2. Setting Up the Trigger with WooCommerce in Pabbly Connect

In this section, we will set up WooCommerce as the trigger application using Pabbly Connect. Click on ‘Add Trigger’ and search for WooCommerce. Select it and choose the event ‘New Order Created’. This event will trigger the workflow whenever a new order is placed.

• Click on ‘Connect’ to initiate the connection.
• Copy the generated webhook URL.
• Open your WooCommerce account and navigate to the settings.

Once you have copied the webhook URL, go to WooCommerce settings, then to the ‘Advanced’ tab, and find the ‘Webhooks’ option. Click on ‘Add Webhook’, name it (e.g., ‘New Order’), set the status to active, and paste the webhook URL. This connection allows Pabbly Connect to receive data from WooCommerce whenever an order is created.

3. Capturing the Webhook Response in Pabbly Connect

After setting up the webhook in WooCommerce, you need to capture the webhook response in Pabbly Connect. Click on ‘Recapture Webhook Response’ in your Pabbly Connect workflow. This will prepare the system to receive data about the new order.

To test the connection, place a new order in your WooCommerce store. Make sure to fill in all necessary details, including the customer’s email and name. Once the order is placed, Pabbly Connect will capture the response, showing you the order details, including the customer’s information.

4. Sending Confirmation Email via Gmail Using Pabbly Connect

Now that we have captured the order details, the next step is to send a confirmation email via Gmail. In your Pabbly Connect workflow, click on ‘Add Action Step’ and search for Gmail. Select it and choose the event ‘Send Email’. Click on ‘Connect’ to set up the Gmail connection.

• Select or create a new connection by signing into your Gmail account.
• Fill in the sender’s name and email address.
• Map the recipient’s email address using the data captured from WooCommerce.

In the email subject, include the customer’s name and a confirmation message. For the email body, you can use HTML format to create a visually appealing message. Map the customer’s name and order details dynamically so that each email is personalized. Once everything is set up, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify the process.
