Accessing Pabbly Connect for Email Automation

To start sending emails from Google Sheets using Pabbly Connect, first access the platform by visiting the Pabbly Connect homepage. You can sign in if you are an existing user or create a new account by clicking on the ‘Sign up for free’ button. This allows you to explore the capabilities of Pabbly Connect with 100 free tasks every month.

Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard where you can manage your workflows. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located at the top right corner. You will be prompted to name your workflow, for example, ‘Send Automated Email from Google Sheets Using Elastic Email,’ and choose a folder to save it. This setup is crucial as it prepares Pabbly Connect for the integration process.

Setting Up Trigger and Action in Pabbly Connect

In Pabbly Connect, the automation process is based on triggers and actions. For this integration, select Google Sheets as the trigger application. The trigger event you need is ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row,’ which ensures that every time a new row is added, the workflow is activated.

• Select Google Sheets as the trigger application.
• Choose the trigger event: New or Updated Spreadsheet Row.
• Copy the provided webhook URL for later use.

After setting up the trigger, you will need to connect your Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect using the copied webhook URL. This step is essential for sending data from Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect. Once configured, you can test the connection to ensure it is working correctly.

Connecting Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect

To connect Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect, go to your Google Sheets and click on ‘Extensions,’ then select ‘Add-ons.’ Search for ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ and install it if you haven’t already. After installation, refresh your Google Sheets to see the new option under Extensions.

Next, navigate to the ‘Initial Setup’ in the Pabbly Connect add-on. Paste the webhook URL you copied earlier and specify the trigger column, which is the last column that will contain data. For example, if your last column is D, enter ‘D’ as the trigger column. This setup allows Pabbly Connect to capture the entire row whenever data is entered in that column.

Sending Emails with Elastic Email via Pabbly Connect

After successfully connecting Google Sheets, the next step is to set up the action in Pabbly Connect. Select Elastic Email as the action application and choose the action event as ‘Send Transactional Email.’ This configuration allows you to send emails automatically to your customers based on the data in Google Sheets.

• Select Elastic Email as the action application.
• Choose ‘Send Transactional Email’ as the action event.
• Connect your Elastic Email account by entering your API key.

To obtain the API key, log into your Elastic Email account, go to settings, and create a new API key with full access. Copy this key and paste it into Pabbly Connect to establish the connection. Once connected, you can map the fields such as recipient email, subject line, and email content directly from the Google Sheets response.
