1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To begin integrating Zoho CRM with Google Sheets, first access Pabbly Connect. This platform allows seamless integration between various applications without any coding knowledge. Start by visiting the Pabbly website and signing in or creating a new account.

Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard and click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Here, you can name your workflow, for example, ‘Google Sheets to Zoho CRM’. This setup initiates the integration process that will automate lead creation in Zoho CRM from Google Sheets.

2. Setting Up Google Sheets as the Trigger Application

In this step, you will set Google Sheets as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Select Google Sheets from the trigger application list. The trigger event you need is ‘New Row’, which indicates that whenever a new entry is added to Google Sheets, it will trigger the workflow.

• Choose Google Sheets as the trigger application.
• Select the ‘New Row’ trigger event.
• Copy the provided webhook URL for later use.

After setting the trigger, return to your Google Sheets document. Here, you need to install the Pabbly Connect Webhook add-on if you haven’t already. This add-on allows Google Sheets to send data to Pabbly Connect whenever a new row is added.

3. Configuring Google Sheets Webhook with Pabbly Connect

Next, you need to configure the webhook in Google Sheets using the URL you copied earlier from Pabbly Connect. Open the Pabbly Connect Webhook add-on and paste the URL into the designated field. Then, specify the trigger column which will be the last column containing your data.

After pasting the URL, click on ‘Send Test Request’ in Pabbly Connect. This action sends a sample data entry from Google Sheets to Pabbly, confirming that the connection is working. Ensure that the webhook is set to trigger on every new entry by clicking ‘Send on Event’ in the add-on settings.

4. Setting Up Zoho CRM as the Action Application

Now, it’s time to set Zoho CRM as the action application in your workflow on Pabbly Connect. Select Zoho CRM and choose the action event as ‘Create Lead’. This step will allow you to automatically create a lead in Zoho CRM whenever a new row is added in Google Sheets.

• Select Zoho CRM as the action application.
• Choose ‘Create Lead’ as the action event.
• Connect your Zoho CRM account to Pabbly Connect.

Upon connecting, you will see fields like first name, last name, email, and company name. Map these fields to the corresponding columns from your Google Sheets. After mapping the fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify that the lead is created successfully in Zoho CRM.

5. Verifying Lead Creation in Zoho CRM

After testing the integration, it’s crucial to verify that the lead is successfully created in Zoho CRM. Refresh your Zoho CRM dashboard to check for the newly created lead entry. You should see the details populated as per the data entered in Google Sheets.

If the lead appears correctly, your integration is successful! This automated process saves time and reduces manual entry errors. By using Pabbly Connect, you can ensure that your leads are consistently captured from Google Sheets to Zoho CRM without any hassle.
