Watch Step By Step Video Tutorial Below

1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To begin integrating WordPress with Google Sheets using Pabbly Connect, you first need to access the platform. Visit the Pabbly website by typing pabyt.com in your browser. Once there, sign into your account using the “Sign In” option at the top right corner. If you’re new, you can sign up for free, which grants you 100 tasks monthly to explore the platform.

After logging in, navigate to the Pabbly apps page where you will find all available applications. Click on Pabbly Connect to access the dashboard, where you can create and manage your workflows easily. Click on the “Create Workflow” button to start setting up your integration.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will create a new workflow that will connect WordPress and Google Sheets using Pabbly Connect. Select the “New Beta” workflow builder for a modern experience. Name your workflow something like “Track WordPress Users Automatically in Google Sheets” and choose an appropriate folder for organization.

• Click on “Create” to finalize your workflow setup.
• Choose “WordPress” as your trigger application.
• Select the trigger event as “User Registers”.

After setting the trigger, connect it to your WordPress account. This is crucial as it allows Pabbly Connect to listen for new user registrations, which will initiate the workflow whenever a new user is added.

3. Connecting WordPress with Pabbly Connect

To establish a connection, you will need to set up a webhook in your WordPress dashboard. This webhook acts as a bridge between WordPress and Pabbly Connect. Install and activate the WP Webhooks plugin from the WordPress plugin repository.

Once activated, navigate to the WP Webhooks settings. Here, you will add a new webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect. Name your webhook (e.g., “User Created”) and paste the webhook URL into the designated field. Click on “Add” to save it.

4. Testing the Webhook Connection

Now that you have set up the webhook, it’s time to test the connection. Go back to your WordPress dashboard and add a new user by filling in the required details. This action should trigger the webhook you just created.

After adding the user, return to Pabbly Connect and check if the webhook response has been captured. You should see the user details, confirming that the connection is working properly. This step is vital as it validates that your integration setup is functioning as intended.

5. Adding Google Sheets as an Action Step

With the webhook successfully tested, you can now set up Google Sheets as the action application in your workflow. In Pabbly Connect, click on “Add New Action Step” and search for Google Sheets.

Select the action event as “Add New Row” and connect to your Google Sheets account. After granting necessary permissions, select the spreadsheet you created for tracking WordPress users. Map the fields such as User ID, First Name, Last Name, Email, and Role to ensure that the correct data is added to your spreadsheet.

Finally, click on “Save and Send Test Request” to check if the data is accurately added to your Google Sheets. Your integration is now complete, allowing automatic updates of user registrations from WordPress to Google Sheets via Pabbly Connect.
