### Connect Portant to Tally

After you have created your workflow, you will need to connect your Tally form to your Portant workflow. To do so, open your source block.

<figure><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeabzp9RLIHzz9ZiZfZ2RAbyMZmK22_EjOTrD7mUK5Qe82aJ363lHhBPdF3XroVGkBO3W49UdLGtrDcj48XOR4GcxWsbOQm9LsthVwkE7gyrQPoJg0ncW_D-OYuV9jTXFopgd8_qb6Kue0iEAUU6HrBLIwO?key=zL-7kx_PV3bcwFjJQYCWiA" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Follow the instructions as shown below: copy the webhook link from your source block.&#x20;

<figure><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdv7nm-UbomorcHSXBZddMxXJYdyQc-8oeelfhpUoLQ9V09KQbVTKjwuCQEhh_49ICrQcLwbnL4XYEgdeqzqH5kpFTw-hFzmeCffVBIRfgzTW1zGRts3i6Nv2hImp9VMsh94ECVfgbsH7QVb2_fFhba6U97?key=zL-7kx_PV3bcwFjJQYCWiA" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Go to Tally and find Integrations > Webhooks tab. Click "Connect" from the Webhooks option.

<figure><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfE7cre32CSQwMRJR2Jjud53oFE0U6KEuTP_SxcdaftMX3U6otCWAgEa2z49ZgpTFrpSgvfVLSCpIwoojyPD-IdqvlODYQORFIISCk-AW86qX9hnF3vkVS4-qWLQWVt2JP5qrjL2u5sauNKrovjZpzXr_yB?key=zL-7kx_PV3bcwFjJQYCWiA" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Paste the webhook link you copied from your Portant workflow and click "Connect."<br>

<figure><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcUTg7H2y9VHESsWd8q1aTuCDsHbaOpnlKWzbVSiIPyYVWXVHBhMbSQO8YDj7xLT-lEXyc2Qgc8zeKoALeuu9guofXejdW5IoTzmPO92jz5TGWmUTMD7fifNyX5-hn3ASMHR8ybvTtnyDSu25GGV1r7YG8?key=zL-7kx_PV3bcwFjJQYCWiA" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

You will see the webhook added to your Tally in the "My connections" section. To test the integration, click the clock icon to send a test event.<br>

<figure><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXc_v6Ct6GYXVseIYj5pzfwuXrsWQeh_uKlYlerTFey50QXlNl7CftuxaAFgjpy_MMl_v83vMQfXnHBOhUhQBQSq6frix5HBzJLnhcXR7ImyTaZiPqX5UptEtCS9rz1UTAjtZt9woexK8-XzhkhmGIu48rg?key=zL-7kx_PV3bcwFjJQYCWiA" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Click "Send Test Event"

<figure><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXe893HAjtzkeqXu98BBMDnE0n3I9A78uJpvMehHoymyv3PcwUKNqFseaWS3ZSQ5Zc_4NGZl9uXSwP04h9F77ermiKXRIEo6oecNdfuXXVkw2_vHpOzamkmOTKwLlmJsOiqsp2Q95rKviFhBC0juqH6v-Jqn?key=zL-7kx_PV3bcwFjJQYCWiA" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

You will see that an event has been delivered, confirming that Portant and your Tally form are correctly linked.<br>

<figure><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcaKkQt70ZgAs0GMKGnoTM6QI2QK7oXWioKnxMFRAcphZQaBoBkapTtSp5L_t6k32ES0QhCIHbqEGJzPtBTuLBNJK83tTDMQXAGjcG5bixvKHgUzZB0FIF0Gwre9tqXRHEfLjTi2rhOrrpyCN4z7lqrnFyP?key=zL-7kx_PV3bcwFjJQYCWiA" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

You will also see in the "Source tab" in Portant that the event has been received correctly.

<figure><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeX5b1-uPWnLTyc_3LMnbjhPdIR-rWiWhnAnI46-DLQTn8eywGP-vDkHGBxIhUQwBo1FswgEr5pYBBtrwtn0z-z5fLfg-Hib_ZCUxx8YPtcLQ8gGHhlgv41ORkDFGOaGEnZR4dYzcZoEKrJ-y6TJtyQPQ?key=zL-7kx_PV3bcwFjJQYCWiA" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Consequently, your Tally source block in the workflow will now show a green tick, meaning that everything has been set up correctly.

### Edit a Tally source workflow

Now you are ready to select a template for your workflow. To do so, simply click "Add Template".

