2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect
In this section, you will create a workflow to connect Google Sheets with Gmail using Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button at the top right corner of the screen. A dialog box will appear asking for a name for your workflow. You can name it ‘Google Sheets to Gmail’ or any name of your choice.
- Click on ‘Create’ to proceed.
- You will see two windows: Trigger and Action.

After selecting Google Sheets, you will choose the trigger event as ‘New Spreadsheet Row’. This means that whenever a new row is added to your Google Sheet, it will trigger the action of sending an email via Gmail. This integration is made possible entirely through Pabbly Connect.
3. Setting Up Google Sheets for Integration
Next, it’s essential to prepare your Google Sheets for integration with Pabbly Connect. Open your Google Sheet, and ensure you have the necessary columns, such as customer name, email, product, quantity, amount billed, and amount due. This is crucial for the mail merge process.
To integrate, navigate to the ‘Add-ons’ menu in Google Sheets. Look for Pabbly Connect Webhooks and click on it. If you haven’t installed it yet, you can do so by searching in the Google Workspace Marketplace. Once installed, remember to refresh your Google Sheet.
- Go to Add-ons > Pabbly Connect Webhooks > Initial Setup.
- Input the Webhook URL and set the trigger column to the last data entry column.
- Click on Submit to save your settings.
This setup allows Pabbly Connect to monitor changes in your Google Sheet and send data to Gmail when a new entry is made.
4. Sending Emails via Gmail through Pabbly Connect
Now that your Google Sheets is set up, the next step is to configure Gmail to send emails using Pabbly Connect. In the action window of your workflow, select Gmail as the action app and choose the action event as ‘Send Email’. Click on ‘Connect’ to establish a connection with your Gmail account.
Upon connecting, you will be prompted to authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Gmail account. This is a crucial step to ensure that your emails can be sent securely. Once authorized, you will see fields for recipient name, email address, and email content.
Map the recipient name and email address from your Google Sheet data. Set the email subject and compose the email content. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to send a test email.
Once you send the test email, check the recipient’s inbox to confirm that the email was sent successfully. This demonstrates the seamless integration facilitated by Pabbly Connect.
