1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Google Forms and Microsoft Excel Integration

To integrate Google Forms responses into Microsoft Excel, we will use Pabbly Connect. First, visit the Pabbly Connect website and log into your account. If you are a new user, you can sign up for free and get 100 tasks every month.

Once logged in, look for the option to access Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Access Now’. You will then see various features. Choose the option to create a new workflow for your automation process.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this section, we will create a workflow to automate the transfer of Google Forms responses to Microsoft Excel using Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located at the top right corner.

• Name your workflow, e.g., ‘Google Forms to Microsoft Excel’.
• Select a folder to save your workflow, for example, ‘Google Forms’.
• Click on ‘Create’ to finalize your workflow setup.

After creating the workflow, you will see two important sections: Trigger and Action. The Trigger is the event that starts the automation, while the Action is what happens as a result. For this integration, our Trigger application will be Google Forms.

3. Setting Up the Trigger with Google Forms

To set up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect, select Google Forms as your trigger application. The event we want is ‘New Response Received’. This means every time a new form submission occurs, it will trigger the action.

Pabbly Connect will provide you with a unique Webhook URL. Follow the instructions to connect Google Forms with this URL. Go to your Google Form, navigate to the responses section, and click on ‘Link to Sheets’ to create a new spreadsheet.

• Select ‘Create a new spreadsheet’ and name it appropriately, such as ‘Customer Feedback Responses’.
• Ensure that every new response will be captured in this spreadsheet.

Next, connect this spreadsheet to Pabbly Connect by installing the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on from Google Sheets. Follow the steps to set up the Webhook URL and configure the trigger column.

4. Setting Up the Action in Microsoft Excel

Once the trigger is configured, it’s time to set up the action in Pabbly Connect. Select Microsoft Excel as your action application. The action event will be ‘Add Row to Worksheet’. This means every time a response is received, a new row will be created in your Excel sheet.

Click on ‘Connect’, and if you do not have an existing connection, choose ‘Add New Connection’. You will then be prompted to connect with Microsoft Excel by accepting the permissions.

Choose the workbook where you want to save the data, e.g., ‘Customer Feedback’. Select the worksheet, e.g., ‘Feedback’. Map the required fields such as First Name, Last Name, Email, Phone Number, and Remarks from the Google Forms response.

After mapping the data, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure everything is set up correctly. You can then refresh your Microsoft Excel sheet to check if the data appears as expected.

5. Testing the Integration

Now that we have set up the integration using Pabbly Connect, it’s time to test it. Go back to your Google Form and submit a dummy response to see if it captures the data correctly in your Excel sheet.

Fill in the form with sample data, such as a first name ‘Demo’, last name ‘User’, and other details, then click submit. After submission, return to Pabbly Connect to confirm that the response was captured successfully.

Check your Excel sheet to verify that the new response has been added as a new row. Repeat the process with additional dummy submissions to ensure consistent functionality.

If everything works as expected, you have successfully integrated Google Forms with Microsoft Excel using Pabbly Connect. This automation will save you time and streamline your data collection process.
