1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Automation

To start sending Telegram messages automatically from Google Sheets, you first need to set up Pabbly Connect. Begin by visiting the Pabbly Connect website and signing up for a free account, which provides 100 free tasks every month. Once logged in, create a new workflow to initiate the integration process.

In your workflow, you will have two main components: the trigger and the action. The trigger will be Google Sheets, and the action will be sending a message via Telegram. This setup allows Pabbly Connect to capture the new data from Google Sheets and send it directly to your Telegram group.

2. Integrating Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect

Next, you will integrate Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect. In your workflow, select Google Sheets as the trigger application. Choose the event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. Click on the connect button to generate a webhook URL, which will link your Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect.

• Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.
• Open your Google Sheets and navigate to Extensions > Add-ons > Get Add-ons.
• Search for Pabbly Connect Webhooks and install it.

After installation, refresh your spreadsheet. Then, go back to Extensions, select Pabbly Webhooks, and choose ‘Initial Setup’. Paste the webhook URL and specify the trigger column, which will be the final data column where new entries are added. Click submit to complete the setup.

3. Creating a Telegram Bot for Notifications

To send messages to your Telegram group, you need to create a Telegram bot. This is where Pabbly Connect facilitates the integration. Open your Telegram app and search for ‘BotFather’. Start a chat and select the option to create a new bot. Follow the prompts to name your bot and generate a username that ends with ‘_bot’.

Once your bot is created, you will receive a token. Copy this token and return to your Pabbly Connect workflow. In the action step, select Telegram as the application and paste the token in the appropriate field. This allows Pabbly Connect to authenticate your bot and send messages on your behalf.

4. Configuring Message Sending via Telegram

Now that your Telegram bot is set up, it’s time to configure the message that will be sent automatically through Pabbly Connect. In the action step, select ‘Send a Text Message’ from the Telegram bot options. You will need to provide the chat ID of your Telegram group, which you can find in the group settings.

• Paste the chat ID into the corresponding field in Pabbly Connect.
• Map the message content from your Google Sheets data, including class details, date, and time.
• Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify that the setup works.

After completing these steps, you should receive a notification in your Telegram group with the details you mapped. This confirms that Pabbly Connect has successfully integrated Google Sheets with Telegram, automating your notifications.

5. Finalizing Your Automation Workflow

Finally, ensure that your workflow is set to send notifications whenever a new row is added to your Google Sheets. In your Pabbly Connect dashboard, make sure to enable the ‘Send on Event’ option in the Pabbly Webhooks menu. This setting ensures that every time you input new class details, a notification will be sent automatically.

With everything set up, you can now add new class details in your Google Sheets, and Pabbly Connect will take care of sending the message to your Telegram group. This automation saves time and keeps your students informed without any manual effort.
