3. Setting Up Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect

Now, open your Google Sheets where you want to track new entries. You will need to add the webhook URL generated from Pabbly Connect to your Google Sheets.

To do this, go to “Extensions” > “Add-ons” > “Get add-ons” and search for the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on. Once installed, navigate back to Extensions and select “Pabbly Connect Webhooks” > “Initial Setup” to paste the webhook URL.

  • You can either use an existing connection or create a new one.
  • Input your WhatsApp Business Account details including token, phone number ID, and account ID.

Once the connection is established, you can map the fields from Google Sheets to WhatsApp, ensuring that the correct information is sent to your leads.


5. Testing and Finalizing Your Automation

After mapping the necessary fields, it’s time to test your automation. Click on “Save and Send Test Request” in Pabbly Connect to verify that the WhatsApp message is sent successfully.

Check your WhatsApp to confirm that the message appears as expected. If the test is successful, your automation is ready to go live! Ensure that you enable the “Send on Event” option in Google Sheets to automate the process fully.
