1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Google Sheets and Airtable Integration

To begin this integration process, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. Open your web browser and navigate to Pabbly.com. Once on the Pabbly homepage, hover over the ‘Products’ menu and select ‘Connect’. This is where you will create your workflow to connect Google Sheets and Airtable.

After signing in or creating a free account, you will be directed to the dashboard of Pabbly Connect. Here, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. You will be prompted to give your workflow a name, such as ‘Google Sheets to Airtable Integration’, and then click ‘Create’ to proceed.

2. Setting Up Google Sheets as the Trigger Application

In this section, we will set up Google Sheets as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. In your workflow, you will see two windows: one for the trigger and one for the action. Click on the trigger window, and from the list of applications, select ‘Google Sheets’.

Next, choose the trigger event as ‘New Spreadsheet Row’. This event will activate the workflow whenever a new row is added to your Google Sheets. After selecting the trigger, click on ‘Connect’ to link your Google Sheets account with Pabbly Connect. You will need to provide your Google account credentials and grant access.

• Select ‘Google Sheets’ as the trigger application.
• Choose the trigger event ‘New Spreadsheet Row’.
• Connect your Google account to Pabbly Connect.

After successfully connecting, you will be prompted to select the specific Google Sheet you want to monitor for new rows. Choose the appropriate sheet and click on ‘Save and send test request’ to verify that the connection is working.

3. Configuring Airtable as the Action Application

Now that we have set up Google Sheets as the trigger, the next step is to configure Airtable as the action application in Pabbly Connect. In the action window, search for and select ‘Airtable’. Then, choose the action event as ‘Create Record’. This action will create a new record in Airtable whenever a new row is added to Google Sheets.

Click on ‘Connect’ to link your Airtable account. You will need to provide your Airtable API key, which can be found in your Airtable account settings. Once connected, select the specific base and table where you want the new records to be created.

• Select ‘Airtable’ as the action application.
• Choose the action event ‘Create Record’.
• Connect your Airtable account using the API key.

After selecting the base and table, you will need to map the fields from Google Sheets to Airtable. This means you will link the data from the Google Sheets row to the corresponding fields in Airtable, ensuring all relevant information is transferred correctly.

4. Testing the Integration Between Google Sheets and Airtable

With both applications set up, it’s time to test the integration. Go back to your Google Sheets and add a new row with the required data. This data should include all fields that you have mapped to Airtable.

Once the new row is added, return to Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Save and send test request’ in the Airtable action step. This will create a new record in Airtable based on the data from the newly added row in Google Sheets. Check your Airtable to confirm that the record has been created successfully.

Add a new row in Google Sheets with the required data. Return to Pabbly Connect and test the action. Verify that the record appears in Airtable.

If everything is set up correctly, you should see the new record in Airtable reflecting the data from your Google Sheets. This confirms that the integration is functioning as intended.
