Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Google Forms and Google Slides Integration

To begin the integration process, open Pabbly Connect and create a new workflow. This workflow will automate the generation of certificates based on responses collected via Google Forms. The first step is to select Google Forms as the trigger application.

Once you’ve selected Google Forms, you’ll need to authenticate your Google account. This allows Pabbly Connect to access your form submissions. Ensure you have your Google Form ready with fields like name, email, and event details to capture the necessary information for the certificate.

Creating a Google Form for Certificate Generation

Next, you need to create a Google Form that will collect participant information. The form should include fields for the participant’s name, email address, and any other relevant details. This is crucial as Pabbly Connect will use this data to populate the certificate template.

• Open Google Forms and create a new form.
• Add fields for Name, Email, and Event Details.
• Customize the form settings as needed.

After setting up the form, submit a test response to ensure that Pabbly Connect can capture the data correctly. This step is essential for verifying that your integration will work smoothly.

Designing the Certificate Template in Google Slides

Now, it’s time to create a certificate template in Google Slides. This template will be automatically populated with the data collected from the Google Form. Start by opening Google Slides and designing a visually appealing certificate layout.

Ensure that your template includes placeholders for the participant’s name and other details. Pabbly Connect will replace these placeholders with actual data from the form responses. After designing the template, save it to your Google Drive for easy access.

Linking Pabbly Connect to Google Slides for Automation

Return to Pabbly Connect to set up the action step. Choose Google Slides as the action application and select the appropriate action event, such as ‘Create Presentation from Template’. This action will generate a certificate for each form response.

Map the fields from the Google Form to the corresponding placeholders in your Google Slides template. This mapping process is crucial, as it tells Pabbly Connect how to fill in the certificate with the participant’s information.

Sending Certificates via Email Using Gmail

Once the certificates are generated, the final step is to send them via email. In Pabbly Connect, add another action step and select Gmail as the application. Choose the action event ‘Send Email’.

Configure the email settings by mapping the participant’s email address from the Google Form response. Attach the generated certificate from Google Slides to this email. This ensures that each participant receives their personalized certificate directly in their inbox.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can effectively integrate Google Forms with Google Slides using Pabbly Connect to automate certificate creation and distribution. This process not only saves time but also enhances the participant experience by providing immediate recognition for their achievements.
