1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Google Meet Integration

To automate Google Meet scheduling, start by accessing Pabbly Connect. This platform allows seamless integration between Google Forms and Google Meet. First, sign up for a free account on Pabbly Connect, which takes just a couple of minutes.

Once logged in, navigate to your dashboard and click on ‘Create Workflow’. Name your workflow, for instance, ‘Google Forms to Google Meet’, and select the appropriate folder for organization. Click on ‘Create’ to open the workflow interface where you will set up triggers and actions.

2. Creating a Trigger for Google Forms in Pabbly Connect

In this section, we will create a trigger using Pabbly Connect to capture responses from Google Forms. Choose Google Forms as the app and select ‘New Response Received’ as the trigger event. This setup allows Pabbly Connect to capture form submissions automatically.

• Select Google Forms as the app.
• Set the trigger event to ‘New Response Received’.
• Pabbly Connect will provide a webhook URL to capture responses.

Next, copy the provided webhook URL and implement it in your Google Form. This is crucial for linking the form submissions to Pabbly Connect. To do this, go to the Google Sheets linked to your Google Form, add the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on, and set it up by pasting the URL you copied.

3. Mapping Data to Schedule Meetings in Google Meet

After setting up the trigger, the next step is to map the data to schedule meetings using Pabbly Connect. Choose Google Meet as the app for the action step. Select ‘Schedule a Meeting’ as the action event, which allows you to create a meeting based on the form submission details.

Connect your Google Meet account by signing in and granting necessary permissions. You will then need to fill in details such as the meeting title, date, time, and attendee email. For the meeting title, use the name of the person who submitted the form, which you can map from the trigger data.

• Map the meeting title to include the user’s name.
• Set the meeting description to include any additional details provided in the form.
• Ensure the meeting times are formatted correctly in UTC.

Using the data received from the Google Form, you can set the start and end times for the meeting. Remember to adjust the time zone accordingly, as Google Meet requires UTC format.

4. Testing the Automation Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once the mapping is complete, it’s time to test the automation you set up using Pabbly Connect. Submit a test entry in your Google Form to ensure that the integration is working correctly. After submission, Pabbly Connect should capture the response and trigger the meeting scheduling process.

Check your Google Meet account to confirm that the meeting has been scheduled with the correct details. Additionally, the invite should be sent to the email address provided in the form submission. This step verifies that the automation is functioning as intended.

If the test is successful, you can now confidently use this automation for real form submissions. Each new entry in your Google Form will automatically create a corresponding meeting in Google Meet.
