1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Google Sheets and Notion Integration

To create Notion database items from Google Sheets, you need to first set up Pabbly Connect. Begin by signing into your Pabbly Connect account or create a new one if you are a new user. Once logged in, navigate to the Pabbly Connect dashboard.

Next, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located in the top right corner. In the dialog box that appears, name your workflow, for example, ‘Create Notion Database Items from Google Sheets’. Select a folder to save your workflow, such as ‘Google Sheets to Notion’, and click on ‘Create’ to proceed.

2. Choosing Trigger and Action Applications in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will choose the trigger and action applications using Pabbly Connect. The trigger application will be Google Sheets, and the action application will be Notion. Select Google Sheets as the trigger application and set the trigger event to ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’.

• Choose Google Sheets as the trigger application.
• Set the trigger event to ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’.
• Select Notion as the action application.
• Set the action event to ‘Create Database Item’.

By configuring these applications, you establish the necessary framework for your automation. This setup will allow Pabbly Connect to monitor your Google Sheets for new entries and trigger the creation of items in Notion.

3. Configuring Google Sheets for Pabbly Connect

Now, you need to configure your Google Sheets to work with Pabbly Connect. Open your Google Sheet where you maintain lead details, ensuring it has columns for first name, last name, email, phone number, city, and inquiry form details. This structure is essential for the integration.

To set up the connection, go to the ‘Extensions’ menu, select Pabbly Connect, and then click on ‘Webhooks’. From here, choose ‘Initial Setup’ and paste the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect. Set the trigger column as the final data column (e.g., column F) where you will add new lead details.

4. Sending Data to Pabbly Connect from Google Sheets

Once your Google Sheets is configured, you can start sending data to Pabbly Connect. After entering lead details in a new row of your Google Sheet, go back to the ‘Extensions’ menu, select Pabbly Connect, and click on ‘Send on Event’. This action sends the new row data to your Pabbly Connect workflow.

Make sure to refresh your Pabbly Connect dashboard to see the newly captured data. You should see the lead details populated in the response section, confirming that the integration is working correctly.

5. Mapping Data from Pabbly Connect to Notion

Now that you’ve captured data in Pabbly Connect, the next step is to map this data to create a new database item in Notion. Click on ‘Connect’ to link your Notion account with Pabbly Connect. You will need to allow access to the relevant pages in your Notion account.

Once connected, select the Notion database where you want to create the items. Use the mapping feature in Pabbly Connect to link the fields from your Google Sheets response to the corresponding fields in your Notion database. This ensures that every time a new lead is added, it will automatically populate the database correctly.

After mapping all necessary fields, click on ‘Save and Test Request’. If everything is set up correctly, you will receive a positive response confirming that a new item has been successfully created in your Notion database.
