How to create an automation

Let’s imagine you need to integrate PayPal and Google Sheets. Open the Automation tab and click the New button.

The first step is to set up the sending app. Select:

• from - PayPal
• event - Sale completed
• connection

The next step is to set up the receiving app. Select:

• where - Google sheets
• action - new sheet row
• connection

This step is to specify in which Google sheet column Albato will transfer the PayPal data. Click the Continue button.

In the Automation builder tab, you can add steps to the scenario or change its name.

The automation is ready. Click the Start button to run it. When an event happens in PayPal, the trigger will start the scenario and the data will be transferred to the Google spreadsheet.
