1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Slack and Drip Integration

To automate sending Slack channel messages when a subscriber is added to Drip, we will utilize Pabbly Connect. First, access the Pabbly Connect dashboard. If you don’t have an account, you can create one for free by clicking the sign-up link provided in the description.

Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard and click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow (e.g., ‘Drip to Slack’) and click ‘Create’. This initiates the setup for connecting Drip and Slack via Pabbly Connect.

2. Connecting Drip to Pabbly Connect

In the workflow, you will see two windows: the trigger window and the action window. Start with the trigger window to connect your Drip account. In the ‘Choose App’ section, search for Drip and select it. Then, from the dropdown list, choose ‘New Subscriber’ as the event.

• Select ‘Add New Connection’ to link your Drip account.
• Enter your Drip API token in the designated field.
• Leave the password field blank and click ‘Save’.

Now, to obtain your API token, go to your Drip dashboard, click on ‘Profiles’, then ‘User Settings’, and scroll down to find the API token. Copy this token and paste it into Pabbly Connect. After saving, your Drip account will be connected.

3. Adding a Test Subscriber in Drip

After connecting Drip to Pabbly Connect, you need to test the integration by adding a dummy subscriber. Go to your Drip account and navigate to the ‘People’ section. Click on ‘Add People’ and enter the email address of the new subscriber.

Once you have added the subscriber, return to Pabbly Connect. The platform will automatically fetch the details of the newly added subscriber. You will see the details such as the subscriber’s email address and creation time in the response section.

4. Sending Slack Messages via Pabbly Connect

Now, we will set up the action to send a message to Slack. In the action window, search for Slack and select it. Choose ‘Send Channel Message’ as the action event and click ‘Connect’. You will need to authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Slack account.

• Select ‘User-Based Token’ for the connection type.
• Authorize the connection by clicking ‘Allow’ when prompted.
• Choose the Slack channel where you want to send the messages.

Next, compose your message. For example, you can write: ‘Hello team, we have a new subscriber in Drip: {Subscriber Email}.’. To map the email address of the subscriber, simply click on the field and select the email response from Drip. Finally, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to check if the message is sent successfully.

5. Verifying the Integration

After setting up the action, it’s crucial to verify that the integration works correctly. Go to your Slack channel and check for the message sent by Pabbly Connect. It should display the new subscriber’s email and the time they were added.

To test it further, add another subscriber in Drip. Within seconds, you should see another message in Slack confirming the new addition. This confirms that the integration is functioning as intended and that Pabbly Connect is effectively automating the process.

Conclusion

Using Pabbly Connect, you can easily automate messages in Slack whenever a new subscriber is added to Drip. This integration not only saves time but also keeps your team informed in real-time.
