1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To create WordPress users in bulk from Google Sheets, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. Start by visiting the Pabbly Connect homepage and signing in or creating a free account. This platform allows you to automate the process without any coding skills.

Once logged in, you will see the dashboard where you can create workflows. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to begin. Name your workflow, for example, ‘Create WordPress Users from Google Sheets’, and select a folder to save it. This setup is essential for organizing your automation tasks efficiently.

2. Setting Up the Trigger with Google Sheets

The first step in your workflow is to set up the trigger using Google Sheets. In Pabbly Connect, select Google Sheets as your trigger application. Choose the trigger event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’ to initiate the workflow whenever a new row is added.

• Select Google Sheets as the trigger application.
• Choose ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’ as the trigger event.
• Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.

After copying the webhook URL, go to your Google Sheets. Under the Extensions menu, find the Pabbly Connect Webhook add-on and paste the URL in the initial setup. Set the trigger column to the last column of your data, which will send the entire row to Pabbly Connect whenever a new entry is added.

3. Creating Users in WordPress

Now that the trigger is set up, it’s time to create users in WordPress. In Pabbly Connect, select WordPress as the action application. Choose the action event as ‘Create User’ to add users based on the data received from Google Sheets.

Connect your WordPress account by entering the necessary credentials: WordPress username, password, and base URL. Ensure that the base URL is the main URL of your WordPress site, excluding any additional paths. Once connected, you will need to map the fields from Google Sheets to the WordPress user fields.

• Map the email address from Google Sheets to the user email field.
• Create a dynamic username by combining the first and last names.
• Set a password format using the first name and a random number.

After mapping all required fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to create a user. If successful, you will see a confirmation message, indicating that the user has been created in your WordPress site.

4. Sending Email Credentials via Gmail

With users created, the next step is to send their login credentials via email. In Pabbly Connect, add another action step and select Gmail as the application to send emails. Choose the action event as ‘Send Email’.

Connect your Gmail account and begin mapping the fields. The recipient email should be the user’s email you just created. Set the sender name as your company name, for example, ‘Sparkle Events’, and write the email subject as ‘WordPress Login Credentials’.

Map the recipient email address from the previous step. Set the email content using HTML to format it properly. Include dynamic fields for username and password in the email body.

Once the email is set up, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will send the email to the new user, providing them with their login details.

5. Bulk Adding Users from Google Sheets

To add multiple users from Google Sheets, ensure your setup is complete. Go back to the Google Sheets and under the Pabbly Connect Webhook add-on, click on ‘Send All Data’. This action will trigger the workflow, creating all users in WordPress at once.

Once the data is sent, check your WordPress user section to verify that all users have been added successfully. You should also confirm that each user received their email with login credentials. This bulk automation process is seamless thanks to Pabbly Connect.

In summary, this process allows you to efficiently create WordPress users in bulk from Google Sheets using Pabbly Connect. By following these steps, you can automate user creation and notifications without any coding skills.

Conclusion

Using Pabbly Connect, you can easily create WordPress users in bulk from Google Sheets. This automation streamlines your workflow, saving time and effort while ensuring all users receive their login credentials promptly.
