1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Jotform and Telegram Integration
To create a PDF from Jotform responses and share it on a Telegram group, we will use Pabbly Connect. Start by visiting the Pabbly Connect website and logging in to your account. If you are a new user, sign up for a free account to get started with 100 free tasks monthly.
Once logged in, navigate to the Pabbly Connect dashboard. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. You will need to name your workflow, for example, ‘Create PDF from Jotform Responses and Share on Telegram Group’. Select the appropriate folder to save your workflow, then click ‘Create’ to proceed.
2. Setting Jotform as the Trigger Application in Pabbly Connect
In this step, we will set Jotform as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Choose Jotform from the list of applications and select the ‘New Response’ trigger event. This means that every time a new response is submitted in Jotform, it will trigger the workflow.
- Select Jotform as the trigger application.
- Choose ‘New Response’ as the trigger event.
- Copy the provided webhook URL from Pabbly Connect.
Next, go to your Jotform account, find the form you want to connect, and click on the ‘Settings’ option. Under ‘Integrations’, select ‘Webhooks’, then paste the copied URL into the appropriate field and complete the integration. This will link your Jotform to Pabbly Connect.
3. Creating a PDF Document from Jotform Responses Using Google Docs
Once the Jotform trigger is set, the next step is to create a PDF using Google Docs through Pabbly Connect. For this, select Google Docs as your action application and choose ‘Create Document from Template’ as the action event. Ensure you have a template ready in Google Docs that will be used for generating the PDF.
Connect your Google account to Pabbly Connect and select the template document you created earlier. Map the necessary fields from the Jotform response to the Google Docs template. This mapping ensures that each PDF generated contains the correct information from the form responses.
- Select the template document from Google Docs.
- Map fields like first name, last name, and event details from Jotform.
- Save and send a test request to ensure the document is created successfully.
After saving the document, you will receive a confirmation response in Pabbly Connect indicating that the PDF document has been created successfully.
4. Sharing the PDF on Telegram Group Using Pabbly Connect
The final step is to share the generated PDF on your Telegram group. In Pabbly Connect, add another action step and select Telegram Bot as the application. Choose ‘Send a Text Message’ as the action event. You will need to connect your Telegram bot to Pabbly Connect using the token provided by the BotFather.
Once connected, enter the chat ID of your Telegram group where you want to send the PDF. You can easily find this ID in the URL of your Telegram group. Map the sharable link of the PDF generated in the previous step into the message field so that the PDF is included in the message sent to the group.
Select Telegram Bot as the action application. Enter the chat ID and map the PDF link in the message. Save and send the test request to check if the message is sent successfully.
After performing these steps, check your Telegram group to confirm that the PDF has been successfully shared with your team.
