1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for WooCommerce Automation

To share different files for different WooCommerce products, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. This platform allows you to automate processes seamlessly. Start by signing up for a free account on the Pabbly Connect dashboard.

Once logged in, click on ‘Create Workflow’ and name your workflow, for instance, ‘WooCommerce to Google Drive’. This will be the foundation for automating file sharing based on product purchases.

2. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

The next step involves setting up the trigger in Pabbly Connect. In the trigger window, select WooCommerce as your app and choose ‘New Order Created’ as the trigger event. This action will initiate the workflow whenever a new order is placed in your WooCommerce store.

After selecting the trigger, Pabbly Connect will provide a webhook URL. Copy this URL and navigate to your WooCommerce settings. Under ‘Advanced’, click on ‘Webhooks’ and add a new webhook using the copied URL. Set the status to active and choose ‘Order Created’ as the topic.

• Select WooCommerce as the app.
• Choose ‘New Order Created’ as the trigger event.
• Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.
• Navigate to WooCommerce settings and add the webhook.

After saving the webhook, return to Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Capture Webhook Response’. This will allow Pabbly Connect to wait for data from WooCommerce when a new order is placed.

3. Placing a Test Order in WooCommerce

With the webhook set up, it’s time to place a test order to see if Pabbly Connect captures the order details correctly. Go to your WooCommerce store and select a product, such as a Java course, then proceed to checkout.

Fill in the customer details, including the email address, and place the order. Once the order is confirmed, return to Pabbly Connect to verify if the order details are captured. You should see the order information, including the product ID and customer details.

4. Creating Automation Routes for Different Products

The next step is to create automation routes in Pabbly Connect. This allows you to specify which files to share based on the product purchased. Click on ‘Add Router’ to create branches for each product.

For each route, set up filters based on the product name. For example, if a customer purchases the ‘Java Course for Beginners’, set a filter to check if the product name matches. If true, proceed to share the corresponding folder from Google Drive.

• Add a router to your workflow.
• Create a route for each product.
• Set filters based on product names.

After setting up the routes, add an action step to share the corresponding folder from Google Drive. Select Google Drive as the app and choose ‘Share a File or Folder by ID’. Connect your Google Drive account to Pabbly Connect.

5. Finalizing the Automation and Testing

After creating routes for all products, finalize your automation in Pabbly Connect. Ensure each route has the correct folder ID mapped to the corresponding product. Save the workflow and test it by placing an order for another product, like the PHP course.

Check the customer’s email inbox to confirm that they received the shared folder link. This will validate that the automation is working correctly and that the right files are shared with the customers based on their purchases.

With this setup, you can easily manage multiple products in your WooCommerce store and automate file sharing through Pabbly Connect. This not only saves time but also enhances customer satisfaction.

Conclusion

By following this tutorial, you can automate sharing different files for WooCommerce products using Pabbly Connect. This integration streamlines your workflow, ensuring customers receive the correct files upon purchase, enhancing their overall experience.
