1. Accessing Pabbly Form Builder for Webhook Integration

To add webhook responses in PostgreSQL, start by accessing Pabbly Form Builder. This platform allows you to create forms that can send data to your PostgreSQL database automatically.

Once you log into your Pabbly Form Builder account, you can create a new form or use an existing one. For this tutorial, we will use a simple user query form to demonstrate how to capture responses and send them to PostgreSQL.

2. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Automation

Next, you need to set up Pabbly Connect to automate the process of sending webhook responses to PostgreSQL. Begin by creating a new workflow in Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and name it, for example, ‘Webhook to PostgreSQL’.

In the workflow, you will see two sections: the trigger and action windows. The trigger specifies when the automation starts, while the action defines what happens next. For this integration, select ‘Webhook by Pabbly’ as your trigger app and choose ‘Catch Webhook’ as the event.

• Create a new workflow in Pabbly Connect.
• Select ‘Webhook by Pabbly’ as the trigger app.
• Choose ‘Catch Webhook’ as the event.

After setting this up, you will receive a webhook URL that you need to copy and use in your Pabbly Form Builder integration.

3. Adding Webhook URL to Pabbly Form Builder

Now, go back to your Pabbly Form Builder and navigate to the integration settings. Here, you will paste the webhook URL you copied from Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Add Webhook’ button, paste the URL, and save the changes.

This step ensures that every time a form submission occurs, the data is sent to the webhook URL, which is monitored by Pabbly Connect. You will see a message indicating that the webhook URL has been successfully added.

• Navigate to the integration settings in Pabbly Form Builder.
• Paste the webhook URL and save it.
• Check for confirmation that the webhook has been added.

Once this is done, Pabbly Connect will wait for the webhook response from your form submissions.

4. Mapping Data to PostgreSQL

The next step involves mapping the data received from the webhook to your PostgreSQL database. In your Pabbly Connect workflow, add an action step and select ‘PostgreSQL’ as the application. Choose the action event ‘Insert Row into Table’. using Pabbly Connect

You will need to connect your PostgreSQL account by entering your database credentials, including the username, password, host name, database name, and port. After entering these details, click on the ‘Connect’ button.

Once connected, select the table where you want to insert the data. The columns from your PostgreSQL table will be displayed, and you can map the fields from the webhook response to these columns accordingly. For example, map the user’s name, email, and query type to the respective columns in your PostgreSQL table.

5. Testing the Integration

After successfully mapping the data, it’s time to test the integration. Go back to your Pabbly Form Builder and submit a test response through the form. Ensure that the details you enter correspond to the fields mapped in PostgreSQL.

Once you submit the form, Pabbly Connect will capture this webhook response and insert the data into your PostgreSQL database. You can check your database to confirm that the new row has been added with the correct information.

Repeat this process with different test submissions to ensure the automation works flawlessly. This integration allows you to automate data entry from Pabbly Form Builder to PostgreSQL seamlessly.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we demonstrated how to integrate Pabbly Form Builder with PostgreSQL using Pabbly Connect. This setup automates the process of capturing form submissions and storing them in a database, enhancing efficiency and accuracy in data management.
