1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Integration

To effectively use routers in Pabbly Connect, the first step is to access the platform. Start by visiting the Pabbly Connect dashboard. Here, you will create a new workflow to manage data routing based on user choices.

Once logged in, click on the ‘Create New Workflow’ button. Name your workflow, for instance, ‘Routers Demo’. This workflow will facilitate the integration between various applications using the powerful features of Pabbly Connect.

2. Integrating Pabbly Form Builder with Pabbly Connect

Next, you need to set up the Pabbly Form Builder to collect data. Go to the settings of your created form and navigate to the integration section. Here, select the webhooks option to connect your form to Pabbly Connect.

• Access the form settings within Pabbly Form Builder.
• Click on ‘Integration’ and select ‘Webhooks’.
• Copy the provided webhook URL and paste it into your form’s webhook settings.

After saving the webhook, your form is now connected to Pabbly Connect. This means that every time someone submits the form, the data will be sent directly to your workflow in Pabbly Connect.

3. Creating Routers in Pabbly Connect

With your form integrated, it’s time to set up routers in Pabbly Connect. Click on the plus button to add a router to your workflow. Name the routers based on the conditions you want to set, such as ‘Male Router’ and ‘Female Router’. This helps in directing data based on the user’s gender selection.

For each router, you need to configure the settings. In the settings, specify the condition for routing. For example, set the condition for the Male Router to continue if the value of ‘Choose Your Gender’ is equal to ‘Male’. Save this condition to activate the router.

4. Sending Data to Google Sheets via Pabbly Connect

Once the routers are set up, the next step is to send the data to Google Sheets. Within the Male Router, click on the plus button and select Google Sheets as your action app. Choose the option to append new values to your designated sheet.

• Authorize your Google account to allow Pabbly Connect access.
• Select the appropriate Google Sheet for male leads.
• Map the fields from the form submission to the corresponding columns in Google Sheets.

After saving these settings, test the request to ensure that data is being sent correctly to the specified Google Sheet. This allows you to collect and organize leads based on gender efficiently.

5. Testing and Verifying the Integration

To verify that your integration works correctly, fill out the form with various gender selections. For instance, submit a form with a male entry and check the Google Sheets for male leads. Repeat the process with a female entry to ensure it routes to the female leads sheet.

By testing both scenarios, you can confirm that Pabbly Connect is routing the data accurately based on the conditions set in your routers. If everything works as intended, your setup is complete and operational.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we explored how to use routers in Pabbly Connect to manage data flow between applications like Google Sheets and Pabbly Form Builder. By following these steps, you can efficiently direct data based on user input, enhancing your automation processes.
