1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To start automating data transfer from JotForm to Google Sheets, access Pabbly Connect. If you are a new user, you can sign up for a free account, which allows 100 tasks per month.

Once signed in, navigate to the dashboard. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button in the top right corner to begin setting up your automation process. This is where you will define your trigger and action for the integration.

2. Setting Up the Webhook Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will set up the webhook trigger in Pabbly Connect. Choose ‘Webhook’ as your trigger application. This means that whenever there is a new form submission in JotForm, it will trigger an action in Google Sheets.

• Select ‘Webhook’ as the trigger application.
• Copy the provided webhook URL from Pabbly Connect.
• Set up this URL in JotForm under the integrations section.

After copying the webhook URL, go to your JotForm account, locate the form you want to integrate, and paste the URL in the integrations settings. This connection will allow Pabbly Connect to capture form submission data automatically.

3. Capturing Data from JotForm

Once the webhook is set up, it’s time to test it by submitting a form in JotForm. Fill out the form with dummy data and submit it. This action will send the data to Pabbly Connect, which will capture the response.

After submission, return to Pabbly Connect to check if the data has been received. You should see the details such as first name, last name, and email captured in the response section. This confirms that the webhook is working correctly.

4. Adding Data to Google Sheets via Pabbly Connect

Now that the data is captured, the next step is to send this data to Google Sheets. In Pabbly Connect, select Google Sheets as your action application. This will allow you to automate the process of adding the captured data into a new row in your spreadsheet.

• Choose ‘Add New Row’ as the action event.
• Sign in to your Google account to authorize Pabbly Connect.
• Select the spreadsheet and sheet where you want to add the data.

Map the fields from the webhook response to the corresponding columns in Google Sheets. This ensures that the data is accurately transferred each time a new form submission occurs.

5. Finalizing the Integration and Testing

After mapping the fields, save your workflow in Pabbly Connect and test the integration. Perform another submission in JotForm to see if the data appears in Google Sheets. If everything is set up correctly, you should see the new entry in your specified spreadsheet.

This successful integration means that every time a new form is submitted in JotForm, the information will automatically populate in Google Sheets without any manual effort. This automation streamlines your workflow and saves time.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we demonstrated how to use Pabbly Connect to automate the integration between JotForm and Google Sheets. By following these steps, you can easily set up automated workflows that enhance your productivity and efficiency.
