1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start the integration process using Pabbly Connect, first, access the platform by visiting its website. You can either sign in if you are an existing user or click on the ‘Sign Up for Free’ button to create a new account. This step is essential to automate your workflows effectively.

Once signed in, you will be directed to the dashboard of Pabbly Connect. Here, you can create new workflows and manage existing ones. Make sure to explore the various features available to maximize your automation capabilities.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Creating a new workflow in Pabbly Connect is straightforward. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button, and a dialog box will prompt you to name your workflow. For this integration, name it something descriptive, such as ‘Create or Update Mailer Cloud Subscriber on Paperform Submission’.

• Select a folder to organize your workflow.
• Choose the appropriate trigger and action applications.
• Define the trigger event that will initiate the workflow.

After naming your workflow and selecting the folder, click on ‘Create’. You will see two main sections: Trigger and Action. This is where you will set up how Pabbly Connect will respond to submissions from Paperform.

3. Setting Up the Trigger with Paperform

In this step, you will configure the trigger application, which is Paperform. Select Paperform as your trigger application and choose the event ‘New Form Submission’. This means that every time a form is submitted, Pabbly Connect will initiate the automation process.

Once the trigger is set, Pabbly Connect will provide you with a webhook URL. This URL acts as a bridge to connect Paperform with Pabbly Connect. You need to copy this URL and paste it into the Paperform settings under the integration section.

4. Configuring Paperform to Send Webhook Responses

After copying the webhook URL, navigate to your Paperform account and select the form you want to connect. In the form settings, look for the option labeled ‘After Submission’. Here, you will find the integrations section where you can add the webhook response.

• Select the ‘Webhook’ option and click on ‘Add Webhook’.
• Paste the copied webhook URL into the designated field.
• Set the event to trigger on ‘New Submission’.

Once configured, save the changes in Paperform. This will ensure that every time a form is submitted, the data will be sent to Pabbly Connect, and you can proceed to the next step of adding the subscriber to Mailer Cloud.

5. Adding the Subscriber to Mailer Cloud

Now that the trigger is set, it’s time to configure the action application, which is Mailer Cloud. In Pabbly Connect, select Mailer Cloud as your action application and choose the event ‘Create or Update Subscriber’. This allows you to add new leads or update existing contacts in your email list.

To establish a connection with Mailer Cloud, you will need to provide an API key. Navigate to your Mailer Cloud account, go to the account settings, and find the API integration section to generate a new API key. Once you have the key, paste it back into Pabbly Connect to complete the connection.

Next, map the required fields such as email address, first name, last name, and city from the Paperform submission to Mailer Cloud. This mapping ensures that every time a form is submitted, the correct information is sent to Mailer Cloud, automating your email marketing efforts seamlessly.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we explored how to use Pabbly Connect to automate the process of adding or updating subscribers in Mailer Cloud whenever a Paperform submission occurs. This integration streamlines your email marketing efforts, saving you time and effort while enhancing lead management.
