To automate employee feedback surveys, the first step is accessing Pabbly Connect. This powerful integration platform allows you to connect Google Forms with Google Chat seamlessly. Start by visiting the Pabbly Connect website and signing in or creating a new account if you don’t have one.

Once logged in, you will see the dashboard. Here, you can create workflows that automate tasks. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to begin setting up the integration between Google Forms and Google Chat.

2. Creating the Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will create a new workflow in Pabbly Connect. Name your workflow something descriptive like ‘Automate Employee Feedback Surveys’. After naming, select the appropriate folder to save your workflow. This organization helps manage multiple workflows effectively.

• Click on ‘Create’ to start building the workflow.
• Set Google Forms as the trigger application.
• Select ‘New Response Received’ as the trigger event.

After setting the trigger, you need to connect Google Forms with Pabbly Connect by using the provided BB URL. This URL acts as a bridge between the two applications, ensuring that data flows seamlessly from Google Forms to your desired action in Google Chat.

3. Setting Up Google Forms for Responses

Next, you will configure Google Forms to send responses to Pabbly Connect. Open your Google Form and navigate to the ‘Responses’ tab. Here, you will link your Google Sheet where responses will be recorded. This is crucial for tracking feedback from employees.

To connect the Google Sheet, go to ‘Extensions’ and find the Pabbly Webhook add-on. If it’s not installed, you can easily add it from the Google Workspace Marketplace. Once installed, click on ‘Initial Setup’ in the Pabbly Webhook options and paste the BB URL you previously copied from Pabbly Connect.

4. Sending Messages to Google Chat

Now it’s time to set up the action in Pabbly Connect to send messages to Google Chat. Choose Google Chat as your action application and select ‘Create Custom Card Message’ as the action event. You will need to connect your Google Chat account to Pabbly Connect for this to work.

• Provide the Chat Webhook URL from your Google Chat space.
• Fill in the header title, subtitle, and necessary text to send.
• Use mapping to include employee feedback details in the message.

Once you have configured these settings, save your changes. This setup will ensure that every time a new response is received from the Google Form, it will automatically send a message to your Google Chat space with the details of the feedback.

5. Testing the Integration

After setting everything up, it’s essential to test the integration between Google Forms and Google Chat using Pabbly Connect. Fill out the Google Form with a test response and submit it. Check your Google Sheet to confirm that the response has been recorded correctly.

Next, switch to your Google Chat space and verify that the message containing the feedback has been sent successfully. This real-time communication is the core benefit of using Pabbly Connect for automating employee feedback surveys.

Conclusion

In conclusion, automating employee feedback surveys with Pabbly Connect allows for seamless integration between Google Forms and Google Chat. By following the steps outlined, you can enhance communication and efficiency in your HR processes. This integration ensures that feedback is shared promptly, improving overall employee satisfaction.
