2. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Google Sheets Integration

To begin the integration, first, access Pabbly Connect by visiting the official website and signing in to your account. If you don’t have an account, you can create one for free in just a few minutes. Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard and click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button.

After setting up the trigger, you will need to define the action that will occur in Zoho CRM. This setup process is crucial as it establishes how Pabbly Connect will facilitate the data transfer between Google Sheets and Zoho CRM.

3. Configuring Google Sheets to Work with Pabbly Connect

Now, let’s configure Google Sheets to work seamlessly with Pabbly Connect. Open your Google Sheets document where you want to capture leads. Ensure that your sheet has the necessary columns such as First Name, Last Name, Email, Company, Annual Revenue, and City.

Once your sheet is ready, you need to set up the Pabbly Connect Webhook:

• Go to the Add-ons menu in Google Sheets.
• Select ‘Pabbly Connect Webhook’.
• Click on ‘Initial Setup’ and paste the Webhook URL from Pabbly Connect.

This step is essential as it links your Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect, allowing it to monitor for new entries and trigger the lead creation process in Zoho CRM.

4. Mapping Data from Google Sheets to Zoho CRM

After configuring Google Sheets, the next step is to map the data to Zoho CRM. In Pabbly Connect, select Zoho CRM as the action application and choose the ‘Create Lead’ action event. You will then need to connect your Zoho CRM account to Pabbly Connect.

To complete the connection, you will be prompted to enter your Zoho CRM domain. Once connected, you will see various fields that need to be filled:

Map the First Name field from Google Sheets to the corresponding field in Zoho CRM. Continue mapping Last Name, Email, Company, Annual Revenue, and City.

Once all fields are mapped correctly, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify that the integration works. This will create a lead in Zoho CRM using the data from Google Sheets, demonstrating the power of Pabbly Connect in automating your lead generation process.

5. Finalizing the Integration and Testing

With the mapping complete, it’s time to finalize the integration. Go back to your Google Sheets and add a new row with lead information. This row should include all the mapped fields you set up earlier.

After adding the new lead information, return to Pabbly Connect and check if the lead has been created in Zoho CRM. Refresh the page in Zoho CRM to see the new entry. This confirms that Pabbly Connect has successfully integrated Google Sheets with Zoho CRM, automating your lead creation process.

This integration not only saves time but also ensures that your leads are captured accurately and efficiently, allowing you to focus on more important tasks while Pabbly Connect handles the data transfer seamlessly.
