1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Integration

To begin using Pabbly Connect, first, visit the official website and sign up for a new account if you haven’t already. Signing up takes just a couple of minutes and allows you to access 100 tasks for free each month.

Once logged in, navigate to your dashboard. Here, you can create a new workflow by clicking on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow to reflect its purpose, such as ‘Google Sheets to SandGrid Integration,’ and select the appropriate folder for organization.

2. Creating a Trigger in Google Sheets

In this section, we will set up the trigger using Pabbly Connect. The trigger will activate when a new row is added to your Google Sheets. Start by selecting Google Sheets as your trigger application.

• Search for ‘Google Sheets’ and select it.
• Choose the trigger event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’.
• Connect your Google Sheets account to Pabbly Connect.

Once connected, you will need to specify which spreadsheet you want to monitor. After selecting your spreadsheet, Pabbly Connect will automatically capture new row data for further processing.

3. Connecting Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect

Next, we will connect Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect using a webhook URL. This URL acts as a bridge for data transfer. Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect and head to your Google Sheets.

• Go to Extensions and select Pabbly Connect Webhooks.
• Paste the copied webhook URL in the designated field.
• Set the trigger column for data capture (e.g., Column D).

After completing these steps, any new data entered in the specified column will be sent to Pabbly Connect automatically, triggering the next action in your workflow.

4. Setting Up SandGrid Action in Pabbly Connect

Now that we have our trigger set up, it’s time to configure the action that will send emails through SandGrid. In Pabbly Connect, select SandGrid as your action application.

Choose the action event as ‘Custom API Request’. This allows you to send dynamic emails based on the data received from Google Sheets. Connect your SandGrid account by providing the API key, which can be generated in your SandGrid account settings.

Once connected, you’ll need to set up the API request details. Input the required fields, including the template ID and dynamic email data. Ensure you map the email address and other dynamic fields from the Google Sheets response to personalize the emails.

5. Testing and Verifying the Integration

After setting up both the trigger and action, it’s crucial to test the integration. In Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button. This will send a test email using the details from your Google Sheets.

Check your Gmail account to verify that the email has been received as expected. Ensure that the subject and body match the dynamic data you set up. If everything looks good, your integration is successfully configured!

Going forward, any new entries added to your Google Sheets will automatically trigger an email to be sent via SandGrid, streamlining your email communication process significantly.
