1. Introduction to Pabbly Connect for Automation

In this tutorial, we will explore how to use Pabbly Connect to automate the process of adding JotForm submissions to MongoDB. This integration will streamline data collection and storage.

To begin, you need to create a free account on Pabbly Connect. Once you have signed up, you can access the dashboard where you will set up the automation workflow.

2. Setting Up Your Workflow in Pabbly Connect

First, navigate to the Pabbly Connect dashboard and click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow ‘JotForm to MongoDB’ and select a folder for organization.

• Click on the ‘Create’ button to initiate the workflow.
• You will see two windows: the trigger and action windows.

In the trigger window, search for JotForm and select it. Choose the ‘New Response’ trigger event to receive submissions. After this, Pabbly Connect will generate a webhook URL.

3. Connecting JotForm to Pabbly Connect

To connect JotForm with Pabbly Connect, copy the webhook URL provided. Go to your JotForm account, select your form, and navigate to ‘Settings’.

• Click on ‘Integrations’ and search for Webhooks.
• Paste the webhook URL into the ‘Add Webhook’ field and complete the integration.

Once the integration is complete, Pabbly Connect will be ready to capture responses from JotForm, indicated by a ‘waiting for webhook response’ status.

4. Adding MongoDB as an Action in Pabbly Connect

After successfully capturing a response from JotForm, it’s time to add MongoDB in the action step. In the action window, search for MongoDB and select it.

Choose the action event as ‘Create Record’. Click on ‘Connect’ and select ‘Add New Connection’. You will need to provide the connection string from your MongoDB account.

Access your MongoDB account to find the connection string. Ensure that your IP address is whitelisted in the network access settings.

After entering the connection string, specify the database name and collection where the form responses will be stored. This completes the MongoDB connection setup via Pabbly Connect.

5. Testing the Integration and Conclusion

To test the integration, submit a test response using your JotForm. After submission, check Pabbly Connect for the captured response.

Verify that the data appears in your MongoDB collection by refreshing the database view. This confirms that the automation is functioning correctly.

With Pabbly Connect, you have successfully automated the process of transferring JotForm submissions into MongoDB. This integration not only saves time but also improves data management.

Conclusion

In this guide, we demonstrated how to use Pabbly Connect to integrate JotForm with MongoDB. This automation allows for easy data collection and storage, enhancing your workflow efficiency.
