2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In your Pabbly Connect dashboard, you can create a new workflow for automating form submissions. Click on ‘Create Workflow’ and name it as ‘Add Getform Submission in Google Sheets’. Select the appropriate folder to save this workflow.

After naming your workflow, you will see two sections: Trigger and Action. The Trigger is the event that initiates your workflow. For this integration, select Getform as the trigger application and set the trigger event to ‘New Submission’. This means that every time a new form submission occurs, the workflow will be activated.

• Click on ‘Create Workflow’
• Name your workflow
• Select the folder for saving
• Choose Getform as the trigger application
• Set the trigger event to ‘New Submission’

After setting the trigger, you will receive a webhook URL from Pabbly Connect. This URL is essential for connecting Getform to Pabbly Connect, allowing data transfer between the two applications.

3. Connecting Getform to Pabbly Connect

To connect Getform to Pabbly Connect, log into your Getform account and navigate to the form you created. Click on the Automation tab, then select ‘Send Webhook Request’. Here, you will paste the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.

After pasting the URL, save the automation settings. This step ensures that whenever a new submission is made on your form, the data will be sent to Pabbly Connect. To verify the connection, fill out the form with sample data and submit it. You should see the response captured in Pabbly Connect.

4. Adding Google Sheets as the Action Application

Next, you will set up Google Sheets as the action application in your workflow. In Pabbly Connect, select Google Sheets and choose the action event as ‘Add New Row’. This action will insert the data from Getform submissions into your specified Google Sheets document. using Pabbly Connect

• Choose ‘Add New Row’ as the action event
• Connect your Google account
• Select the spreadsheet for data insertion

Finally, map the fields from Getform to the corresponding columns in Google Sheets. This mapping ensures that every new form submission automatically populates the correct fields in your spreadsheet.

5. Testing the Integration

After setting up the workflow, it is crucial to test the integration to ensure everything works correctly. Fill out the form again with new data and submit it. Go back to Google Sheets to verify if the new submission appears as a new row.

If the data is successfully captured in Google Sheets, your integration is working perfectly. You can now automate the process of collecting form submissions and storing them in Google Sheets using Pabbly Connect. This setup saves time and reduces manual data entry errors.
