1. Introduction to Pabbly Connect for Alert Notifications

Pabbly Connect is a powerful automation platform that allows you to set up an alert notification system for your business. With Pabbly Connect, you can integrate various applications like Razorpay, Slack, and more to receive timely notifications about important events.

In this tutorial, we will specifically focus on how to use Pabbly Connect to set up notifications for payment captures from Razorpay, sending alerts to your Slack channel. This integration will help you stay updated on your business activities.

2. Setting Up Pabbly Connect Workflow

To begin, log in to your Pabbly Connect account. Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard where you will see a button labeled ‘Create Workflow’. Click on this button to initiate your workflow setup.

• Click on ‘Create Workflow’ and provide a name for your workflow.
• Name your workflow something like ‘Setup Alert Notification System for Your Business’.
• Click ‘Create’ to proceed.

After creating the workflow, you will see two main modules: Trigger and Action. The trigger will be set to Razorpay, as it is where the payment event occurs. This setup is crucial for using Pabbly Connect to automate notifications effectively.

3. Integrating Razorpay with Pabbly Connect

Next, you need to select Razorpay as your trigger application. Choose the event ‘Payment Captured’ as this will notify you when a payment has been successfully processed.

Pabbly Connect will provide you with a webhook URL. This URL needs to be integrated into your Razorpay account to establish a connection. Here’s how:

• Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.
• Log in to your Razorpay account and navigate to the settings to add the webhook URL.
• Once integrated, Pabbly Connect will start waiting for a response from Razorpay.

To test the integration, make a sample payment through Razorpay. After completing the payment, check your Pabbly Connect dashboard to see if it has received the payment details. This step confirms that the integration is working correctly.

4. Setting Up Slack Notifications with Pabbly Connect

Now that Razorpay is connected, the next step is to set up Slack as your action application in Pabbly Connect. This will allow you to send notifications to your Slack channel whenever a payment is captured.

Select Slack and choose the event ‘Send Channel Message’. You will need to connect your Slack account to Pabbly Connect by providing the necessary permissions. Here’s how:

Click on ‘Connect’ and select ‘Add New Connection’. Choose the token type as ‘Bot’ for sending messages. Authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Slack account.

Once connected, select the Slack channel where you want the notifications to be sent. Customize your message by including details such as the name of the customer, email, and appointment date. This customization ensures that your team receives all relevant information regarding the payment.

5. Testing and Finalizing Your Alert Notification System

After setting up the Slack notification message, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ in Pabbly Connect. This will send a test message to your selected Slack channel to confirm that everything is working as intended.

Check your Slack channel to see if the message appears correctly. If there are any errors, you can troubleshoot them directly in Pabbly Connect. Once confirmed, your alert notification system is fully operational.

With this setup, every time a payment is captured via Razorpay, a notification will be sent to your Slack channel, keeping you informed in real-time. You can also explore using other applications like Twilio for SMS notifications or Gmail for email alerts, all through Pabbly Connect.
