On the landing page, you will see options to sign in or sign up for free. If you are an existing user, simply click on the sign-in button. New users can quickly sign up in less than two minutes.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once logged into Pabbly Connect, navigate to the dashboard and click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. A dialog box will prompt you to name your workflow.

For this integration, name it ‘Send Email Notification When a New SendinBlue Contact is Added to List’ and click on create. This sets the stage for the trigger and action events needed for your automation.

3. Setting Up the Trigger with SendinBlue

In the workflow setup, you will configure your trigger application as SendinBlue. Select SendinBlue as your trigger application and choose the event ‘New Contact Added to a List’.

Pabbly Connect will provide you with a webhook URL that acts as a bridge between SendinBlue and Pabbly Connect. Copy this URL and head over to your SendinBlue account.

• Navigate to the ‘Settings’ section in SendinBlue.
• Click on ‘Webhooks’ and then select ‘Add a New Webhook’.
• Paste the copied webhook URL and check the event for when a contact is added to a list.

After saving the webhook, return to Pabbly Connect to test the submission. This will help in capturing data from the newly created contact.

4. Configuring the Action to Send Email via Gmail

After the trigger is set, the next step is to configure the action application. Select Gmail as your action application in Pabbly Connect and choose the action event ‘Send Email’.

Pabbly Connect will require you to connect your Gmail account. Click on ‘Add New Connection’ and follow the prompts to authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Gmail account.

• Map the recipient’s email address from the data received from SendinBlue.
• Fill in the sender’s name, email subject, and email content.
• You can personalize the email content by including the recipient’s first and last name.

Once all fields are filled, click on save and send a test request to ensure the email is sent successfully.

5. Testing Your Integration in Real-Time

To confirm that your integration works, go back to SendinBlue and create a new contact using the subscription form you have set up. Fill in the required fields and click subscribe.

Once the subscription is confirmed, check your Gmail inbox. You should receive the welcome email sent through Pabbly Connect, confirming that the integration is successful.

This process demonstrates how effectively Pabbly Connect automates the workflow between SendinBlue and Gmail, allowing you to send timely notifications to new contacts.