<figure><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcoZuc1u96kd4ybHs00dxKv4oW7TMl3BVJkT_3F4UpBcv18c8x8bGm9qCFTAIOpshPZsnWHmyOoRGEWWZNTLh7_Q7mMR_3nuH0vWxUrOLWI8pLCcFfAL5SLsePCstSqoDGOjeIaDeZAos4La8GNoLCl6Bc?key=zL-7kx_PV3bcwFjJQYCWiA" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Choose the source you want to use, which can be either a Google Docs or a Google Slides file. In this example, we are picking Google Docs.<br>

<figure><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdQJQ-Glj9t5XLFEgP7s6IN54nxyDUmo1m8idKw0D36fDGgvLYW0uLLjunRAc8FH7oaKUxFgDQqbiIZxThSxfHVnQHiUUj9THtWPu51I56oM3GufH6YuQ1lhCG0mWjogTLRbeR8YUt_gDlltLaNPzQww-9B?key=zL-7kx_PV3bcwFjJQYCWiA" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Choose the location your template is saved in on your Google Drive, or create a new Google Docs file.

<figure><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXda5AJ3lL7ytgUbOh_kI_7QgmIcw1Rjwf__EW42og_q5QMacJrNqSi0J_1cA1Rfh8xGJqSX1DZA8URQ3JOOk9SzmraYY-SzOkYjMPW9YTqDh6vEC392LpDWZRr1xRqm8607ArWibNvHUiX4BMpWb2FA8U4j?key=zL-7kx_PV3bcwFjJQYCWiA" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

In this case, we are selecting a template from our drive that is already prepared for the workflow. Simply select the template file and then click "Select".<br>

<figure><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfV90nLWms4Rui2nyZ2_aTWJWAvPnRwNEXK2dJltVWNu5VzChIZa0-JYlwpWuRmI3QvOv8ubW_MkX0QmeznrWPiGwRJVHBDKFITGBY1qDQNzJ45RmfFoJ2dBDsQCG8uz95rwhbN0yJuu817rli9HbfZCp1q?key=zL-7kx_PV3bcwFjJQYCWiA" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Now your workflow will look like this: one source block and a template block.<br>

<figure><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXc4AfUrvWd4sNmgzU_Ee2DUvV9n6VVDOPiDz72hGAoNZM0hRRMJ1-C9TNMWjpL7-CIMnC3WZ1PpuNTrRZSa97fxbgWkkviyVEl_RSYjPkYsq-XGREDgmkxhS9s85_R3V_dZOlt0Esqs-Ut6f66iHUrT89wG?key=zL-7kx_PV3bcwFjJQYCWiA" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The next step is to open the template block and customize your template. On the right-hand side of your screen, you will see a source table where you can copy all the tags from your Tally form and place them into your template document as shown below. In Portant App, we have full integration with Google Workspace, which means you can create and edit your Google documents directly within the app with all the formatting tools at your disposal.

<figure><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfNPNpFsx6Wog5wr-n1O_Cb3EjO2QAKvpEh9cuOmWn7C5iksEFGqBlsmFCTuBZ9qAT2ttbhpgqgaHv0pOP17HjPxDnnXrMNsg1rzFHu0daMKqwRLvH0ajAbUPBajzIWI1ETtmMCFjb1Bre9zS4n6n5pfTA9?key=zL-7kx_PV3bcwFjJQYCWiA" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Once your template is ready, you can choose to save your outputs as PDF files by turning on the "Create PDF copy" option.<br>

<figure><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXez-VfH2qhLYUqouZIDxFvkYccFXE8yLUlOhPdqgRwW3Qx10fSYdxrjeVtpxwpnekp8wyNwT1ToIhGb40wTAbdH6LbkM7yx1RXgLfvlFrENWZjfzhW08TV3ojhhHiRDBIYu0QgSw07M7Ni3IiBan3oFF0I9?key=zL-7kx_PV3bcwFjJQYCWiA" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Additionally, if you don't want to save the outputs as Google Docs, you can toggle on the option: "Remove Google Docs output files".

<figure><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXc4XWkxX7ohKXqjKamdBKEPa2Cythu9LWNN2UZMQz2g8QYqnkbxaR2I_oQdSDX-Te20l-3BxaFGJx1qBLcFW364mTlAMRHDgZ7AAYVqcq-_mlDoJsQbXin0dkaH-QcxrDE1yIS8_4RB0mPeK9WYW9v3GaLt?key=zL-7kx_PV3bcwFjJQYCWiA" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

You are all set!&#x20;

Keep in mind that the auto-create mode, which will already be activated by default when you create your Tally workflow, needs to stay turned on so every time you have a new response in your Tally form, Portant will run the workflow automatically.<br>

<figure><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfzK7aabEg23U-Er_4YJHfWP9S5feSWLpVKp12Sb2W3ZWj7HEi4czEep0ExXmSuG3jKj0vsCd9AfeO3nXnU9_pLMs-YIIRSTlepi2fSSzzibqh0To_YBVZ7aIo3yOU-3Qn_UpvfHpchLBMRWYNJwFcgesNJ?key=zL-7kx_PV3bcwFjJQYCWiA" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

You can also add more stages to your workflow, such as sending those documents by email and even requesting signatures! To learn more about how to request signatures with the Portant App, please refer to this [article](https://docs.portant.co/portant-docs/use-cases/esignatures-requests).
