1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Google Forms Integration

To begin sending Google Forms responses to another application using API by Pabbly, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. Navigate to the Pabbly website and sign in or create a free account.

After logging in, click on the Pabbly Connect application. Here, you will be able to create a workflow that connects your Google Forms responses to another application. This process will utilize the API by Pabbly, enabling seamless integration without any programming knowledge.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once you are in Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. You will be prompted to name your workflow, such as ‘Send Google Form Responses to Another Application Using API by Pabbly’ and choose a folder to save it in.

• Click on ‘Create’ to set up your workflow.
• Select Google Forms as the trigger application.
• Choose ‘New Response Received’ as the trigger event.

After setting the trigger, you will receive a webhook URL. This URL is crucial for connecting your Google Forms to Pabbly Connect, allowing it to capture responses automatically.

3. Linking Google Forms to Pabbly Connect

To link your Google Forms to Pabbly Connect, open your Google Form and navigate to the ‘Responses’ section. Click on ‘View in Sheets’ to create a Google Sheet that will collect your form responses.

• Go to ‘Extensions’ and select ‘Add-ons’.
• Search for and install ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’.
• Open the add-on and enter the webhook URL you copied from Pabbly Connect.

Make sure to set the trigger column to the last column with data (usually column E) and click on ‘Submit’ to finalize the setup. This connection allows Pabbly Connect to receive data every time a new response is submitted.

4. Testing the Integration with Google Forms

With your Google Forms and Pabbly Connect linked, it’s time to test the integration. Fill out your Google Form as a test submission to ensure the data is sent to your Google Sheet and captured by Pabbly Connect.

Submit the form with sample data, such as a name, email, and property type. Check your Google Sheet to confirm the response appears correctly. Return to Pabbly Connect to see if the webhook response is received.

If everything is set up correctly, you should see a successful test response in your Pabbly Connect workflow, indicating that the integration is functioning as intended.

5. Executing API Requests in Pabbly Connect

After confirming that your Google Forms responses are captured by Pabbly Connect, the next step is to execute an API request. For this example, we will use MailerLite as the application to send data to.

Select ‘API by Pabbly’ as the action application. Choose ‘Execute API Request’ as the action event. Import the CURL request from MailerLite’s API documentation.

Fill in the necessary details, including your MailerLite API key, and map the data from your Google Forms responses to the corresponding fields in the API request. This ensures that each new form submission creates a subscriber in your MailerLite account.
