1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Jotform and MySQL Integration

To begin the integration of Jotform submissions with MySQL, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. Simply open your web browser and navigate to the Pabbly website, where you can sign in or create a new account.

After logging in, you will see the dashboard of Pabbly Connect. Click on the option to access the Connect feature. This is where you will create a new workflow to enable data transfer from Jotform to MySQL.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once you are in Pabbly Connect, click on the “Create Workflow” button. You will need to name your workflow; for this integration, you can name it ‘Jotform to MySQL’. After naming, click on the create button to proceed.

Now, you will see two windows: a trigger window and an action window. In the trigger window, select Jotform as the application and choose the trigger event as “New Response.” This event will capture new submissions from your Jotform and initiate the workflow.

3. Integrating Jotform with Pabbly Connect

To integrate Jotform with Pabbly Connect, you need to edit the specific form you want to connect. Go to your Jotform account, select the form you want to use, and click on the settings option. Under integrations, search for webhooks and add a new webhook URL.

• Remove the HTTP part from the URL provided by Pabbly Connect.
• Paste the copied webhook URL into the Jotform integration settings.
• Complete the integration by clicking on the finish button.

This setup allows Pabbly Connect to capture any new data submitted through your Jotform. Ensure that the integration is successful by testing it with a sample submission.

4. Setting Up MySQL in Pabbly Connect

Now that Jotform is integrated, the next step is to set up MySQL in Pabbly Connect. In the action window, select MySQL as the application and choose the action event as “Insert Row.” This action will allow you to insert new data into your MySQL database.

You will need to connect to your MySQL database by entering the required credentials: database username, password, host, database name, and port. After entering these details, click on the save button to establish the connection.

• Make sure to select the correct table where you want to insert the data.
• Map the fields from Jotform to your MySQL table accurately.
• Test the connection to ensure data is being inserted correctly.

Once you have mapped all required fields and tested the connection, you can finalize the setup.

5. Final Verification of Data Transfer

After completing the setup, it’s crucial to verify that the data from Jotform is being successfully transferred to your MySQL database via Pabbly Connect. Submit a new entry in your Jotform and check if the data appears in your MySQL table.

If the data shows up correctly, this confirms that your integration is working as intended. You can repeat this process for any additional forms or data as needed.

In summary, the integration of Jotform and MySQL using Pabbly Connect allows for seamless data transfer without any coding skills required. This automation saves time and ensures accurate data management.

Conclusion

This tutorial has guided you through the process of integrating Jotform submissions with MySQL using Pabbly Connect. By following these steps, you can efficiently manage your data without manual entry, ensuring accuracy and saving time.
