1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To send unique coupon codes to customers, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. Start by visiting the Pabbly website and signing up for a free account. This platform allows you to integrate various applications, including Google Sheets and SMS services.

Once signed in, navigate to the Pabbly Connect section. Here, you can create a new workflow that will handle the data transfer from Google Sheets to your chosen SMS sending application. Make sure to name your workflow appropriately for easy identification.

2. Setting Up Google Forms and Sheets with Pabbly Connect

Set up your Google Form to collect customer information, including name, email, phone number, and age. After setting up your form, link it to a Google Sheet where the responses will be recorded. This is crucial for Pabbly Connect to capture the data accurately.

• Create a Google Form with necessary fields.
• Link the form to a new Google Sheet.
• Ensure the sheet is correctly set up to receive form responses.

After creating your Google Sheet, open Pabbly Connect to begin the integration process. This will allow you to automate the sending of coupon codes once the form is submitted.

3. Installing Pabbly Webhooks Add-on

To enable real-time data transfer, install the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on in your Google Sheet. This step is essential for capturing form submissions and sending them to your SMS application.

After installation, make sure to refresh your Google Sheet. Then, access the add-on and configure the initial setup. Input the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect and specify the trigger column, which should be the last column where data is entered.

• Go to Add-ons > Pabbly Connect Webhooks > Initial Setup.
• Paste the webhook URL and set the trigger column.
• Enable the ‘Send on Event’ option.

By completing these steps, your Google Sheet will be ready to send data to Pabbly Connect whenever a new response is submitted.

4. Sending SMS Using Pabbly Connect

With your Google Sheet set up, it’s time to send SMS messages containing the unique coupon codes. In the Pabbly Connect workflow, select your SMS sending application, like Twilio, for this action.

Configure the SMS settings by entering the required fields such as account SID and authorization token from your SMS provider. In the message body, include the recipient’s name and the coupon code retrieved from the Google Sheet. This integration ensures that each customer receives a unique coupon code via SMS.

Select Twilio as the SMS application in Pabbly Connect. Map the recipient’s phone number and coupon code in the SMS body. Send a test SMS to ensure everything is working correctly.

This setup allows Pabbly Connect to seamlessly send SMS messages to customers, enhancing your marketing efforts.

5. Updating Coupon Status in Google Sheets

After sending the SMS, it’s important to update the coupon status in your Google Sheet to prevent sending the same coupon code to multiple customers. In your Pabbly Connect workflow, add another action step to update the coupon status.

Choose Google Sheets again and set the action to update a specific cell or row. Specify the row index and change the status of the coupon from ‘No’ to ‘Yes’. This ensures that the coupon code is marked as used and won’t be sent again.

Following these steps will create a loop where new form submissions trigger the entire process, allowing your customers to receive unique coupon codes automatically. By using Pabbly Connect, you ensure a smooth and efficient workflow.
