1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To send template emails using Postmark Custom API, you must first access Pabbly Connect. Start by visiting the Pabbly Connect website and signing up for an account if you don’t have one.

After logging in, you will be directed to the Pabbly Connect dashboard. Here, you can create a new workflow that will facilitate the integration between Google Sheets and Postmark. This integration is crucial for automating the email sending process.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In Pabbly Connect, creating a workflow is straightforward. Click the ‘Create Workflow’ button and name your workflow, for example, ‘Send Template Email using Postmark Custom API’. This name reflects your objective clearly.

• Click on ‘Create’ to proceed.
• Select Google Sheets as your trigger application.
• Choose the trigger event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’.

Once you have set up the trigger, connect your Google Sheets account with Pabbly Connect. This connection allows Pabbly Connect to monitor your Google Sheets for any new entries.

3. Configuring Google Sheets Trigger

To configure the Google Sheets trigger in Pabbly Connect, you need to copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly. This URL will be used to connect Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect.

Go to your Google Sheet, click on ‘Extensions’, and then ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’. Here, you will paste the copied webhook URL and specify the trigger column, which is the last column where data will be entered. After setting this up, click on ‘Send Test’ to ensure everything is working correctly.

4. Setting Up Postmark Action in Pabbly Connect

After configuring the Google Sheets trigger, the next step is to set up the action in Pabbly Connect. Select Postmark as your action application and choose ‘Custom API Request’ as the action event.

To connect Postmark, you will need the server token from your Postmark account. Copy this token and paste it into the key-value fields in Pabbly Connect. This is essential for authorizing your requests to send emails.

• Select the request method as POST.
• Paste the API endpoint from Postmark.
• Fill in the required parameters including ‘from’, ‘to’, ‘template_id’, and ‘username’.

This setup ensures that every time a new row is added in Google Sheets, a template email will be sent to the respective customer using Postmark.

5. Testing and Verifying the Integration

Once you have set up the action in Pabbly Connect, it’s time to test the integration. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to check if the email is sent successfully to the customer.

After testing, check the email account to confirm that the email was received. If everything is set up correctly, you will see the template email in the inbox, confirming that the integration between Google Sheets and Postmark via Pabbly Connect is working seamlessly.
