1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start the integration process, we first need to access Pabbly Connect. This platform is essential for automating tasks between Google Forms and GetResponse. Visit the Pabbly Connect website and sign in to your account. If you are a new user, you can sign up for free and get 100 tasks every month.

Once logged in, you will see the dashboard with all Pabbly applications. Click on the ‘Access Now’ button for Pabbly Connect to begin creating your workflow. This is the first step towards automating your Google Forms submissions into GetResponse contacts.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After accessing Pabbly Connect, the next step is to create a workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located at the top right corner of the dashboard. A dialog box will pop up asking for the workflow name and folder selection.

• Enter a name for your workflow, such as ‘Create GetResponse Contacts on Google Form Submission’.
• Select a folder to save your workflow, for example, ‘Google Forms Automations’.
• Click on the ‘Create’ button to finalize the workflow setup.

Once the workflow is created, you will see two main sections: Trigger and Action. This setup is crucial as it defines how the automation will work using Pabbly Connect.

3. Setting Up the Trigger with Google Forms

The first step in our automation is to set up the trigger. For this, select Google Forms as the trigger application within Pabbly Connect. Choose the event ‘New Response Received’ to capture form submissions automatically.

After selecting the trigger event, Pabbly Connect will provide a unique webhook URL. Copy this URL as it will be used to connect Google Forms with Pabbly Connect. Follow the instructions provided to link your Google Form to this webhook.

• Open your Google Form and navigate to the ‘Responses’ tab.
• Click on ‘Link to Sheets’ to create a new spreadsheet for responses.
• Install the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on from the Google Workspace Marketplace.

By completing these steps, you will successfully connect Google Forms to Pabbly Connect, allowing for automated data capture from form submissions.

4. Configuring the Action Step with GetResponse

With the trigger set up, the next step is to configure the action. For this, select GetResponse as the action application in Pabbly Connect. Choose the action event ‘Create Contact’ to automatically add new form submitters as contacts in your GetResponse account.

To connect GetResponse to Pabbly Connect, you will need to enter your API key. Click on the ‘Add New Connection’ button and follow the prompts to generate a new API key from your GetResponse account. Copy this key and paste it into the required field in Pabbly Connect.

Select the campaign you want to add the contact to from the drop-down menu. Map the data from the Google Form submission to the corresponding fields in GetResponse. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify the setup.

Once the test is successful, you will see the new contact created in your GetResponse account, confirming the integration works seamlessly through Pabbly Connect.

5. Testing the Integration Process

Now that the integration is configured, it’s time to test it. Open the Google Form and submit a test response to ensure everything is working correctly. After submitting, check your linked Google Sheet to see if the response has been recorded.

Next, go back to Pabbly Connect and check if the response has been captured in your workflow. If successful, this indicates that the connection between Google Forms and GetResponse is operational.

Submit a new entry in the Google Form. Verify the response in the Google Sheet. Check the GetResponse account for the new contact.

By completing this test, you will confirm that Pabbly Connect has successfully automated the process of adding new contacts based on Google Forms submissions.
