1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Telegram Notifications

To send notifications on Telegram for Google Forms submissions, we will utilize Pabbly Connect as the integration platform. Start by accessing your Pabbly Connect account. If you are a new user, click on the ‘Sign Up for Free’ button to create your account, which allows you to get 100 tasks free every month.

Once logged in, navigate to the ‘Pabbly Connect’ section from the dashboard. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to begin. Name your workflow as ‘Send Notification on Telegram for Google Form Submission’ and choose a suitable folder for organization.

2. Trigger Setup: Google Forms

In this step, we will set up Google Forms as our trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Select ‘Google Forms’ from the trigger options and choose the event ‘New Response Received.’ This event will activate whenever a new form submission occurs.

• Select Google Forms as the trigger application.
• Choose ‘New Response Received’ as the trigger event.
• Connect your Google account to Pabbly Connect.
• Select the specific Google Form you want to monitor.

After setting up the trigger, ensure that the responses from Google Forms are linked to a Google Sheet. This is crucial as Pabbly Connect requires the data to be captured in a sheet for further processing.

3. Configuring Google Sheets for Pabbly Connect

Next, we need to configure Google Sheets to work with Pabbly Connect. Go to your Google Form, click on ‘Responses,’ and link it to a new Google Sheet. This sheet will automatically capture all form responses.

To set up the integration, go to ‘Extensions’ in Google Sheets, find the ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ option, and click on ‘Initial Setup.’ Here, you will paste the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect. Set the trigger column to the final data column where responses will be added.

• Access Google Sheets through your Google Form.
• Link the form responses to a new Google Sheet.
• Configure the Pabbly Connect Webhooks extension.
• Set your trigger column to capture new responses.

Once the setup is complete, click ‘Submit’ to save your changes. This ensures that every new submission on the Google Form will be sent to Pabbly Connect for processing.

4. Setting Up Telegram as Action Application

Now, we will set up Telegram as the action application in Pabbly Connect. Select ‘Telegram’ from the action application list and choose the action event as ‘Send Text Message.’ This will allow you to send notifications directly to your team.

To connect your Telegram bot, you will need to create a new bot using the BotFather on Telegram. After creating the bot, copy the token and paste it into Pabbly Connect. Additionally, gather the chat ID where you want to send the notifications.

Select Telegram as the action application. Choose ‘Send Text Message’ as the action event. Connect your Telegram bot using the token from BotFather. Input the chat ID for the group or user receiving the messages.

Once the Telegram bot is connected, you can draft the message that will be sent. Ensure you map the response data from Google Forms into the message to personalize the notifications.

5. Testing the Integration with Pabbly Connect

After setting everything up, it’s time to test the integration. Fill out the Google Form to simulate a new response. This will trigger the webhook in Pabbly Connect, capturing the response data.

Once the test submission is made, check your Google Sheet to ensure the response has been recorded. Then, navigate back to Pabbly Connect to see if the data has been captured correctly. Finally, check your Telegram group for the notification message.

Submit a test response using the Google Form. Verify that the response appears in your Google Sheet. Check Pabbly Connect for the captured data. Confirm the Telegram notification has been sent.

If everything is working correctly, you have successfully set up an automated notification system using Pabbly Connect for Google Forms submissions. This integration will now notify your team every time a new response is received.

Conclusion

In conclusion, using Pabbly Connect to send notifications on Telegram for Google Forms submissions is a straightforward process. This integration ensures that your team is always updated with the latest responses, enhancing communication and efficiency.
