2. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will set up the trigger that initiates the workflow in Pabbly Connect. Select Typeform as your trigger application and choose the trigger event as ‘New Entry’. This will allow the workflow to activate every time a new entry is submitted on your Typeform.

• Choose Typeform as the trigger application.
• Select ‘New Entry’ as the trigger event.
• Connect your Typeform account by providing necessary permissions.

After connecting your Typeform account, select the specific form you want to monitor for submissions. This sets the stage for the next step where you will test the trigger to ensure it captures the submission data correctly.

3. Testing the Trigger for Typeform Submissions

Once you’ve set up the trigger in Pabbly Connect, it’s crucial to test it. This involves submitting a test entry through your Typeform. Fill in the required fields like first name, last name, email address, and submit the form.

After submission, return to Pabbly Connect to check if the data has been captured successfully. You should see the details of the test submission, confirming that the trigger is functioning as intended. This step is essential to ensure that your workflow will operate smoothly when real submissions come in.

4. Setting Up SMTP Action in Pabbly Connect

Now that your trigger is set up and tested, it’s time to configure the SMTP action in Pabbly Connect. Click on the actions tab and select the SMTP module. This allows you to send emails through various SMTP service providers like SendGrid, Amazon SES, or Mailchimp.

• Choose the SMTP service provider (e.g., SendGrid).
• Enter the SMTP host name, username, and password.
• Select the encryption type (TLS or SSL) and enter the port number.

Fill in the sender’s name and email address, then map the recipient’s email from the Typeform submission. You can customize the email subject and body to include personalized information from the submission, ensuring effective communication.

5. Testing the SMTP Connection and Finalizing the Workflow

After configuring the SMTP settings in Pabbly Connect, it’s time to test the connection. Use the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button to send a test email to the mapped recipient’s email address. This verifies that your SMTP setup is correct and functional.

Once you receive the test email, check its content to ensure everything is formatted correctly. If the email is sent successfully, your workflow is now complete. The automation will trigger every time there is a new Typeform submission, sending emails automatically without any manual effort.
