Choose the token type as ‘Bot’ for the Slack integration. Authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Slack account. Select the channel where you want to send notifications.

This integration ensures that every time a new registration is submitted through Google Forms, a message will be sent to your specified Slack channel via Pabbly Connect.

5. Testing the Integration Workflow

After setting up the integration, it’s crucial to test the workflow. Submit a test response in your Google Form to see if the details appear in your Google Sheets and if a notification is sent to Slack.

Once you submit the test response, check your Slack channel. You should see an automated message with the registration details. This confirms that the integration is working perfectly through Pabbly Connect. You can continue to monitor and adjust your workflow as needed.
