1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Automation

To start automating the process of adding Paper Form responses to MongoDB, you first need to set up Pabbly Connect. This platform allows you to create workflows that connect different applications seamlessly.

Begin by signing up for a free account on Pabbly Connect. Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard and click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow (for example, ‘Paper Form to DB’) and select a folder to save it in. After clicking ‘Create’, you will see two windows: the trigger window and the action window.

2. Triggering Workflow with Paper Form Responses

The next step is to set up the trigger for your workflow using Pabbly Connect. In the trigger step, search for ‘Paper Form’ and select it. Choose the trigger event as ‘New Form Submission’. This means that whenever a new form response is submitted, it will trigger the workflow.

• Search for ‘Paper Form’ in the app selection.
• Select the trigger event as ‘New Form Submission’.
• Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.

Next, go to your Paper Form settings, find the ‘Integrations’ section, and paste the copied webhook URL into the designated field. Set the trigger on ‘New Submission’ and click ‘Create’. This connects your Paper Form to Pabbly Connect, allowing it to capture responses automatically.

3. Mapping Data to MongoDB

Once you have set up the trigger, it’s time to map the data to MongoDB using Pabbly Connect. In the action step, search for ‘MongoDB’ and select it. Choose the action event as ‘Create Record’ to add new data to your database.

To connect your MongoDB account, you will need to enter the connection string, username, and password. Make sure your MongoDB account allows connections from your current IP address. After entering the credentials, select the database and collection where you want to store the form responses.

• Enter the connection string from your MongoDB account.
• Provide the database name and collection name.
• Map the fields from the Paper Form responses to the MongoDB fields.

After mapping the fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will send the data to MongoDB, and if successful, you will see the record added to your database.

4. Testing the Automation Workflow

Now that your automation is set up, it’s important to test it to ensure everything is working correctly. Go back to your Paper Form and submit a test response. After submitting, check Pabbly Connect to see if it captured the response.

If the automation is functioning properly, you will see the new submission data reflected in your MongoDB database. Refresh the MongoDB page to verify that the new record appears with all the correct details.

By testing this automation, you ensure that the integration between Paper Form and MongoDB via Pabbly Connect is seamless and effective. Repeat this process as needed for additional tests to confirm reliability.
