Available Google Triggers: How to Automate Messaging

Automating your communication based on user actions can transform your workflow. With the Wawp and Google Forms integration, you can use our Google Runtime Script Generator to automatically send WhatsApp messages. This is made possible through Google triggers. In this guide, we’ll explain the two main Google triggers available for Wawp and how they work.

What Are Wawp’s Google Triggers?

A Google trigger is a powerful feature that allows a specific task to be executed automatically when a predetermined event occurs. When a trigger is linked to your Wawp workflow, it acts as an instant signal to send a WhatsApp message based on your chosen criteria. Wawp’s Google Runtime Script Generator supports two core triggers that automate your messaging from Google Sheets.

Available triggers

• When entering data into Google Form
• When adding a new row to Google Sheets

Trigger 1: When a Google Form is Submitted

This is the most common and straightforward trigger. It is designed for workflows where a user submits a form, and you want to send them an instant, automated response.

• How it works: The trigger instantly activates the moment a user completes your Google Form. This action automatically adds a new row of data to the linked Google Sheet, which is then used by the Wawp script to send the WhatsApp message.
• Best for: Sending registration confirmations, appointment reminders, or welcome messages to users who have just signed up or filled out your form.

Trigger 2: When a New Row is Added to a Google Sheet

This trigger is more flexible and powerful, especially for advanced use cases. It fires every time a new row of data is added to your Google Sheet, regardless of the source.

• How it works: The trigger is activated whenever new data is added to your sheet. This is useful for automating messages from an external system, a new lead generated by an AI tool, or even when you manually add a new row yourself.
• Best for: Sending messages triggered by events from external systems, syncing data from other applications, or automating internal notifications.

The Benefits of Using Wawp’s Triggers
