook.

Map the subject to the event name from Typeform. Set the content type to plain text and add the event description. Specify the start and end dates along with the time zone.

After mapping all necessary fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to create the event in your Outlook calendar. You should see the event created successfully in your Microsoft Outlook calendar, confirming that the integration works.

5. Testing the Integration Process

To ensure that everything is functioning correctly, you should conduct a test by submitting another response through your Typeform. This will trigger the workflow you set up in Pabbly Connect and create a new event in your Outlook calendar based on the new submission.

After submitting the form, check your Outlook calendar to verify that the new event has been created as expected. This confirms that your integration between Typeform and Microsoft Outlook via Pabbly Connect is successful and operational.

By following these steps, you can automate the process of creating events in Microsoft Outlook based on responses received from Typeform, making your workflow more efficient.
