Access Pabbly Connect for Integration

To send data from Google Sheets to MySQL, the first step is to access Pabbly Connect. Start by visiting the Pabbly website. Here, you have options to sign in or sign up for free. Signing up will grant you access to 100 tasks monthly, which is perfect for testing this integration.

Once you log in, you will be directed to the Pabbly Connect dashboard. From here, you can create a new workflow by clicking the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow appropriately, such as ‘Send Data from Google Sheets to MySQL Database’. This sets up the foundation for your integration process.

Setting Up Trigger with Google Sheets

The next step involves setting up the trigger in Pabbly Connect. In this case, the trigger application will be Google Sheets. Select Google Sheets as your trigger application and choose the event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. This will allow Pabbly Connect to detect any new data entries in your Google Sheet.

After selecting the trigger event, you will need to connect Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect. This is done using a webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect. Follow these steps to connect:

• Copy the webhook URL from Pabbly Connect.
• Open Google Sheets and navigate to Extensions > Add-ons > Get Add-ons.
• Search for Pabbly Connect Webhooks and install the add-on.

Once installed, go back to Extensions > Pabbly Connect Webhooks > Initial Setup. Here, paste the copied webhook URL and specify the trigger column where data will be entered. Click ‘Send Test’ to ensure the connection works before submitting.

Configuring Action with MySQL

After successfully setting up the trigger, the next step is to configure the action. In Pabbly Connect, select MySQL as your action application and choose the action event as ‘Insert Row’. This action will enable you to send the data collected from Google Sheets directly into your MySQL database.

To establish the connection, click on ‘Connect’, and then ‘Add New Connection’. Fill in the required MySQL server details, including server name, username, password, and database name. After entering the details, click ‘Save’ to connect your MySQL account to Pabbly Connect.

Next, select the table where you want to insert the data. For example, if your table is named ‘New Contacts’, select this table. You will then map the columns in your MySQL database to the corresponding data fields from Google Sheets, ensuring that all relevant information is accurately transferred.

Testing the Integration

With the trigger and action configured, it’s time to test the integration. In Pabbly Connect, after mapping the fields, click on the ‘Save and Test’ button. This will send a test entry from Google Sheets to your MySQL database.

Upon successful testing, you should see a confirmation response indicating that the data has been added to your MySQL database. You can verify this by checking your MySQL table to see if the new row appears as expected. This confirms that your integration is functioning correctly.

Real-Time Data Synchronization

One of the key benefits of using Pabbly Connect is real-time data synchronization. Whenever a new row is added to your Google Sheets, the data will automatically be sent to your MySQL database without any manual intervention. This ensures that your database is always up-to-date with the latest information.

To test this, simply add another row in your Google Sheets with new data. Once added, refresh your MySQL table to see if the new entry appears. This demonstrates how efficiently Pabbly Connect handles data transfers between Google Sheets and MySQL.

Conclusion

This tutorial has shown how to effectively send data from Google Sheets to MySQL Database using Pabbly Connect. By following the steps outlined, you can automate data transfers and maintain up-to-date records effortlessly. Embrace the power of automation with Pabbly Connect for seamless integrations.
