Once logged in, navigate to the Pabbly Connect section from the dashboard. Here, you can manage your workflows. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to start setting up your automation.

2. Creating the Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After accessing Pabbly Connect, you will need to create a new workflow. Name it ‘How to Create Mailchimp Subscriber from New Google Sheets Table Row’ and select the appropriate folder for organization. This is crucial for keeping your workflows structured.

• Click on ‘Create’ to initiate the workflow.
• Define the trigger application as Google Sheets.
• Set the trigger event to ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’.

This setup allows Pabbly Connect to listen for new rows added to your Google Sheets, which will initiate the automation process.

3. Connecting Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect

To link Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect, you will need a webhook URL provided during the trigger setup. Go to your Google Sheets and click on ‘Extensions’ followed by ‘Add-ons’ and then ‘Get Add-ons’ to install the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on.

After installation, navigate back to ‘Extensions’ and select ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’. Click on ‘Initial Setup’ and paste the webhook URL from Pabbly Connect into the designated field. Set the trigger column to the final data entry column, which is typically column D.

4. Sending Data from Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect

Once the setup is complete, return to Google Sheets and enter a new subscriber’s details in the specified columns. This action will trigger the webhook, sending the data to Pabbly Connect. You should see a confirmation message indicating that the data has been successfully captured.

• Ensure that the first row contains headers for each column.
• Enter complete details like first name, last name, phone number, and email.

This step validates that your Google Sheets is correctly integrated with Pabbly Connect and ready to send data to Mailchimp.

5. Creating Mailchimp Subscriber Using Pabbly Connect

Now that you have the data in Pabbly Connect, the next step is to create a subscriber in Mailchimp. Set Mailchimp as your action application and choose the action event as ‘Add New Member with Custom Fields’. If you don’t have an existing connection, you will need to enter your Mailchimp API key.

After connecting, map the fields from the previous step to the Mailchimp fields. This includes the email address, status (set to subscribed), and any other relevant information. Completing this mapping ensures that every new subscriber added to Google Sheets is correctly reflected in Mailchimp.

Conclusion

Using Pabbly Connect, you can efficiently automate the process of creating Mailchimp subscribers from new Google Sheets rows. This integration saves time and ensures that your subscriber list is always up-to-date with minimal effort.
