1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Automation

To integrate Google Sheets with Mailercloud, the first step is to set up Pabbly Connect. Start by logging into your Pabbly Connect account. If you don’t have an account, you can create a free trial account in just a few minutes. Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard where you can create a new workflow.

Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and name your workflow. For this integration, you might name it ‘Send Leads Data from Google Sheets to Mailercloud Automatically’. After naming your workflow, click on the ‘Create’ button to proceed. This setup allows Pabbly Connect to act as the automation bridge between Google Sheets and Mailercloud.

2. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will define the trigger for your automation. The trigger is essential as it tells Pabbly Connect when to start the workflow. Click on the trigger window and select Google Sheets as your application. The trigger event should be set to ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. This means that whenever a new row is added or updated in your Google Sheet, the workflow will be activated.

• Select Google Sheets as the trigger application.
• Choose the trigger event: New or Updated Spreadsheet Row.
• Copy the generated webhook URL for later use.

After setting your trigger, you will receive a webhook URL, which is crucial for connecting your Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect. This URL allows Pabbly Connect to receive data from Google Sheets whenever a new lead is added.

3. Connecting Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect

Now that you have your webhook URL, the next step is to connect your Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect. Open your Google Sheets where you collect lead data. Click on the ‘Extensions’ menu, go to ‘Add-ons’, and then select ‘Get Add-ons’. Search for ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ and install it.

After installation, refresh your Google Sheets. Once refreshed, navigate back to ‘Extensions’, find ‘Pabbly Connect’, and click on ‘Initial Setup’. Here, paste the webhook URL you copied earlier and specify the trigger column, which is usually the last column where data is entered. After completing these steps, click on ‘Send Test’ to ensure data is sent to Pabbly Connect successfully.

4. Setting Up the Action in Pabbly Connect to Mailercloud

With the trigger set up, it’s time to configure the action that will take place in Mailercloud. Click on the action window in Pabbly Connect and select Mailercloud as your application. The action event should be set to ‘Add a Contact to List’. This action will add the new leads from Google Sheets directly to your specified list in Mailercloud.

• Choose Mailercloud as the action application.
• Select the action event: Add a Contact to List.
• Connect your Mailercloud account using your API key.

To connect Mailercloud, you will need to enter your API key from your Mailercloud account settings. Once connected, select the list where you want the new contacts to be added. Then, map the fields from Google Sheets to the corresponding fields in Mailercloud, ensuring that the email address and other details are correctly aligned.

5. Testing the Integration and Final Steps

After setting up the action in Pabbly Connect, it’s crucial to test the integration to ensure everything works smoothly. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to create a test contact in Mailercloud. If the contact is created successfully, you will see a confirmation message with the new contact ID.

To confirm that the contact has been added, log into your Mailercloud account and check the specified list. You should see the new contact with the details you mapped from Google Sheets. This confirms that Pabbly Connect is successfully automating the process of adding leads from Google Sheets to Mailercloud.
