2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once logged into Pabbly Connect, the next step is to create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. A pop-up window will appear where you can name your workflow. Name it something descriptive, such as ‘Enroll ThriveCard User on Google Form Submission.’ Select the appropriate folder for your workflow and click on ‘Create’.

• Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button.
• Name your workflow appropriately.
• Select a folder for organization.

In this workflow, you will set up a trigger and an action. The trigger is the event that starts the workflow, while the action is what happens as a result. You will set Google Forms as the trigger application and configure it to respond to new form submissions.

3. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In the workflow window, locate the trigger section. Search for ‘Google Forms’ and select it as your trigger application. Choose the trigger event as ‘New Response Received’. This event will activate the workflow whenever a new submission is made through your Google Form.

To connect Google Forms to Pabbly Connect, you will need to use the provided webhook URL. Copy this URL, which acts as a bridge between Google Forms and Pabbly Connect. After copying the webhook URL, navigate back to your Google Form.

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

In your Google Form, go to the ‘Responses’ tab and link your form to a Google Sheet to track submissions. This spreadsheet will capture all responses, which will then be sent to Pabbly Connect through the webhook.

4. Connecting Google Forms to Pabbly Connect

Next, to connect Google Forms with Pabbly Connect, you need to set up the webhook. In your Google Sheet, go to the ‘Extensions’ tab, find the Pabbly Connect add-on, and click on ‘Initial Setup’. Here, paste the copied webhook URL and specify the trigger column, which should be the last column with data.

After setting up the webhook, enable the ‘Send on Event’ option. This setting ensures that every time a new response is added to the specified column, the data will be sent to Pabbly Connect automatically.

Go to ‘Extensions’ in your Google Sheet. Select Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Initial Setup’. Paste the webhook URL and set the trigger column.

After completing this setup, test your connection by submitting a new response in your Google Form. This action should send the data to Pabbly Connect, confirming that the integration is functioning correctly.

5. Enrolling Users in ThriveCard Using Pabbly Connect

Now that you have set up the trigger, it’s time to configure the action step in Pabbly Connect. Search for ‘ThriveCard’ and select it as your action application. The action event should be set to ‘Create New Student’. This event will allow you to enroll users based on the data received from the Google Form submission.

To connect ThriveCard with Pabbly Connect, you will need an API key from your ThriveCard account. Log in to ThriveCard, navigate to the API section, and generate a new API key. Copy this key and paste it into Pabbly Connect to establish the connection.

Select ThriveCard as your action application. Set the action event to ‘Create New Student’. Generate and copy your API key from ThriveCard.

Finally, map the required fields from the Google Form response to the ThriveCard action. This mapping ensures that when a new form is submitted, the user’s details are automatically filled in, and they are enrolled in the specified course in ThriveCard.
