Import leads from Google Sheets
Another use case is when a lead is added to a Google Sheet, add a new lead to Instantly campaign. Here are the steps:
1. Create a new workflow with Google Sheet trigger "New or updated Spreadsheet row":
2. Set up trigger events in Google Sheets by following the steps below:
Make sure you're logged into a single Google Sheets account while doing the setup.
Create a new Spreadsheet. Navigate to the "Extensions", move to the "Add-ons" option, and then click on "Get add-ons".
A dialog box will appear. Now search for the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on, install it, and refresh the page once.
Navigate to the "Extensions" menu again, and click on Pabbly Connect Webhooks.
Click on the "Initial Setup" option, put the Webhook URL provided above, and specify the trigger column. The trigger column should be the one containing the email address.
Click on the "Send Test" button & you should be able to receive the webhook response below. Now click on the Submit button to save the Initial Setup you did.
Move to the Pabbly Connect Webhook from the Sheet menu under the Extensions menu and choose the event when Webhook should send data.
Ensure that the trigger column value is modified in order to capture the New or Updated Spreadsheet row.
You have successfully set up the webhook in your Google Sheets as a trigger.
If you are manually making the change in the Spreadsheet, the updated data will be sent immediately to Pabbly Connect. Ensure enabling the Send on Event option in the addon.
If the change is made through an external platform besides Google Forms in the Spreadsheet, the trigger will be sent once every one hour. Ensure you enable the Send on Schedule option in the addon.
3. The next step is to connect Instantly and choose step "Add leads to campaign"
4. Select the campaign to which you want to import the leads, and other variables such as first name, last name, company, etc. Once mapped, test the action:
5. Open the campaign in Instantly, if the setup is complete, you should see a new lead in your campaign.
That's it, you can enable or disable this workflow from the top of the page.
