Pabbly Connect is the central platform that facilitates the integration between Jotform and Dove Soft SMS. To start, you need to access your Pabbly Connect dashboard. If you don’t have an account, you can sign up for free using the link in the description. using Pabbly Connect

Once logged in, click on ‘Create Workflow’ and name your workflow, for example, ‘Jotform to Dove Soft SMS.’ Select the appropriate folder in your Pabbly Connect account where you want to save this workflow and click on ‘Create’ to open the workflow.

2. Creating a Trigger for New Jotform Submission

In this step, you will set up the trigger in Pabbly Connect to listen for new submissions from Jotform. In the trigger section, search for ‘Jotform’ and select it as the app. Then, choose the trigger event as ‘New Response.’ Pabbly Connect will generate a webhook URL for you. using Pabbly Connect

• Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.
• Go to your Jotform account and open the form you want to connect.
• Navigate to Settings > Integrations, and search for ‘Webhook’.
• Paste the copied webhook URL and complete the integration.

After completing the integration, Pabbly Connect will be ready to receive data whenever a new form submission occurs in Jotform. This setup ensures that every time a user submits the form, their details will be sent to Pabbly Connect.

3. Testing the Jotform Integration with Pabbly Connect

To test the integration, you will need to make a test submission on your Jotform. Fill out the form with dummy data, including the name, mobile number, and email address. After submitting the form, check Pabbly Connect to see if the new response has been captured. using Pabbly Connect

When the test submission is successful, Pabbly Connect will display the details of the form submission, including the name and mobile number of the user. This confirms that the trigger is functioning correctly and that data is being transmitted from Jotform to Pabbly Connect.

4. Sending SMS Using Dove Soft SMS through Pabbly Connect

With the trigger set up and tested, the next step is to send an SMS using Dove Soft SMS. In the action step of your workflow, search for ‘Dove Soft SMS’ and select it. Choose the action event as ‘Send SMS’ and click on ‘Connect’ to set up the connection with your Dove Soft account. using Pabbly Connect

• Enter your Dove Soft SMS username and API key to connect.
• In the SMS body, you can write a message like: ‘Hello [First Name], thank you for your feedback!’
• Map the mobile number field from the Jotform response to the SMS action.

After configuring the SMS settings, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. If successful, you will receive a notification confirming that the SMS has been sent to the user’s mobile number. This completes the integration process, ensuring that every new form submission triggers an SMS notification.
