2. Scheduling the Integration in Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will schedule the integration using Pabbly Connect. Click on ‘Schedule’ as your trigger app. This allows you to set a specific time for the integration to run. It’s important to configure the time in UTC format to avoid discrepancies. For example, if you want the integration to run at 4 AM IST, you would set it to 10:30 PM UTC.

  • Select ‘Schedule’ as the trigger app.
  • Set the desired time in UTC format.
  • Click ‘Save’ to confirm your scheduled time.

After setting the schedule, click ‘Save’ to ensure your settings are stored correctly. This scheduled trigger will allow you to automate the process of importing users from Google Sheets to WordPress.


3. Connecting Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect

Now, you will connect Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect to retrieve user data. Choose Google Sheets as the action app and select ‘Get Row’ as the action event. This will allow you to fetch the data from the specified range in your Google Sheet. Click on ‘Connect’ to link your Google Sheets account.

Once connected, select the Google Sheet that contains your user data. Specify the range of cells you want to pull data from, such as A2 to E10. After entering the range, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to fetch the data from your Google Sheet. You will see the details of users displayed, confirming a successful connection.


4. Creating Users in WordPress Using Pabbly Connect

With user data fetched from Google Sheets, the next step is to create users in WordPress through Pabbly Connect. Select WordPress as the action app and choose ‘Create User’ as the action event. This will enable you to map the data fetched from Google Sheets into the required fields for user creation.

  • Map the username, email, password, first name, and last name from the data.
  • Ensure you have the WP API Basic Authentication plugin installed on your WordPress site.
  • Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to create the user in WordPress.

This step will create a new user in your WordPress site based on the data provided from Google Sheets, thus automating the user creation process efficiently.
