1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start integrating Google Sheets with Thinkific, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. If you are a new user, you can sign up for free and receive 100 tasks to get started.

Once you have signed in, navigate to the dashboard of Pabbly Connect. Here, you will find the option to create a new workflow by clicking on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Enter a name for your workflow, such as ‘Create and Enroll User in Thinkific Course from Google Sheets,’ and click on create.

2. Setting Up Google Sheets as Trigger Application

In this step, we will set up Google Sheets as the trigger application using Pabbly Connect. Select Google Sheets from the trigger application options. For the trigger event, choose ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row.’ This means that the process will trigger whenever a new row is added or updated in your Google Sheets.

• Select Google Sheets as the trigger application.
• Choose ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’ as the trigger event.
• Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.

After copying the webhook URL, go to your Google Sheets and navigate to Extensions > Pabbly Connect Webhooks > Initial Setup. Paste the copied URL into the designated field and set your trigger column, which is the final data column in your spreadsheet.

3. Capturing Data from Google Sheets

Once you have set up the trigger, the next step is to capture data from Google Sheets using Pabbly Connect. Fill in the necessary details in your spreadsheet, like first name, last name, email, phone, and course. For this example, we will use dummy data.

• Fill in first name, last name, email, phone number, and course in Google Sheets.
• Refresh Pabbly Connect to see the captured data.
• Verify the response received matches your input data.

After filling in the details, refresh your Pabbly Connect dashboard to see the captured response. This confirms that the trigger has successfully captured the data from Google Sheets, which will start the automation process every time a new row is added.

4. Defining Conditions for Automation in Pabbly Connect

To ensure that the automation works only for specific courses, you can define conditions using Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Add Action Step’ and select ‘Filter by Pabbly’ to set your conditions. Here, you will define that the automation should only proceed if the course name matches the specific course.

Add a filter for course name. Set the condition to check if the course name equals ‘PHP Course for Beginners’. Save and test the filter condition.

Once the conditions are set, save the filter and test it to ensure that it returns the expected results. If the condition is true, the automation will proceed; otherwise, it will stop.

5. Enrolling Users in Thinkific via Pabbly Connect

The final step is to enroll users in Thinkific using Pabbly Connect. If the user already exists, you will use the ‘Enroll User’ action in Thinkific. If the user does not exist, you will first create the user and then enroll them.

Select Thinkific as the action application. Choose ‘Enroll User’ as the action event. Map the User ID and course details from the previous steps.

After setting up the enrollment action, test it to verify that the user is successfully enrolled in the specified course. This completes the integration process, allowing seamless enrollment of users from Google Sheets to Thinkific using Pabbly Connect.

In this tutorial, we covered how to integrate Google Sheets with Thinkific using Pabbly Connect. This integration enables automatic user enrollment in specified courses, streamlining the process significantly.
