1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Automation

To begin automating the process of sending messages from Google Sheets to Telegram, you will first need to access Pabbly Connect. This integration platform allows you to create workflows that connect various applications seamlessly.

Start by signing up for a free account on Pabbly Connect. Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard where you can create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button, name your workflow, and select the appropriate folder for organization.

2. Setting Up Google Sheets as a Trigger in Pabbly Connect

After establishing your workflow in Pabbly Connect, the next step is to set Google Sheets as the trigger application. This means that whenever a new row is added to your Google Sheet, it will trigger an action in Telegram.

• Search for Google Sheets in the trigger app section.
• Select the trigger event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’.
• Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.

Next, go to your Google Sheet, click on Extensions, then Add-ons, and select ‘Get Add-ons’. Search for ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ and install it. After installing, refresh your Google Sheet to ensure the add-on is active.

3. Initial Setup of Google Sheets Add-on

Once the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on is installed, you need to set it up. Click on Extensions, hover over Pabbly Connect, and select ‘Initial Setup’. This will prompt you to enter specific information required for the integration.

• Choose the sheet that contains your data.
• Paste the copied webhook URL into the designated field.
• Identify the trigger column as the last data entry column.

After completing these fields, click on ‘Send Test’. If successful, a confirmation will appear in your Pabbly Connect workflow indicating that data has been received from Google Sheets.

4. Setting Up Telegram Integration in Pabbly Connect

With Google Sheets now connected to Pabbly Connect, the next step is to set up Telegram as the action app. Search for Telegram in the action app section and select it.

Choose the action event as ‘Send a Text Message’. You will then need to connect your Telegram bot to Pabbly Connect. To do this, create a bot using the BotFather on Telegram. After creating the bot, copy the API token provided and paste it into the connection settings in Pabbly Connect.

5. Finalizing the Automation Workflow

After connecting your Telegram bot, you need to specify the chat ID where messages will be sent. Open your Telegram group in the web app to find the chat ID in the URL. Copy this ID and paste it into your Pabbly Connect settings.

Then, create the message you want to send, incorporating dynamic fields from the Google Sheets data. Map the fields such as name, email, and mobile number from the trigger step to personalize your message. Finally, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify that the automation works correctly. You should see the message appear in your Telegram group almost instantly.

Conclusion
