1. Understanding the Integration of Google Sheets and Zoho Books Using Pabbly Connect

In this section, we will explore how to integrate Google Sheets with Zoho Books using Pabbly Connect. Google Sheets is an online spreadsheet program where you can manage data, while Zoho Books is a powerful accounting software. By using Pabbly Connect, you can automate the process of creating customers in Zoho Books from data entered in Google Sheets.

The main benefit of using Pabbly Connect is that it eliminates the need for manual data entry. Instead of creating customers one by one, you can set up an automated workflow that creates a new customer in Zoho Books every time a new row is added in Google Sheets. This not only saves time but also reduces the risk of errors.

2. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Google Sheets Integration

To start the integration process, you need to log in to your Pabbly Connect account. If you are a new user, you can sign up for free. Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard and click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button.

• Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button.
• Name your workflow, for example, ‘Google Sheets to Zoho Books’.
• Select Google Sheets as the trigger application.

After setting up the workflow name, you will need to choose the trigger event as ‘New Spreadsheet Row’. Pabbly Connect will provide you with a webhook URL that you will use in Google Sheets to connect the two applications.

3. Connecting Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect

Next, you will need to connect Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect using the webhook URL provided earlier. Open your Google Sheets and navigate to the ‘Add-ons’ menu. Select ‘Get Add-ons’ and search for ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’. Install this add-on.

After installation, refresh your Google Sheets, then go back to ‘Add-ons’, select ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’, and click on ‘Initial Setup’. You will see fields for the webhook URL and the trigger column. Paste the webhook URL here and specify the trigger column (e.g., column F for the last data entry).

4. Mapping Data to Zoho Books Using Pabbly Connect

Once Google Sheets is connected to Pabbly Connect, the next step is to set up the action to create a new contact in Zoho Books. In Pabbly Connect, choose Zoho Books as the action application and select the action event as ‘Create Contact’.

• Connect to your Zoho Books account by entering the domain name.
• Map the data from Google Sheets to the corresponding fields in Zoho Books.
• Test the integration by sending a test request to Zoho Books.

After mapping the necessary fields such as contact name, email, and organization name, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. If everything is set up correctly, a new contact will be created in Zoho Books with the information from Google Sheets.

5. Verifying the Integration of Google Sheets and Zoho Books

Finally, to verify that the integration works seamlessly, you can add a new row in your Google Sheets with customer details. After entering the information, check your Zoho Books account to see if the contact has been created automatically.

For instance, if you enter the first name ‘Jason’, last name ‘Matthew’, and email ‘[email protected]’ in Google Sheets, refresh your Zoho Books account. You should see the new contact created without any manual intervention, showcasing the real-time functionality of Pabbly Connect.
