1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start integrating Google Forms with other applications, the first step is to access Pabbly Connect. You can do this by visiting the Pabbly website and signing in. If you are a new user, you can sign up for a free account to get started.

Once you are logged in, navigate to the dashboard where you can see all Pabbly applications. Click on the Pabbly Connect option to begin the integration process. This platform allows you to connect various applications seamlessly without any coding knowledge.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this section, we will create a workflow to automate the process of sending Google Form responses to another application. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button in Pabbly Connect to initiate this process.

• Name your workflow, for example, ‘Send Google Form Responses’.
• Select a folder to save your workflow.
• Click on the ‘Create’ button to proceed.

After creating the workflow, you will see the workflow window where you can set up the trigger and action. The trigger will be Google Forms, and the action will be the application you want to send data to. This is where Pabbly Connect shines, allowing you to manage triggers and actions effectively.

3. Setting Up Google Forms Integration

Next, we will set up the Google Forms integration within Pabbly Connect. Select Google Forms as your trigger application and choose ‘New Response Received’ as the trigger event. This ensures that every time a new response is submitted, the workflow will be triggered.

You will be provided with a webhook URL. Copy this URL and head over to your Google Forms. In the Google Forms responses section, link your form to a Google Sheet. This is essential for capturing the responses.

• Go to Extensions > Add-ons > Get Add-ons in Google Sheets.
• Search for ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ and install it.
• Open the add-on and paste the copied webhook URL.

After pasting the URL, set the trigger column to the last column where your data will appear. This completes the Google Forms setup in Pabbly Connect.

4. Testing the Integration with Pabbly Connect

After setting everything up, it’s time to test the integration. To do this, submit a test response in your Google Form. This will trigger the workflow in Pabbly Connect and allow you to see if the data is captured correctly.

Once you submit the test response, check your Google Sheet to ensure the data appears there. Then, return to Pabbly Connect to see if the webhook has captured the response. If everything is set up correctly, you should see the test data reflected in your workflow.

Ensure the send on event button is always on in the add-on settings. Click on ‘Send Test’ in the Pabbly Connect interface. Verify that the test data was sent successfully.

By following these steps, you ensure that your integration is functioning correctly, leveraging the capabilities of Pabbly Connect to automate the process effectively.

5. Executing API Requests with Pabbly Connect

The final step involves executing API requests to send the Google Form data to another application. In Pabbly Connect, set the action application to API by Pabbly, selecting ‘Execute API Request’ as the action event.

Configure the API request by importing the CURL request from the target application. This allows you to send the data collected from Google Forms to the external application. Make sure to map the required fields from the Google Form response to the respective fields in the API request.

Enter the API key from your target application. Map the fields such as name, email, and other necessary data. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to execute the API call.

After executing the request, check the target application to confirm that the new subscriber has been created successfully. This integration showcases how Pabbly Connect allows for seamless data transfer between Google Forms and other applications, enhancing your workflow.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we explored how to integrate Google Forms with various applications using Pabbly Connect. By following the detailed steps, you can automate data transfer without any coding knowledge, streamlining your processes effectively.
