Watch Step By Step Video Tutorial Below

1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To start automating your Google Form leads, first, access Pabbly Connect. Open a new tab and type in the URL: pabby.com/connect. This will take you to the homepage of Pabbly Connect.

If you are a new user, click on “Sign Up Free” to create an account. You will receive 100 free tasks every month to explore the features of Pabbly Connect. Existing users can simply log in using the “Sign In” option.

2. Setting Up the Trigger with Google Forms

In this step, we will set up the trigger for our automation in Pabbly Connect. Click on the “Add Trigger” button and search for “Google Forms” as your trigger application. Select it to proceed.

Choose “New Response Received” as the event.
Click on the “Connect” button to generate a webhook URL.
Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.

Next, go to your Google Form, navigate to the “Responses” section, and link it to Google Sheets. Under “Extensions,” select “Add-ons” and install the Pabbly Connect Webhook add-on. Use this to paste your copied webhook URL into the setup dialogue.

3. Testing the Trigger and Sending Test Data

After setting up the webhook, it’s time to test the trigger. Fill out your Google Form with test data, including fields like first name, last name, and email. Submit the form to send this data to Pabbly Connect.

Return to Pabbly Connect and click on “Send Test” to send the test data.
Verify that the test data appears in the Pabbly Connect dashboard.

Once the test is successful, enable the “Send on Event” option in the Google Sheets add-on under the Pabbly Connect Webhooks section. This ensures that future submissions are automatically sent to Pabbly Connect.

4. Setting Up the Action with Slack

Now that the trigger is ready, we will set up the action to send notifications to Slack. In Pabbly Connect, click on “Add Action” and search for “Slack”. Choose it as your action application.

Select “Send Channel Message” as the action event.
Click “Connect” and enter your Slack token to establish the connection.

Choose the channel where you want the notifications to appear, typically a channel dedicated to lead alerts. You can customize the message to include dynamic data from the Google Form, such as the lead’s name and email, using the mapping feature in Pabbly Connect.

5. Finalizing the Automation

With both the trigger and action set up, it’s time to finalize your automation. Click on “Save and Send Test Request” in Pabbly Connect to check if the Slack message is sent correctly.

If the test is successful, you will see the message in your designated Slack channel. This confirms that your automation is working seamlessly. Now every time a new lead fills out your Google Form, your team will receive an instant notification via Slack.

By using Pabbly Connect, you have successfully automated the process of notifying your team about new leads, ensuring that no lead goes unnoticed. This is a powerful way to enhance your team’s responsiveness and efficiency.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we explored how to automate Google Form lead notifications to Slack using Pabbly Connect. By following these steps, you can ensure that your team receives timely updates about new leads, enhancing your business’s efficiency and responsiveness.
