1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To create a ConvertKit subscriber from new Google Sheets rows, first, access Pabbly Connect. You can do this by typing ‘Pabbly.com/connect’ in your browser. This platform allows you to automate tasks without needing coding skills.

Once on the Pabbly Connect landing page, sign in to your account. If you are new, you can sign up for free, which gives you 100 tasks monthly. After signing in, navigate to the Pabbly Connect dashboard and click on ‘Create Workflow’ to start the automation process.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will create a workflow to connect Google Sheets and ConvertKit using Pabbly Connect. Name your workflow something descriptive like ‘Create ConvertKit Subscriber from Google Sheets’. Select the appropriate folder for your workflow.

• Click on ‘Create Workflow’ after entering the name.
• You will see two boxes: Trigger and Action.
• Select Google Sheets as your trigger application.

After setting the trigger, choose the event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. This means that whenever a new row is added in Google Sheets, it will trigger the workflow to create a subscriber in ConvertKit automatically.

3. Connecting Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect

Now, it’s time to connect Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect. You will be provided with a Webhook URL that acts as a bridge between the two applications. Head to your Google Sheets document where you maintain subscriber details.

In Google Sheets, go to Extensions, click on Add-ons, and then ‘Get Add-ons’. Search for ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’. If you haven’t installed it yet, do so. Once installed, navigate back to Extensions, select Pabbly Connect Webhooks, and click on ‘Initial Setup’. Here, you will input the Webhook URL and define the Trigger Column.

• Paste the Webhook URL from Pabbly Connect.
• Set the Trigger Column as the last data entry column (e.g., Column D).

Submit the setup, and your Google Sheets will now send data to Pabbly Connect whenever a new entry is added in the defined column.

4. Creating a Subscriber in ConvertKit

After successfully connecting Google Sheets, the next step is to create a subscriber in ConvertKit using Pabbly Connect. Choose ConvertKit as your Action application and select the event ‘Add Subscriber to a Sequence’.

Connect your ConvertKit account by entering your API Key and API Secret, which you can find in your ConvertKit account settings. After connecting, you will need to select the Sequence ID where you want the subscriber to be added.

Map the email, first name, last name, and mobile number from the Google Sheets data. Select the appropriate tags for the subscriber.

Once all the details are mapped correctly, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will create the subscriber in ConvertKit, and you can verify this by checking your ConvertKit dashboard.

5. Testing the Automation Process

To ensure the automation is working correctly, return to Google Sheets and add another dummy entry. This will trigger the workflow in Pabbly Connect again, creating a new subscriber in ConvertKit automatically.

After entering the new subscriber details, go back to ConvertKit and check if the new subscriber has been added. You should see the new entry with the details you provided, confirming that the integration works seamlessly.

In summary, using Pabbly Connect allows you to automate the process of creating ConvertKit subscribers from new Google Sheets rows efficiently. This integration saves time and reduces manual work significantly.
