2. Configuring Google Sheets as the Trigger Application
In this section, you’ll configure Google Sheets as the trigger application within Pabbly Connect. This setup will allow you to capture customer details automatically. Select Google Sheets from the trigger options and choose the event ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’.
- Choose your Google Sheets account to connect.

After setting this up, click on ‘Save’. This action will ensure that every time you add a new row in Google Sheets, Pabbly Connect will capture the data and trigger the next action in the workflow.
3. Creating a Payment Link with Razorpay
Next, you’ll create a payment link using Razorpay through Pabbly Connect. This step involves setting Razorpay as the action application. Choose the action event ‘Create Payment Link’ to initiate the payment link creation process.
Connect your Razorpay account by providing your API key and secret. You can find these details in your Razorpay account settings under API keys. Once connected, you’ll need to fill out the necessary fields for the payment link, including the amount, currency, and customer details.
- Map the due payment amount from Google Sheets.
- Specify the currency as INR for Indian Rupees.
- Provide a description for the payment link.
After filling in all required details, click on ‘Save’ to generate the payment link. Pabbly Connect will handle the integration and create a unique link for your customer.

In the final step, you will set up the WhatsApp Cloud API within Pabbly Connect to send an automated message containing the payment link. Select WhatsApp Cloud API as the action application and choose the event ‘Send Template Message’.
Connect your WhatsApp Cloud API by entering your access token, phone number ID, and WhatsApp business account ID. These details can be found in your WhatsApp Cloud API account. After connecting, you need to select the template message you created for sending payment reminders.
Map the customer’s phone number from Google Sheets. Insert the payment link generated by Razorpay. Include any other necessary variables in the message.
