1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Automation

To automate sending Telegram invites via WhatsApp upon Google Forms submissions, start by accessing Pabbly Connect. This integration platform allows you to connect various applications seamlessly.

Log into your Pabbly Connect account. If you do not have an account, you can create a free one in just a few minutes. Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard and click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to begin.

2. Creating Your Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will name your workflow. For this integration, name it ‘Send Telegram Channel Invitation on WhatsApp from Google Forms’. Select the main workflow folder and click on ‘Create’.

• Choose Google Forms as the trigger application.
• Select ‘New Response Received’ as the trigger event.
• Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.

Now, you need to integrate Google Forms with Pabbly Connect using the copied webhook URL. This URL will capture the form submission data and send it to Pabbly Connect.

3. Connecting Google Forms to Pabbly Connect

To connect Google Forms with Pabbly Connect, open the associated Google Sheets for your form. Use the ‘Add-ons’ menu to find and install the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on if you haven’t done so already.

After installing, click on ‘Initial Setup’ under the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on and paste the copied webhook URL. Set the trigger column to the final data column where responses will populate. This setup ensures that every new form submission sends data to Pabbly Connect.

4. Integrating Telegram with Pabbly Connect

Next, you will create a Telegram bot to generate channel invitation links. Use the BotFather in Telegram to create a new bot and obtain the token. This token is crucial for connecting your Telegram bot to Pabbly Connect.

In Pabbly Connect, select Telegram as the action application and choose ‘Create Chat Invite Link’ as the action event. Paste the bot token obtained from BotFather to establish the connection.

• Provide the chat ID for your Telegram channel.
• Set the expiry date for the invitation link.
• Define the member limit for the invitation link.

Once configured, Pabbly Connect will automatically create a Telegram invitation link whenever a new response is received from Google Forms.

5. Sending the Telegram Link via WhatsApp

The final step is to send the generated Telegram invitation link to the user via WhatsApp. For this, select WhatsApp as the action application in Pabbly Connect and choose ‘Send Template Message’ as the action event.

Connect your WhatsApp account using the API endpoint and access token from your WhatsApp provider, such as Wati. Map the WhatsApp number from the Google Forms submission to send the message directly to the user.

Select the template message that contains the invitation link. Customize the message with user-specific details. Test the workflow to ensure messages are sent correctly.

With this setup, Pabbly Connect will automatically send the Telegram invitation link via WhatsApp every time someone submits the Google Form.
