1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

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

Once logged in, navigate to the Pabbly Connect dashboard. Here, you will see an option to create a new workflow. This is where you will set up the automation between Google Forms and Zoho Campaigns. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to proceed with your integration.

2. Setting Up the Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will configure the workflow that connects Google Forms to Zoho Campaigns using Pabbly Connect. The first thing to do is name your workflow. For example, name it ‘Google Forms to Zoho Campaigns Integration’. Next, select the folder where you want to save this workflow.

• Click on ‘Create’ to open the workflow window.
• Select Google Forms as the trigger application.
• Choose ‘New Response Received’ as the trigger event.

After selecting the trigger event, Pabbly Connect will generate a webhook URL. This URL will be used to connect your Google Forms account with Pabbly Connect. Copy this URL as you will need it in the next steps.

3. Configuring Google Forms for Automation

Now that you have the webhook URL from Pabbly Connect, it’s time to set up Google Forms. Open your Google Form and ensure that the last question is marked as required. This is crucial for the automation to work correctly.

Next, go to the ‘Responses’ tab in your Google Form and select ‘View in Sheets’. If you haven’t linked your Google Form with Sheets yet, you will need to do that first. After linking, follow these steps:

• Navigate to Extensions > Add-ons > Get Add-ons.
• Search for ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ and install the add-on.
• Refresh your spreadsheet to see the new add-on options.

Once the add-on is installed, go to the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on in your spreadsheet and set it up with the previously copied webhook URL. This will allow Google Forms to send data to your Pabbly Connect workflow.

4. Adding Zoho Campaigns as an Action in Pabbly Connect

After setting up Google Forms, the next step is to add Zoho Campaigns as the action in your workflow using Pabbly Connect. In the workflow, select Zoho Campaigns as the action application and choose ‘Add or Update Subscriber’ as the action event.

You will need to connect your Zoho Campaigns account to Pabbly Connect. To do this, click on ‘Connect’ and enter your Zoho domain. This is usually the part of the URL before ‘.zoho.com’. After entering the domain, click ‘Save’.

Once connected, select the mailing list you wish to add the subscribers to. You will now map the fields from your Google Forms submission to the corresponding fields in Zoho Campaigns, such as email, first name, and last name. This mapping is crucial as it ensures that the data flows correctly from Google Forms to Zoho Campaigns.

5. Testing the Integration Workflow

To ensure that your integration between Google Forms and Zoho Campaigns via Pabbly Connect is working, conduct a test submission using your Google Form. Fill out the form with sample data and submit it. This will trigger the workflow you just created.

After submitting the form, check your Zoho Campaigns account to see if the new subscriber has been added. You should receive a confirmation email for the subscription, which the registrant must confirm to finalize their addition to your mailing list.

This test will confirm that the entire workflow is functioning as expected. If everything is set up correctly, you will see the new subscriber in your Zoho Campaigns account, demonstrating the successful integration facilitated by Pabbly Connect.
