If you are a new user, click on the ‘Sign Up’ button to create your account. This process is quick and grants you 100 free tasks upon registration. Once you’re logged in, you will be directed to the applications page where you can access Pabbly Connect.

2. Create a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In the Pabbly Connect dashboard, look for the ‘Create Workflow’ button on the right side and click on it. A dialog box will appear prompting you to name your workflow. Choose a name that reflects the purpose of the integration, such as ‘MailerSend to Slack Notification’.

Once you’ve named your workflow, click on ‘Create’. You will be presented with two main components: Trigger and Action. For this integration, your trigger application will be MailerSend, and the action application will be Slack. This setup allows you to automate notifications for hard bounced emails.

3. Set Up MailerSend as the Trigger Application

After creating the workflow, the next step is to configure MailerSend as the trigger application. Click on the trigger application section and select MailerSend. The trigger event you need is ‘Email is Hard Bounced’. This event will initiate the workflow whenever an email fails to deliver.

Click on ‘Connect’ to link your MailerSend account with Pabbly Connect. You will need to add a new connection by providing a token. To obtain this token, log into your MailerSend account, navigate to the domains section, and generate a new token. Name your token and copy it back to Pabbly Connect to complete the connection.

4. Configure Slack as the Action Application

With MailerSend set up as the trigger, the next step is to configure Slack as the action application. In Pabbly Connect, add an action step and select Slack. The action event will be to ‘Send Channel Message’. This action will notify your Slack team whenever a hard bounced email occurs.

Click on ‘Connect’ to link your Slack account. You will need to authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Slack workspace. Once connected, specify the channel where you want the notifications to be sent. Also, create a message template that includes relevant details about the bounced email.

• Select the Slack channel for notifications.
• Compose a message that details the hard bounced email.
• Map the email subject and recipient details into the message.

After filling in these details, you can save and send a test request to ensure the integration works correctly.

5. Test Your Integration for Success

Once your Slack action is configured, it’s time to test the integration. Send a test email from MailerSend that is guaranteed to bounce. This will trigger the workflow in Pabbly Connect and should result in a notification being sent to your specified Slack channel.

Check your Slack channel to confirm that the message has been received. If everything is set up correctly, you will see the notification detailing the hard bounced email, including the subject and recipient information. This confirms that your integration is successful!

For future use, you can continue to monitor your Slack channel for any hard bounced emails, ensuring your team stays informed in real time.
