After creating the workflow, you will be taken to the workflow window. Here, you will set a trigger and an action. The trigger will be the Webhook by Pabbly, and the action will be sending an email via Gmail. This is the core of your automation using Pabbly Connect.

3. Setting Up the Trigger with Webhook by Pabbly

Now, select ‘Webhook by Pabbly’ as your trigger application. For the trigger event, choose ‘Catch Webhook’. Pabbly Connect will generate a unique webhook URL for you to use.

Copy the generated webhook URL and paste it into your external application. In this case, we will use Pabbly Form Builder as an example. Navigate to the integration section of Pabbly Form Builder, click on ‘Create Webhook’, and paste the URL you copied from Pabbly Connect.

4. Configuring the Action to Send Email via Gmail

Next, we will configure the action to send an email through Gmail. In your workflow, select ‘Gmail’ as the action application. For the action event, choose ‘Send Email’. This step is crucial as it enables Pabbly Connect to send an email based on the data captured from the webhook.

Click on ‘Connect’ and choose to add a new connection if you haven’t connected your Gmail account yet. Select your Gmail account and allow permissions for Pabbly Connect to send emails on your behalf. After the connection is established, you will need to fill in the recipient’s email address, subject, and email content.

Map the recipient email from the webhook response. Set a subject that includes the lead’s name. Draft a personalized email content.

After filling in these details, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to check if the email is sent successfully. If everything is set up correctly, you will see a confirmation message indicating that the email was sent via Gmail using Pabbly Connect.

5. Testing the Integration for Successful Email Notifications

To ensure that your integration is working, perform a new test submission in Pabbly Form Builder. Enter the details in the form and submit it. This will trigger the webhook in Pabbly Connect and initiate the email sending process.

After submission, check your Gmail inbox for the email notification. You should see an email with the subject and content you specified. This confirms that the integration between Webhook by Pabbly and Gmail is functioning as intended.

Finally, you can repeat the test with different entries to verify that the workflow is robust. Each new submission should result in an email notification being sent, demonstrating the efficiency of Pabbly Connect in automating your tasks.
