2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will create a workflow to automate the process of adding contacts from Google Sheets to Google Contacts using Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located at the top right corner of the dashboard. A dialog box will appear, prompting you to name your workflow. Enter a name like ‘Google Sheets to Google Contacts’ and click on ‘Create’.

• Click on the ‘Choose App’ dropdown and select ‘Google Sheets’.
• In the ‘Trigger Event’, select ‘New Spreadsheet Row’.
• This event will trigger the workflow every time a new row is added to your Google Sheet.

Once you have set up the trigger, you will be prompted to connect your Google Sheets account. Follow the instructions to authenticate and allow access. This step is crucial as it allows Pabbly Connect to pull data from your Google Sheets.

3. Filling Google Sheets with Contact Data

Now, let’s fill in your Google Sheets with the contact details you want to automate. Open Google Sheets and create a new sheet titled ‘Contact Creation’. Enter the details for your contact, such as name, email address, phone number, and any other necessary information.

For example, you might enter the following data for a contact named Taylor Swift:

• First Name: Taylor
• Last Name: Swift
• Email: [email protected]
• Phone: 123-456-7890

Once you have filled in the data, refresh your Google Contacts to ensure that no duplicate entries exist. This step ensures that Pabbly Connect can create new contacts without any conflicts.

4. Setting Up Webhooks in Google Sheets

To connect Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect, you need to set up webhooks. Click on the ‘Add-ons’ menu in Google Sheets and select ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’. If you haven’t installed it yet, click on ‘Get Add-ons’ and search for ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ to install it.

After installation, return to the add-ons menu and select ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ followed by ‘Initial Setup’. Here, you will need to enter the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect and set the trigger column to the last column of your data entry.

Enter the webhook URL from Pabbly Connect. Set the trigger column as the last column where data will be entered.

Click on ‘Capture Response’ to ensure that Pabbly Connect is ready to receive the data from Google Sheets. Once set up, you can test the integration by adding a new row in your Google Sheet.

5. Creating Contacts in Google Contacts
