After copying the Webhook URL, navigate to your Google Form. Under the ‘Responses’ tab, link your form to a new Google Sheets spreadsheet. This spreadsheet will store all form responses, allowing Pabbly Connect to access them.

3. Configuring Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect

Next, you need to configure Google Sheets to work with Pabbly Connect. In your Google Sheets, go to the ‘Extensions’ menu, click on ‘Add-ons’, and then select ‘Get Add-ons’. Search for ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ and install the add-on.

After installation, refresh your Google Sheets. Then, go back to the ‘Extensions’ menu, find ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’, and click on ‘Initial Setup’. Here, you will need to paste the Webhook URL you copied earlier and select the trigger column, which should be the last column of your sheet.

Connect your Google Calendar account by clicking on the ‘Sign in with Google’ button. Select the calendar where you want to create the event. Map the fields from your Google Form responses to the Google Calendar event, including the event title, description, start time, and end time.

• Ensure the start and end times are in the correct format as required by Google Calendar.
• Add any guests by mapping their email addresses from the form responses.

Finally, test the integration by submitting a response through your Google Form. Check your Google Calendar to confirm that the event has been created successfully.

5. Testing and Verifying the Integration

After setting up the automation, it is crucial to test and verify that everything works as intended using Pabbly Connect. Go back to your Google Form and submit a new response. Ensure that the details entered match the event you want to create in Google Calendar.

Once you submit the form, check your Google Calendar for the new event. The event should reflect the details provided in the form submission, including the title, date, and time. If the event appears as expected, your automation is successfully set up.

Repeat the testing process with different submissions to ensure consistent performance. This way, you can automate event creation for various responses using Pabbly Connect seamlessly.
