1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start integrating manufacturing inquiries with Microsoft Excel, first access Pabbly Connect. This platform allows you to automate processes efficiently. Navigate to the Pabbly Connect homepage by entering the URL in your browser.

If you are a new user, click on the ‘Sign Up Free’ button, which allows you to explore the software with 300 tasks monthly. Existing users can simply click on ‘Sign In’ to proceed to the dashboard.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once logged into Pabbly Connect, you need to create a workflow to connect your applications. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located at the top right corner of the dashboard.

• Name your workflow, for example, ‘Add Manufacturing Facilities and Industrial Plants in MS Excel.’
• Select a folder to save your workflow, such as ‘Automations.’
• Click on the ‘Create’ button to finalize your workflow setup.

With the workflow created, you will see the two essential components of automation: Trigger and Action. The Trigger is the event that starts the automation, while the Action is the response to that event.

3. Setting Up the Trigger with India Mart

For this integration, the trigger application is India Mart, which allows you to receive inquiries. Within Pabbly Connect, select India Mart as your trigger application and choose the event as ‘New Leads’.

After selecting the trigger event, you will receive a webhook URL. This URL is crucial as it connects your India Mart account with Pabbly Connect. Copy this URL to set it up in your India Mart account.

• Log into your India Mart account and navigate to the Lead Manager.
• Select the option to import or export leads, then choose Push API.
• Paste the webhook URL in the designated field and save the details.

After completing these steps, your India Mart account is now successfully connected to Pabbly Connect, ready to capture new inquiries automatically.

4. Configuring the Action to Add Data to Microsoft Excel

Now that the trigger is set up, it’s time to configure the action. In this step, select Microsoft Excel as your action application in Pabbly Connect. Choose the action event as ‘Add Row to Worksheet’.

To connect your Microsoft Excel account, click on ‘Connect Here’. If your account is already linked, you can select an existing connection. Grant access to Pabbly Connect to manage your Excel data.

Select the workbook where you want to add the data, for example, ‘Manufacturing Facilities and Industrial Plants’. Choose the specific worksheet, such as Sheet1. Map the fields from the trigger response to the corresponding columns in Excel.

After mapping the data, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure that the integration works correctly. This will add a new row in your Excel sheet with the inquiry details captured from India Mart.

5. Testing the Integration Workflow

After configuring the action, it’s essential to test the integration to ensure everything works smoothly. Use the test feature in Pabbly Connect to send a test lead from India Mart.

Once you send a test lead, check your Microsoft Excel sheet to confirm that the new row has been added with the correct inquiry details. This step verifies that your integration is functioning as intended.

With successful testing, you can now automate the process of capturing inquiries from India Mart directly into Microsoft Excel, enhancing your efficiency and organization.
