1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To begin integrating Google Forms with Microsoft Excel, you need to access Pabbly Connect. Start by visiting the Pabbly Connect website and signing in to your account. If you are a new user, you can sign up for free and get 100 free tasks every month.

Once you are logged in, you will see the Pabbly Apps window. From here, select Pabbly Connect by clicking on ‘Access Now’. This will take you to the Pabbly Connect dashboard where you can create your workflow.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After accessing the dashboard, you need to create a new workflow for the integration. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button, and a dialog box will appear asking for a workflow name. Enter a name like ‘Add Google Forms Submission to Microsoft Excel’.

• Select a folder where you want to save this workflow.
• Click on ‘Create’ to finalize your workflow.

Now, you have successfully created a workflow in Pabbly Connect titled ‘Add Google Forms Submission to Microsoft Excel’. The next step is to set up the trigger and action for this automation.

3. Setting Up Trigger with Google Forms

In this section, you will set up the trigger for your workflow. Click on the trigger application option and select ‘Google Forms’ as the trigger application. For the trigger event, choose ‘New Response Received’. This means every time a new response is submitted through Google Forms, Pabbly Connect will capture that response.

To connect Google Forms with Pabbly Connect, you will receive a unique Webhook URL. Copy this URL. Then, open the Google Form you created and click on ‘Responses’. Select ‘Link to Sheets’ and create a new spreadsheet to link the responses.

4. Connecting Google Forms to Pabbly Connect

After creating the linked spreadsheet, you must connect it to Pabbly Connect. In the spreadsheet, go to the ‘Extensions’ menu, select ‘Pabbly Webhooks’, and then ‘Initial Setup’. Paste the Webhook URL you copied earlier into the designated field.

• Set the trigger column to the final data column where responses will be added.
• Click ‘Submit’ to save your settings.

Once the setup is configured successfully, return to Pabbly Connect and test the integration by submitting a test response through your Google Form. This will ensure that Pabbly Connect captures the response correctly.

5. Setting Up Action with Microsoft Excel

Now that your trigger is set up, it’s time to configure the action step. In Pabbly Connect, select ‘Microsoft Excel’ as the action application and choose ‘Add Row to Worksheet’ as the action event. Click on ‘Connect’ to establish a connection with Microsoft Excel.

Once connected, you will need to select the workbook you created in Microsoft Excel. Choose the corresponding worksheet where you want the responses to be added. Then, map the data fields from Google Forms to the appropriate columns in Excel, such as first name, last name, email, and phone number.

After mapping all the fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. Check your Excel worksheet to confirm that the data has been successfully transferred. This integration allows you to automate data entry, saving time and minimizing errors.

By following this tutorial, you have successfully integrated Google Forms with Microsoft Excel using Pabbly Connect.
