1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To start automating WhatsApp messages, first, access Pabbly Connect. This platform is essential for integrating Google Sheets with WhatsApp. If you are new, sign up at Pabbly’s website, where you’ll receive 100 free tasks each month for testing.

Once logged in, navigate to the Pabbly Connect dashboard. Here, you can create and manage all your automation workflows. Click on the “Create Workflow” button to begin setting up your integration.


2. Creating a Workflow with Pabbly Connect

After accessing Pabbly Connect, you’ll see options to create a workflow. Choose the “Create from Scratch” option or utilize AI for a quicker setup. For this tutorial, select the AI option and input a prompt like “Create a workflow where Google Sheets is connected with Pabbly Chatflow.”

  • Select the trigger event as “New or Updated Spreadsheet Row”.
  • Choose the action event as “Send Template Message”.

After selecting these options, approve and create the workflow. This will set up the connection between Google Sheets and Pabbly Chatflow, enabling automated WhatsApp messaging.


3. Connecting Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect

Next, you need to connect Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect. In the workflow, you’ll find a webhook URL provided by Pabbly. Copy this URL, as it will be used in Google Sheets.

Open your Google Sheets, navigate to “Extensions”, and click on “Add-ons”. Search for “Pabbly Connect Webhooks” and install it. After installation, click on it and select “Initial Setup”. Paste the webhook URL you copied earlier into the designated field.


4. Setting Up the Webhook in Google Sheets

After pasting the webhook URL in Google Sheets, click on the “Recapture Webhook” button. This action allows Google Sheets to wait for a response from Pabbly Connect. Specify the trigger column where data will be entered. For this example, set it to column J.

  • Click on the “Send Test” button to check the connection.
  • Ensure the “Send on Event” option is activated for real-time updates.

After sending the test, verify the response in Pabbly Connect. If successful, the integration is working correctly, allowing data to flow seamlessly from Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect.


5. Sending WhatsApp Messages Using Pabbly Connect

With the integration set, you can now configure Pabbly Connect to send WhatsApp messages. Choose Pabbly Chatflow as the action application and establish the connection. You’ll need to input your API token from your Pabbly Chatflow dashboard.

Map the recipient’s mobile number from the Google Sheets data to the appropriate field in Pabbly Chatflow. This mapping is crucial for personalizing messages. Select a pre-created template for the WhatsApp message, which will include variables like the user’s name and offer details.
