1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Google Forms Integration

To start integrating Google Forms with WhatsApp notifications, you need to access Pabbly Connect. Begin by visiting the Pabbly website and signing in to your account. If you don’t have an account, you can sign up for free, which takes just a couple of minutes.

Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard where you will see various Pabbly applications. Click on the ‘Access Now’ button under Pabbly Connect to enter the workflow section. Here, you can create new workflows to automate tasks between applications.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

To create a new workflow in Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. A pop-up window will appear, prompting you to name your workflow. Name it something descriptive, like ‘WhatsApp Notification for Google Form Submission’. Select the folder where you want to save this workflow, then click ‘Create’.

• Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button.
• Name your workflow appropriately.
• Select a folder to save the workflow.

After creating the workflow, you will see two sections: Trigger and Action. The Trigger section is where you will set the event that starts the workflow, while the Action section defines what happens when the trigger occurs. Start by selecting Google Forms as your trigger application.

3. Setting Up the Trigger with Google Forms

In the Trigger section of Pabbly Connect, search for and select Google Forms. You will then need to choose a trigger event. Select ‘New Response Received’ as the trigger event. This will ensure the workflow activates whenever a new response is submitted in your Google Form.

Next, you will need to connect your Google Forms to Pabbly Connect. This involves copying a webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect. This URL acts as a bridge between Google Forms and Pabbly Connect. Paste this URL into the Google Sheets that receives responses from your form.

• Select the ‘New Response Received’ trigger event.
• Copy the webhook URL from Pabbly Connect.
• Paste the URL into your Google Sheets.

Once you have set this up, you can test the connection by submitting a dummy response in your Google Form. This will help verify that the data is being sent to Pabbly Connect correctly.

4. Configuring WhatsApp Notifications with Pabbly Connect

After setting up the trigger, it’s time to configure the action for WhatsApp notifications. In the Action section of Pabbly Connect, search for and select the application ‘WT I’. Choose the action event as ‘Send Template Message’.

To connect WT I with Pabbly Connect, you will need to provide an API endpoint and access token from your WT I account. After entering these credentials, click on ‘Save’ to establish the connection.

Select ‘Send Template Message’ as the action event. Enter your WT I API endpoint and access token. Click ‘Save’ to connect WT I with Pabbly Connect.

Next, fill in the WhatsApp number where you want to receive the notifications and select the message template you created in WT I. Map the response data from the Google Form to the WhatsApp message template to ensure the correct information is sent.

5. Testing the Integration and Finalizing the Setup

With everything configured in Pabbly Connect, it’s time to test the integration. Submit another response through your Google Form and check if you receive the WhatsApp notification. The message should include the details from the form submission.

If the message is sent successfully, your integration is complete. You can now automate this process for future Google Form submissions. This setup will ensure you receive timely notifications directly on WhatsApp whenever a new response is recorded.

Submit a new response in Google Form to test. Check your WhatsApp for the notification message. Ensure all details are correctly mapped in the message.

This integration between Google Forms and WhatsApp via Pabbly Connect enhances your workflow efficiency by automating notifications, allowing you to stay updated on submissions without manual checks.

Conclusion

In summary, using Pabbly Connect to integrate Google Forms with WhatsApp notifications streamlines your workflow, ensuring you receive immediate alerts for new submissions. This setup is simple to implement and significantly enhances your operational efficiency.
