1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for User Creation

To create WordPress users in bulk from Google Sheets, you need to access Pabbly Connect. Start by visiting the Pabbly Connect homepage, where you can sign in if you’re an existing user or sign up for a free account if you’re new. This platform allows you to automate the integration process without any coding skills.

After signing in, navigate to the ‘All Apps’ section and select Pabbly Connect to access the dashboard. Here, you can create workflows that connect different applications, including Google Sheets, WordPress, and Gmail, to streamline your user creation process.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this section, you’ll learn how to set up a new workflow in Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and name your workflow, such as ‘Create WordPress Users from Google Sheets.’ Select the folder where you want to save this workflow.

• Name your workflow appropriately.
• Choose the folder for saving the workflow.
• Understand the trigger-action mechanism in Pabbly Connect.

Once the workflow is created, you’ll see two windows for triggers and actions. Select Google Sheets as your trigger application and choose the event ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. This will allow the workflow to activate whenever new data is added to your Google Sheets.

3. Connecting Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect

To connect Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect, you will need to copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly after setting up your trigger. This URL acts as a bridge for sending data from Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect.

Go to your Google Sheets, click on ‘Extensions,’ and find the Pabbly Connect Webhook add-on. If you haven’t installed it yet, search for it in the Google Workspace Marketplace and install it. After installation, refresh your Google Sheets to see the new option.

• Install the Pabbly Connect Webhook add-on.
• Paste the webhook URL into the add-on.
• Set the trigger column for capturing data.

After completing the initial setup in Google Sheets, ensure that you click on the ‘Send Test’ button to verify that the connection has been established successfully. This allows Pabbly Connect to receive data from your Google Sheets seamlessly.

4. Creating Users in WordPress via Pabbly Connect

Now that you have connected Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect, it’s time to create users in WordPress. In the action step of your workflow, select WordPress as the application and choose the action event ‘Create User’. You will need to connect your WordPress account by entering your username, password, and base URL.

Make sure to enter the correct base URL, which you can find in your WordPress site’s URL. For example, if your site URL is ‘https://example.com/wp-admin/’, your base URL will be ‘https://example.com/’. After entering your credentials, click on ‘Save’ to establish the connection.

Select the user details from the Google Sheets response. Map the email, username, and password fields accordingly. Choose the user role you want to assign in WordPress.

Once you have mapped the necessary fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure that the user is created successfully in WordPress. If successful, you will see the user ID in the response, confirming that the integration works.

5. Sending Login Credentials via Gmail

After successfully creating users in WordPress, the next step is to send their login credentials via email using Gmail through Pabbly Connect. Add a new action step and select Gmail as your application, then choose the action event ‘Send Email’.

Connect your Gmail account and fill in the recipient’s email address, which should be the user’s email address mapped from the previous step. You can customize the email content, including the username and password, to ensure that each user receives their specific credentials.

Customize the email subject and body. Use HTML formatting for better presentation. Test the email to ensure it is sent correctly.

Once the email is sent, you can check the recipient’s inbox to confirm that they received their login credentials successfully. This finalizes the workflow, allowing you to create WordPress users in bulk and send them their login information seamlessly.

Conclusion

Using Pabbly Connect, you can easily create WordPress users in bulk from Google Sheets and automate the process of sending login credentials via Gmail. This tutorial demonstrates how to set up the integration step by step, ensuring a smooth workflow without any coding required.
