1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Slack and WishList Integration

To start sending Slack messages for new WishList members, you’ll first need to set up Pabbly Connect. This powerful automation tool allows you to create seamless workflows between different applications.

Begin by accessing your Pabbly Connect dashboard. If you don’t have an account, sign up for free and get started with 100 automation tasks each month. Once logged in, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to initiate the process.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will create a new workflow to connect your WishList members with Slack notifications. Name your workflow something recognizable, like ‘WishList Members to Slack’.

• Click on the ‘Create’ button to proceed.
• Select ‘WishList Member’ as your app from the trigger options.
• Choose ‘Member Added to a Level’ as the trigger event.

After selecting the trigger, Pabbly Connect will provide you with a webhook URL necessary for integration with your WordPress WishList Member plugin. Copy this URL as you will need to paste it into your WordPress settings.

3. Integrating WishList Member with Pabbly Connect

Now, you need to integrate the copied webhook URL into your WishList Member plugin on WordPress. Navigate to the WishList Member settings and find the ‘Integrations’ tab.

• Click on ‘Other Services’ and then ‘Webhooks’.
• Select the ‘Outgoing’ option and edit the membership level you want to connect.
• Paste the webhook URL into the outgoing webhook URL box and save your changes.

This integration allows Pabbly Connect to receive data whenever a new member is added to your WishList site, enabling the subsequent actions to take place.

4. Testing the Integration for New Members

After setting up the webhook, it’s time to test the integration to ensure it works correctly. Go back to your WishList Member plugin and add a new member manually.

Enter the member’s name, email, and select the membership level. Click on ‘Add Member’ to save the new member.

Once the member is added, Pabbly Connect will capture the data from the webhook, confirming that the integration is functioning correctly. You will see the member’s details populated in the response section of Pabbly Connect.

5. Sending Slack Messages via Pabbly Connect

The final step is to set up the action in Pabbly Connect to send a message to your Slack channel. Choose Slack as the action app and select ‘Send Channel Message’ as the action event.

Connect your Slack account by allowing Pabbly Connect to access it. Select your desired channel and craft a message to notify your team about the new member. You can map the data received from the webhook to personalize the message.

Once you save and test this integration, a message will be sent to your Slack channel every time a new member joins your WishList site, keeping your team informed seamlessly.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can efficiently automate Slack notifications for new WishList members using Pabbly Connect. This integration not only saves time but also ensures your team is always updated without manual intervention.
