1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start using Pabbly Connect, you need to access the platform through your web browser. Simply search for Pabbly Connect and go to the official website. If you don’t have an account, sign up for free; it only takes a few minutes.

Once logged in, you will find the dashboard where you can create workflows. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to initiate the process of integrating Google Sheets with SendPulse. This is how Pabbly Connect facilitates seamless automation between different applications.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After accessing Pabbly Connect, you will need to create a new workflow. Name your workflow appropriately, such as ‘Create SendPulse Subscriber from Google Sheets’. Select the folder where you want to save this workflow.

• Click on the ‘Create’ button to proceed.
• You will see two main sections: Trigger and Action.
• Set Google Sheets as the Trigger application.

By setting up this workflow, you are enabling Pabbly Connect to listen for new entries in Google Sheets, which will then trigger the action of adding subscribers in SendPulse. This automation is crucial for maintaining updated subscriber lists.

3. Setting Up the Trigger for Google Sheets

In this step, you will configure the trigger for your workflow using Pabbly Connect. Select Google Sheets as your trigger application and set the trigger event to ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. This will ensure that any new data added to your Google Sheet will initiate the workflow.

To connect Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect, copy the webhook URL provided. Then, go to your Google Sheet and navigate to Extensions > Pabbly Connect Webhooks. If you don’t have the extension installed, you can find it in the Google Workspace Marketplace.

• Paste the webhook URL in the setup.
• Specify the trigger column (usually the last column where data is entered).

After completing these steps, your Google Sheets will be connected to Pabbly Connect, allowing for real-time data transfer to SendPulse when new rows are added.

4. Configuring the Action to Add Subscribers in SendPulse

Now that the trigger is set, the next step is to configure the action in Pabbly Connect. Select SendPulse as the action application and choose ‘Add Subscriber’ as the action event. This action will allow you to automatically add new subscribers to your mailing list.

To connect SendPulse with Pabbly Connect, you will need to provide your SendPulse API ID and Secret. You can find these in your SendPulse account under Account Settings > API. Once you have entered these details, click on ‘Save’ to establish the connection.

Select the mailing list where you want to add the new subscriber. Map the fields from the Google Sheets response to the corresponding fields in SendPulse.

This mapping ensures that whenever a new row is added in Google Sheets, the subscriber’s details will be accurately reflected in SendPulse, thanks to Pabbly Connect.

5. Testing and Activating the Integration

After configuring both the trigger and action, it’s essential to test the workflow in Pabbly Connect. You can do this by adding a new row in your Google Sheet with sample customer data. Once added, check SendPulse to see if the new subscriber appears in your mailing list.

If the test is successful, activate your workflow. This means every time you add a new row in Google Sheets, Pabbly Connect will automatically create a new subscriber in SendPulse without any manual intervention.

Ensure all details are correct during the mapping process. Regularly monitor your integration for any discrepancies.

By following these steps, you have successfully automated the subscriber creation process using Pabbly Connect, enhancing your email marketing efforts significantly.
