Connect your Google Drive account by clicking on ‘Add New Connection’. Once connected, you will need to provide the details for the file you want to share. The file ID corresponds to the digital product stored in your Google Drive.

Map the file ID to the PDF file of your digital product. Use the email address of the customer from the payment response. Select the role as ‘Can View’ to allow customers to view the file.

Once all details are filled, click on ‘Save and Test’ to finalize the integration. This will ensure that whenever a payment is successful, the customer receives access to the digital product.

5. Testing the Integration and Receiving Access

To test the integration, you need to make a test payment through your checkout page. This is where customers will complete their purchases. Fill in the dummy details and make a successful payment using the test card.

After the payment is processed, return to Pabbly Connect to see the webhook response. You should see the details of the payment, including the customer’s email and the product purchased.

Confirm that the access email is sent to the customer. Check the email for the shared link to the digital product. Ensure that the link works correctly and the customer can view the product.

By following these steps, you have successfully integrated Pabbly Subscription Billing with Google Drive to automate the sharing of digital products.
