To start automating the process of sending course enrollment documents, you need to access Pabbly Connect. Open your browser and navigate to the Pabbly Connect website. If you don’t have an account, click on the ‘Sign Up for Free’ button to create one, which takes only two minutes.

Once logged in, you will be directed to the dashboard of Pabbly Connect. Here, you can create a new workflow by clicking on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow according to your objective, such as ‘Send Course Enrollment Document via Gmail.’ After naming, click on ‘Create’ to proceed.

2. Setting Up the Trigger with Google Sheets

The first step in your workflow is to set up a trigger. For this integration, the trigger application will be Google Sheets. In Pabbly Connect, search for Google Sheets and select it as your trigger application.

• Choose the trigger event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’.
• Connect Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect using the provided webhook URL.
• Copy the webhook URL and paste it into the initial setup of your Google Sheets extension.

After completing the setup, send a test data entry from your Google Sheet to ensure that the connection is working properly. Once the test is successful, submit your setup.

3. Creating the Enrollment Certificate with Google Docs

With the trigger set up, the next step is to create the enrollment certificate using Google Docs. In Pabbly Connect, add an action step and select Google Docs as your action application.

Choose the action event as ‘Create Document from Template’. Connect your Google Docs account to Pabbly Connect, and select the enrollment certificate template you created earlier. This template should include placeholders for student details like name, course, and enrollment date.

• Map the required fields from the Google Sheets response to the corresponding placeholders in your Google Docs template.
• Specify the location in Google Drive where the document should be saved.

After mapping all necessary details, save the document and ensure that it is created successfully in your Google Drive.

4. Sharing the Document via Gmail

The next step is to share the created enrollment certificate via Gmail. In Pabbly Connect, add another action step and select Gmail as your action application.

Choose the action event as ‘Send Email V1’. Connect your Gmail account to Pabbly Connect and map the recipient’s email address from the Google Sheets response. Compose your email content, including a subject line that reflects the course name and a message body that welcomes the student.

Attach the PDF link of the enrollment certificate created earlier. Ensure the email content is personalized by mapping student details from the Google Sheets response.

Once all details are mapped, send a test email to verify that everything is functioning correctly. After confirming the email is sent successfully, your integration is complete.
