After clicking ‘Create Workflow’, you will need to name your workflow. For this example, name it ‘Send Automated SMS to Website Leads’. You can also choose a folder for better organization, such as ‘Automations’.
Next, click the ‘Create’ button to proceed. You will now see the workflow window where you can set up the trigger and action. The trigger application will be Webhooks by Pabbly, and the action application will be Twilio.
- Select ‘Webhooks by Pabbly’ as the trigger application.
- Choose ‘Catch Webhook’ as the trigger event.
- Copy the generated webhook URL for later use.
With the trigger set, you can now move on to setting up the action with Twilio.
Setting Up Twilio for SMS Sending
To configure Twilio, you need to connect it with Pabbly Connect. Click on ‘Add New Connection’ under the Twilio action setup. You will be prompted to enter your Account SID and Authorization Token from your Twilio console.
Once you have entered these details, click on ‘Save’ to establish the connection. After successfully connecting, you will need to set up the SMS message details. This includes the sender’s number, recipient’s number, and the message body.
- Input the sender’s Twilio number.
- Map the recipient’s number from the webhook response.
- Compose your message, including dynamic fields if needed.
After filling in all required fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure everything is set up correctly.
Testing Your SMS Automation
To verify that your automation works, conduct a test submission through your website form. Enter dummy data, such as a name, email, and phone number, and submit the form.
After submission, return to your Pabbly Connect dashboard to check if the webhook response was captured successfully. You should see the lead details including the phone number in the response.
Next, check your Twilio account to confirm that the SMS was sent to the recipient’s number. This step ensures that the integration is functioning as expected.
