1. Access Pabbly Connect to Start Integration

To begin integrating your website form with Slack, first access Pabbly Connect. Visit the Pabbly website by typing pabby.com in your browser and sign in to your existing account or sign up for free if you are a new user.

Once logged in, navigate to the Pabbly Connect dashboard. Here, you can create a new workflow by clicking on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. This is where you will set up the automation to connect your website form to Slack.

2. Create a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will create a workflow specifically for linking your website form to Slack using Pabbly Connect. Click on ‘Create Workflow’ and give your workflow a name, such as ‘Website Form to Slack in 5 Minutes’. Select your preferred folder for the workflow.

After naming your workflow, you will be prompted to choose a trigger application. Here, select ‘Webhooks by Pabbly’ as your trigger application, and choose ‘Catch Hook’ as the trigger event. This step is crucial as it initiates the workflow whenever a new form submission occurs.

• Select ‘Webhooks by Pabbly’ as the trigger application.
• Choose ‘Catch Hook’ as the trigger event.
• Click ‘Connect’ to establish the connection.

Once connected, Pabbly Connect will provide you with a webhook URL. You will need to copy this URL and integrate it into your website form code to capture the submissions.

3. Set Up Webhook in Your Website Form

Now that you have the webhook URL from Pabbly Connect, it’s time to integrate it into your website form. Open the code for your website form in a text editor and locate the section where the form submits data.

Replace the existing dummy webhook URL in your form code with the one provided by Pabbly Connect. After pasting the URL, save your changes and refresh the form page to ensure the new webhook is active.

Next, test the integration by submitting a test form entry. This will allow Pabbly Connect to capture the webhook response and confirm that the connection is functioning correctly.

4. Configure Slack to Receive Notifications

After confirming that your webhook is set up correctly, it’s time to configure Slack to receive notifications of new form submissions using Pabbly Connect. In your Pabbly Connect workflow, add a new action step and select ‘Slack’ as your action application.

For the action event, choose ‘Send Channel Message’. Click ‘Connect’ to link your Slack account. You will need to enter the token type (user or bot) and grant permissions to allow Pabbly Connect to send messages to your Slack channel.

• Select ‘Slack’ as the action application.
• Choose ‘Send Channel Message’ as the action event.
• Connect your Slack account and grant necessary permissions.

Once connected, specify the channel ID where you want the messages to be sent and create a message template that includes the lead details captured from the form submission.

5. Test the Integration and Finalize Setup

With everything set up, it’s time to test the integration to ensure that your team receives notifications in Slack whenever a form submission occurs. Go back to your Pabbly Connect workflow and send a test message to Slack.

After executing the test, check your designated Slack channel to see if the message appears with the correct lead details. If everything looks good, your integration is complete!

This seamless connection between your website form and Slack, facilitated by Pabbly Connect, allows your team to stay updated on new leads in real-time. Congratulations on setting up your automation!
