Once logged in, you will see various Pabbly applications. Click on ‘Access Now’ under Pabbly Connect to reach your dashboard. Here, you can create a new workflow by clicking on the ‘Create Workflow’ button, which is essential for setting up your email automation.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will create a workflow that connects Webflow and Gmail using Pabbly Connect. After clicking ‘Create Workflow’, you will be prompted to name your workflow. Name it something like ‘Automated Emails on Webflow Form Submission’ and select a folder for organization.

• Click ‘Create’ to initiate the workflow.
• Select Webflow as the trigger application.
• Choose ‘New Form Submission’ as the trigger event.

After selecting the trigger, Pabbly Connect will provide you with a webhook URL. Copy this URL, as it will be necessary for connecting your Webflow account to the workflow. This URL acts as a bridge, ensuring that data from your Webflow form submissions is sent to Pabbly Connect.

3. Configuring Webflow to Work with Pabbly Connect

Next, you need to configure your Webflow account to use the webhook URL generated by Pabbly Connect. Log in to your Webflow account and navigate to the form you want to connect. Click on the three dots next to the form and select ‘Settings’.

• Go to the ‘Integrations’ tab.
• Select ‘Add Webhook’ and choose ‘Form Submission’ as the trigger type.
• Paste the copied webhook URL from Pabbly Connect.

After adding the webhook, click ‘Save’ and then ‘Publish’ to ensure your changes are active. This step is crucial as it ensures that every form submission will trigger the automation set in Pabbly Connect.

4. Setting Up Gmail Integration in Pabbly Connect

Now that your Webflow form is connected, it’s time to set up Gmail as the action application in Pabbly Connect. Go back to your workflow and select ‘Gmail’ as the action application. For the action event, choose ‘Send Email’.

Click on ‘Connect’ to link your Gmail account. If you haven’t connected your Gmail before, you will need to authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Gmail account. Follow the prompts to grant permissions. Once connected, you can begin mapping the fields from the Webflow submission to your email.

Map the recipient email address from the Webflow form submission. Set up the email subject and content to include personalized details. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to check if the email is sent successfully.

Upon successful mapping and testing, your Gmail will send out confirmation emails automatically to leads as soon as they submit a form on Webflow. This integration through Pabbly Connect ensures timely communication with your potential customers.

5. Testing Your Automation with Pabbly Connect

To finalize your setup, it’s essential to test the entire automation process. Go back to your Webflow form and perform a test submission. Fill in the required fields and submit the form. After submission, check the Gmail account linked with Pabbly Connect to verify that the confirmation email was received.

If everything is set up correctly, you should see the email reflecting the details from your test submission. This confirms that Pabbly Connect is effectively automating your email responses based on Webflow form submissions.

In summary, using Pabbly Connect to integrate Webflow and Gmail not only streamlines your email communication but also enhances lead management efficiency. You can now ensure that every lead receives immediate acknowledgment, improving engagement and nurturing processes.
