For the purpose of this tutorial, we are going to select Google sheet as the trigger app. Any new contact added to the Google sheet will be added to a list in Mailmodo.
The steps mentioned below are for Google sheet. They can vary depending on the trigger app you use.Select Watch Rows as the trigger.
Step 3: Configure the trigger app. Connect your Google account. Select the spreadsheet from which you would want to push data. If there are headers, click on Next. Select the row range you have the headers on. Enter the maximum number of rows that would be worked on in one execution cycle.
In ‘Choose where to start’, you can select the options based on your data set in the google sheet. If you want to start the cycle from a particular data element, you can select it by using its ID or choosing manually from the list.
Click on the clock icon to configure the frequency of scenario.
Step 4: Click on the semi circle to add another module.
Search for ‘Mailmodo’ to add it as a module. Select Add to contact list as the action.
Step 5: Connect your Mailmodo account. Click on Add (under Connections). Paste the API key copied from Mailmodo.
Step 6: Map the Email field to the column in your spreadsheet containing Email ID's. Also, select the list to which the contact will be added in Mailmodo. Map personalization parameters to the corresponding columns in Google sheet.
