After creating the workflow, you will see two windows open for triggers and actions. For this automation, select Google Sheets as your trigger application and Telegram as your action application.

3. Setting Up Google Sheets as a Trigger

The next step in Pabbly Connect is to configure Google Sheets as your trigger application. Click on the trigger application and select the event type as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. This means that whenever a new row is added to your Google Sheets, it will trigger the workflow.

Upon selecting the trigger event, Pabbly Connect will provide you with a webhook URL. This URL is crucial as it acts as a bridge between Google Sheets and Pabbly Connect.

• Copy the provided webhook URL.
• Open your Google Sheets document.
• Navigate to Extensions > Add-ons > Get Add-ons and search for Pabbly Connect Webhook.

Install the add-on and perform the initial setup by pasting the webhook URL and specifying the trigger column. This setup will allow the data from Google Sheets to flow into Pabbly Connect.

4. Connecting Telegram to Pabbly Connect

After setting up Google Sheets, the next step is to connect Telegram as the action application in Pabbly Connect. Select Telegram and choose the action event as ‘Send a Text Message’. Click on ‘Connect Now’ to create a new connection with your Telegram bot.

To establish this connection, you will need an API token from your Telegram bot. Use the BotFather in Telegram to create a new bot and obtain the token. Once you have the token, paste it into Pabbly Connect to finalize the connection.

Create a new bot using BotFather in Telegram. Copy the API token provided by BotFather. Paste the token into Pabbly Connect to connect your bot.

After connecting, provide the chat ID where you want to send messages and customize the message content using mapped data from the Google Sheets response.

5. Testing the Integration

With both Google Sheets and Telegram connected through Pabbly Connect, it’s time to test the integration. Add a new row in your Google Sheets with task details and ensure that it triggers the Telegram message.

Once the new row is added, Pabbly Connect will automatically send a message to the designated Telegram group. You can verify this by checking your Telegram app for the new message containing the task details.

Add a new row to Google Sheets. Check Telegram for the new message. Confirm that the message contains the correct details.
