After following these steps, you will have set up the trigger for your workflow successfully.

Now that you have the webhook URL from Pabbly Connect, navigate to the WooCommerce settings in your WordPress dashboard. Go to the ‘Advanced’ section and select ‘Webhooks’. Click on the ‘Add Webhook’ button to create a new webhook.

Fill in the details for your webhook as follows: Name it ‘Product Updated’, set the status to active, and choose ‘Product Updated’ as the topic. Paste the webhook URL you copied earlier into the delivery URL field. After entering a dummy secret API version, click on the ‘Save’ button.

• Name: Product Updated

After saving the webhook, you will receive a confirmation message indicating the webhook was updated successfully. This confirms that WooCommerce is now connected to Pabbly Connect.

Once all fields are filled in and mapped correctly, click on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button to check if the LinkedIn post is created successfully.
