1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Jotform and Google Drive Integration

To begin the process of downloading images from Jotform to Google Drive, you need to set up Pabbly Connect. Start by logging into your Pabbly Connect account and navigating to the dashboard. Here, you will create a new workflow that connects Jotform as the trigger application.

Once you select Jotform as your trigger application, you will need to set the trigger event as ‘Webhook Response’. This action allows Pabbly Connect to listen for incoming data from Jotform, which includes the image URL you wish to download. After setting this up, click on the ‘Save’ button to proceed.

2. Creating a Google Drive Folder Using Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will use Pabbly Connect to create a specific folder in Google Drive where the images will be stored. Click on the ‘+’ icon to add a new action and select Google Drive as the application.

• Choose the action event as ‘Create a File in a Specific Folder’.
• Connect your Google Drive account to Pabbly Connect.
• Create a new folder named ‘All Images Submitted by Freelancers’.

After creating the folder, refresh the connection to ensure the new folder appears in your list. This step is crucial as it allows you to access the newly created folder for storing images submitted through Jotform.

3. Mapping the Image URL from Jotform

Now that you have created a folder, the next step involves mapping the image URL received from Jotform into the workflow using Pabbly Connect. This is done by selecting the image URL from the Jotform webhook response data.

To do this, you will need to set up another action in Pabbly Connect. Choose Google Drive again and select the action event ‘Upload a File’. Connect to your Google Drive account if you haven’t already. You will then map the image URL from the previous step into the designated field.

• Ensure the URL is publicly accessible for successful downloading.
• Map the folder ID from the folder you created earlier.
• Set the file name using the freelancer’s name for better organization.

Once you have configured these settings, click on the ‘Save’ button to finalize the mapping process. Pabbly Connect will now facilitate the transfer of the image to your Google Drive.

4. Testing the Integration in Pabbly Connect

After setting up the mapping, the next step is to test the integration using Pabbly Connect. Trigger a test submission in Jotform to see if the image gets downloaded to the specified Google Drive folder correctly. This step is essential to ensure that everything is functioning as expected.

Once the test is completed, check your Google Drive for the new folder and the uploaded image. You should see the folder named ‘All Images Submitted by Freelancers’ with subfolders for each freelancer containing their respective images. This organization helps in managing submissions effectively.

If everything works perfectly, you can activate the workflow in Pabbly Connect to automate the process for future submissions. This ensures that every time a new image is submitted via Jotform, it will automatically be downloaded and saved in the designated Google Drive folder.
