Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button, provide a name for your workflow, and click ‘Create’. This will take you to the workflow page where you can add the trigger and action modules essential for the integration.

2. Configuring Email Parser in Pabbly Connect

Once you are on the workflow page in Pabbly Connect, the first step is to set up the trigger. Select the ‘Email Parser’ feature to fetch incoming emails from your Gmail inbox. You will be provided with an email address that you will use to forward your Gmail emails.

• Open your Gmail account and navigate to settings.
• Under the ‘Forwarding and POP/IMAP’ tab, click on ‘Add a forwarding address’.
• Paste the provided email parser address and click ‘Next’.

After confirming the forwarding address, you will receive a test email to verify the connection. Follow the prompts to complete the setup, ensuring that Gmail forwards incoming emails to the specified email parser address.

3. Filtering Emails to Send to Discord Channel

After setting up the email parser, the next step in Pabbly Connect is to filter the emails you want to send to your Discord channel. This is crucial to avoid flooding your channel with unnecessary emails. Use the filter feature to specify conditions, such as only forwarding emails with specific keywords in the subject line.

• Select the filter type as ‘Contains’.
• Enter the keyword you want to filter, such as ‘resume’ for job applications.

Once the filter is set, save the changes. This ensures that only relevant emails will trigger messages to your Discord channel, keeping your community informed without overwhelming them.

4. Connecting Your Discord Channel in Pabbly Connect

The final step involves connecting your Discord channel to Pabbly Connect. Add a new action step in your workflow and select Discord as the application. Choose the action event to send a channel message in HTML or markdown format.

To establish this connection, you will need the webhook URL from your Discord server. Navigate to your Discord server settings, find the integrations section, and create a new webhook. Copy the webhook URL and paste it into the designated field in Pabbly Connect.

5. Testing and Activating Your Workflow

After configuring the Discord connection, it’s time to test your workflow in Pabbly Connect. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to check if the integration is working correctly. A sample message should appear in your Discord channel, confirming that the automation is set up successfully.

Once verified, your workflow will run automatically. Every time an email that meets your filter criteria arrives in Gmail, it will be sent as a message to your Discord channel, keeping your team informed effortlessly.
