1. Introduction to Pabbly Connect and Email Parser

In this section, we will discuss how to utilize Pabbly Connect to set up a webhook for the Email Parser. The Email Parser feature by Pabbly allows users to capture emails from their Gmail accounts and automate workflows. With Pabbly Connect, you can seamlessly integrate your Gmail with other applications like HubSpot CRM.

To begin, you need to access Pabbly Connect and create a new workflow. This workflow will define how your emails are processed and what actions to take once an email is received. The Email Parser acts as a trigger to initiate actions in other applications whenever an email arrives in your Gmail inbox.

2. Setting Up Webhook in Pabbly Connect

To set up the webhook, first, navigate to the trigger section in Pabbly Connect. Select the Email Parser as your trigger application. This will allow Pabbly Connect to capture incoming emails from your Gmail account.

• Choose Email Parser as the trigger application.
• Copy the generated email hook URL.
• Go to your Gmail settings to add the forwarding address.

After copying the email hook URL, paste it into the forwarding address section of your Gmail settings. This step allows Gmail to forward emails directly to Pabbly Connect through the Email Parser.

3. Verifying Email Forwarding in Gmail

After setting up the forwarding address, you need to verify it. Gmail will send a confirmation email to the email hook address. Open Pabbly Connect to access this confirmation email and click on the verification link.

Once verified, the email forwarding setup is complete. You can now test the connection by sending a test email to your Gmail account. This will allow you to check if the email is successfully captured by Pabbly Connect.

4. Applying Filters in Pabbly Connect

To ensure that only relevant emails trigger actions in Pabbly Connect, you can apply filters. This is important to avoid unnecessary actions for every email received. By using filters, you can specify conditions that must be met for the workflow to continue.

• Select the filter after the Email Parser trigger.
• Define conditions based on the email subject or sender.
• Set the filter to only continue if the subject contains specific keywords like ‘New Lead Alert’.

By applying these filters, Pabbly Connect will only execute the next actions if the email matches the specified criteria. This helps streamline your automation process.

5. Finalizing Your Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After setting up the filters, you can proceed to finalize your workflow. Add actions that specify what should happen once a relevant email is received. For example, you can choose to add the lead information to HubSpot CRM.

Once your actions are configured, test your workflow by sending another email that meets the filter criteria. Monitor Pabbly Connect to ensure the actions are executed as expected. This completes the setup of your webhook for Email Parser.

Conclusion

Setting up a webhook for Email Parser using Pabbly Connect allows you to automate email workflows efficiently. By following the steps outlined, you can ensure that only relevant emails trigger actions, enhancing your productivity and streamlining your processes.
