1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Webhook Integration

To capture webhook responses in Google Sheets, we will use Pabbly Connect. Start by visiting the Pabbly Connect website and signing in to your account. If you are a new user, you can sign up for free and get 100 free tasks each month.

Once logged in, you will see the dashboard. Click on the ‘Access Now’ button under the Pabbly Connect application. This will take you to the Pabbly Connect dashboard where you can create your workflow.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this step, we will create a workflow that captures webhook responses. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located at the top right corner of the dashboard. A dialog box will appear asking for a workflow name. using Pabbly Connect

• Name your workflow as ‘Capture Webhook Response in Google Sheets’.
• Select a folder to save your workflow, such as ‘Google Sheets Automations’.
• Click on the ‘Create’ button to finalize your workflow setup.

After creating the workflow, you will see two sections: ‘Trigger’ and ‘Action’. The trigger is the event that starts the automation, while the action is what happens as a result. We will set up our trigger step next.

3. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

To set up the trigger, click on the arrow in the trigger section and select ‘Webhook by Pabbly’ as the trigger application. Then, choose the trigger event as ‘Catch Webhook’. using Pabbly Connect

Pabbly Connect will generate a unique webhook URL. Copy this URL as you will need it to connect with the application from which you want to capture responses. For this tutorial, we will use the PAB Form Builder as an example.

• Open your PAB Form Builder application.
• Navigate to the ‘Integrations’ section and click on ‘Create Webhook’.
• Paste the copied webhook URL and click on ‘Save’.

Once the webhook is successfully added, return to your Pabbly Connect workflow. It should now be waiting for a webhook response.

4. Testing the Webhook Response

To ensure that the webhook is capturing responses properly, perform a test submission using the PAB Form Builder. Open the form, fill in the required fields, and submit the form.

After submitting the form, go back to your Pabbly Connect workflow to check if the webhook response has been captured. You should see the details of the submission reflected in the workflow.

Verify that the response includes all the fields such as first name, last name, email, and phone number. If the response is captured correctly, proceed to set up the action step.

This confirms that the trigger setup is working as intended, capturing the webhook response from the PAB Form Builder through Pabbly Connect.

5. Setting Up the Action to Send Data to Google Sheets

Next, we will set up the action step to send the captured webhook response to Google Sheets. In the action section, select ‘Google Sheets’ as the action application and choose the action event as ‘Add New Row’.

Click on the ‘Connect’ button to link your Google Sheets account with Pabbly Connect. Follow the prompts to authorize the connection. Once connected, select the spreadsheet where you want to store the data.

Choose the spreadsheet named ‘Webhook Responses’. Select the sheet where the data will be added, typically ‘Sheet1’. Map the fields from the webhook response to the corresponding columns in Google Sheets.

After mapping all the necessary fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. Check your Google Sheets to see if the new row with the captured data has been added successfully. This completes the integration process using Pabbly Connect.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we learned how to capture webhook responses in Google Sheets using Pabbly Connect. By following the steps outlined, you can automate the process of recording responses from applications not natively integrated with Google Sheets. This integration enhances your workflow efficiency, making data management seamless.
