After completing the mapping, it’s time to finalize the integration. When you click on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button, Pabbly Connect will attempt to create a new user in WordPress using the data from the Google Sheets row. using Pabbly Connect

Once the test request is successful, you will receive a response indicating that a new user ID has been generated.
