Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start the integration process, you will need to access Pabbly Connect. Visit the Pabbly website and sign in to your account. If you do not have an account, create one for free to access all features. Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard where you can create a new workflow.

Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and name it appropriately, such as ‘Google Sheets to Twilio Integration.’ This naming helps in identifying the workflow later. After naming, click on the create button to proceed with setting up the trigger and action for your workflow.

Configuring the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will configure the trigger that initiates the workflow. Select Google Sheets as the trigger application. Choose the trigger event as ‘New Spreadsheet Row’ which will activate the workflow whenever a new row is added to your specified Google Sheet. using Pabbly Connect

Next, you will need to connect your Google Sheets account. Once connected, select the specific spreadsheet you want to monitor for new entries. Ensure that the range includes all relevant data you want to send via SMS. After setting this up, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to confirm the connection and fetch the data from Google Sheets.

Setting Up Twilio as the Action Application

After configuring the trigger, the next step is to set Twilio as the action application. Select Twilio from the application list and choose the action event as ‘Send SMS.’ This action will send an SMS whenever a new entry is detected in Google Sheets. using Pabbly Connect

To connect Twilio, you will need your Twilio account SID and authentication token. These can be found in your Twilio dashboard. Enter these credentials in Pabbly Connect to establish the connection. After successfully connecting, you will need to map the SMS body, sender number, and recipient number using the data fetched from Google Sheets.

• Body of SMS: Customize the message you want to send.
• Sender Number: Enter your Twilio number.
• Recipient Number: Map this to the phone number field from Google Sheets.

Once all fields are mapped, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to send a test SMS. Check your Twilio account or the recipient’s phone to confirm that the SMS was sent successfully.

With both Google Sheets and Twilio configured, it’s time to finalize your workflow. Review all settings to ensure accuracy. Make sure that the trigger is set to monitor the correct Google Sheet and that the action is set to send SMS via Twilio correctly. using Pabbly Connect
