1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start the integration process, you need to access Pabbly Connect. Begin by signing into your Pabbly account. Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard where you will find various applications available for integration.

Click on the ‘Access Now’ button to enter the Pabbly Connect dashboard. Here, you will see a prominent blue button labeled ‘Create Workflow’. Click this button to initiate the workflow creation process.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will create a workflow to upload files from Google Drive to Webflow using Pabbly Connect. Name your workflow appropriately, such as ‘Upload Google Drive File to Webflow’, and click on ‘Create’. This action generates a blank workflow where you will define the trigger and action.

• Define the Trigger as Google Drive
• Set the Action to Webflow
• Ensure both applications are open for integration

With your workflow created, you’ll notice the two main modules: Trigger and Action. The Trigger module will be set to detect when a new file is uploaded to a specific folder in Google Drive. The Action module will then create a live item in Webflow based on that uploaded file.

3. Setting Up Google Drive as a Trigger

To configure Google Drive as the trigger in Pabbly Connect, select the event ‘New File in Specific Folder’. This allows the workflow to monitor a designated folder for new uploads. Make sure to connect your Google account by clicking on ‘Connect’ and follow the prompts to authorize access.

After connecting, select the specific folder you want to monitor. For this example, we will use a folder named ‘demo one’. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to check if the connection works. If no files exist, upload a test file to the designated folder and repeat the test request.

4. Configuring Webflow as the Action

Now, it’s time to set up Webflow as the action in your Pabbly Connect workflow. Choose the event ‘Create Live Item’ to display the uploaded file on your website. Click on ‘Connect’ and create a new connection using your Webflow API token.

• Copy the Bearer token provided by Webflow
• Generate a new API token from Webflow site settings
• Paste the token in Pabbly Connect with the Bearer prefix

After connecting, select the appropriate collection in Webflow where you want to upload the files. Fill in the required fields such as email address, caption, and image link. Ensure to set the archived and draft fields to false to avoid errors.

5. Testing the Integration Workflow

With both Google Drive and Webflow set up in Pabbly Connect, it’s time to test the integration. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ in the Webflow action module. If everything is configured correctly, you should receive a success response indicating that the file has been uploaded.

To verify, go back to your Webflow dashboard and refresh the page. You should see the newly uploaded file along with the corresponding details such as the email address and caption. This confirms that your automation is working as intended.
