How to Automatically Create Sendinblue Contacts from Google Sheets

  • by

Let us discuss how you can integrate Google Sheets with Sendinblue. Once integrated, you can use data entered in your Google Sheets spreadsheet to generate contacts in Sendinblue
This automation requires a one-time setup, for which we will use Pabbly Connect.
We will first link Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect to capture the contact details, then link Pabbly Connect with Sendinblue and create contacts using the data captured from Google Sheets.

Steps to Automatically Create Sendinblue Contacts from Google Sheets

1. Sign In / Sign Up to Pabbly Connect and Create a Workflow
2. Establish a Connection between Google Sheets and Pabbly Connect
3. Setup Sendinblue as the Action App to Create Contacts

Step 1:- Sign In / Sign Up to Pabbly Connect and Create a Workflow

A. Sign In / Sign Up

To begin this process, visit Pabbly Connect and create your account by clicking on the ‘Sign Up Free’ button. You can also click on Sign In if you already have an account.

Click on the Pabbly Connect ‘Access Now’ button

B. Create Workflow

To create a new workflow, click the ‘Create Workflow’ button.

Name your workflow, and click on ‘Create’.

Step 2:- Establish a Connection between Google Sheets and Pabbly Connect

We will now look at the steps through which we will establish a link between Google Sheets and Pabbly Connect. This will enable us to retrieve data from Google Sheets.

A. Trigger App

Trigger allows us to choose the application that will receive the data for Pabbly Connect. In our case, it would be Google Sheets.

Choose ‘Google Sheets’ as the Trigger App and select ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’ as a Trigger Event.

B. Webhook URL

A new Webhook URL will get generated. You will use this Webhook URL to create a connection with your Google Sheets account. Copy the Webhook URL.

As soon as you Copy the Webhook URL, Pabbly Connect will start looking to capture data from Google Sheets, as indicated by the rotating Waiting For Webhook Response button.

C. Connect Google Sheets Account

To connect with your Google Sheets account, open the spreadsheet where you wish to input the data, click on Extensions > Add-ons > Get add-ons, and search for ‘Pabbly Connect Webhook’.

After installing the add-on, again click on Extension > Pabbly Connect Webhooks > Initial Setup.

Paste the Webhook URL that we copied earlier, and in the Trigger Column, mention the name of the last column in which the data is available, and click on ‘Send Test’.

Now that the data is sent successfully – click on ‘Submit’.

Now, click on Extension > Pabbly Connect Webhooks > ‘Send On Event’.

To confirm our established connection, ensure that the data you entered is visible by switching to Pabbly Connect and expanding the Response Received section.

We have established a link between Google Sheets and Pabbly Connect. Pabbly Connect will now automatically capture the data entered in your Google Sheets spreadsheet.

Step 3:- Setup Sendinblue as the Action App to Create Contacts

Action allows us to choose the application that will get executed by the workflow trigger.
We essentially want to create contacts in Sendinblue using the data we captured from Google Sheets. Therefore, Sendinblue will be our Action App.

A. Action App

Choose ‘Sendinblue’ as your Action App, select ‘Create Contact’ as an Action Event, and click on ‘Connect.

B. Connect Sendinblue Account

To connect with your Sendinblue account, select ‘Add New Connection’. You will be asked to enter your API Key. To find it, log in to your Sendinblue account and click on ‘SMTP & API’.

Click on ‘API Keys’ > ‘Generate a new API key’.

Name your API key, and click on ‘Generate’.

Copy the API Key, paste it into its given field, and click on ‘Save’.

C. Map Necessary Fields

Now that you have connected your Sendinblue account, all you need is to map the necessary details from the step above. Mapping ensures our data remains dynamic and changes as per the received responses.

Select the List in which you want to save your contacts.

Map the New Email from the step above.

Similarly, map the other fields, and click on ‘Save & Send Test Request’.

As soon as you click on Save & Send Test Request, a contact will get added to your Sendinblue contact list.

Our automation is complete. We have successfully integrated Google Sheets with Sendinblue. Every time you input data into your Google Sheets spreadsheet, it will be automatically utilized to create contacts in Sendinblue.
