To begin with, accessing Pabbly Connect is essential for integrating WhatsApp with Google Sheets. Simply visit the Pabbly website and log into your account. If you’re a new user, signing up will give you access to a free trial with 100 credits.

Once logged in, navigate to the Pabbly Connect dashboard. This is where you will set up your integration workflow. Make sure to familiarize yourself with the interface, as it will guide you through the process of connecting your applications seamlessly.


2. Creating a WhatsApp Chatbot with Pabbly Chatflow

To collect customer details via WhatsApp, you will first need to create a chatbot using Pabbly Chatflow. Navigate to the Chatflow section on the Pabbly dashboard and click on “Add Flow” to start.

  • Select a trigger event, such as “Keywords Regex Match”.
  • Define the keywords that will trigger the chatbot, such as “hello” or “hi”.
  • Set up the initial greeting message to engage users.

After setting up the trigger, you can customize the chatbot to ask for details like the user’s name, interests, budget, and location. This information will be collected and saved for further processing.


3. Setting Up Pabbly Connect to Capture Responses

With the WhatsApp chatbot created, the next step involves configuring Pabbly Connect to capture the responses received from users. Go back to the Pabbly Connect dashboard and create a new workflow.

Select “Webhook by Pabbly” as the trigger application. This allows you to catch the webhook responses from the chatbot. After selecting the trigger event, copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect and paste it into the API request section of your chatbot.

  • Define the fields you want to capture, such as “full name”, “interest”, “budget”, and “location”.
  • Ensure that you map these fields correctly in the webhook response.
  • Test the webhook to confirm that data is being captured accurately.

This integration ensures that every time a user interacts with the chatbot, their information is sent to Pabbly Connect for processing.


4. Sending Data to Google Sheets Using Pabbly Connect

After capturing the responses, the next step is to send this data to Google Sheets. In your Pabbly Connect workflow, add a new action step and select Google Sheets as the action application.

Choose the action event “Add New Row” and connect your Google account. Once connected, select the spreadsheet where you want to store the data. Map the fields from the webhook response to the corresponding columns in your Google Sheets.

  • Map the full name to the respective column in Google Sheets.
  • Repeat for interest, budget, and location fields.
  • Test the integration to ensure data is being added correctly.

This step solidifies the integration between WhatsApp and Google Sheets via Pabbly Connect, enabling seamless data collection.
