2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once logged into Pabbly Connect, navigate to the dashboard and click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. A dialog box will prompt you to name your workflow.

For this integration, name the workflow something like ‘WebinarKit to Twilio’ to indicate that you will be connecting WebinarKit with Twilio. After naming, click on ‘Create’ to proceed.

• Name your workflow appropriately.
• Click on ‘Create’ to initiate the workflow.

This will take you to a new window where you will set up the trigger and action for your workflow. The trigger application will be WebinarKit, and the action application will be Twilio.

3. Setting Up the WebinarKit Trigger

In Pabbly Connect, select WebinarKit as your trigger application. Next, choose the trigger event as ‘New Webinar Registration’. This event will initiate the workflow whenever a new registration occurs.

Upon selecting the trigger event, you will receive a webhook URL. This URL acts as a bridge connecting Pabbly Connect with WebinarKit. Copy this URL as you will need to paste it into your WebinarKit settings.

• Select ‘New Webinar Registration’ as the trigger event.
• Copy the generated webhook URL for later use.

Now, head over to your WebinarKit account to paste this webhook URL into the appropriate settings for your webinars.

4. Configuring the WebinarKit Webhook

In your WebinarKit account, locate the webinar you want to integrate. Click on ‘Edit Webinar’ and scroll down to the ‘Webhooks’ section. Here, paste the webhook URL you copied from Pabbly Connect.

After pasting the URL, click on ‘Complete’ to finalize the changes. This step ensures that your WebinarKit is now linked to Pabbly Connect, allowing it to send registration data automatically.

Paste the webhook URL in the Webhooks section of your webinar settings. Click ‘Complete’ to save the webhook configuration.

Now, return to Pabbly Connect to test the webhook connection by performing a mock registration.

5. Testing the Registration and Sending SMS via Twilio

To test the integration, perform a mock registration through the registration link provided by WebinarKit. Fill in the necessary details, such as first name, email address, and mobile number, and click on ‘Register Now’.

Once the registration is complete, go back to Pabbly Connect and set up Twilio as the action application. Choose the action event ‘Send SMS Message’. Connect your Twilio account by entering the required credentials such as Account SID and Authorization Token.

Select Twilio as the action application. Choose ‘Send SMS Message’ as the action event. Enter your Twilio Account SID and Authorization Token to connect.

After setting up Twilio, configure the SMS message body, including the registrant’s name and webinar details. Finally, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to send a test SMS. If everything is set up correctly, you will receive the SMS confirming the registration.
