1. Understanding Fluent Forms and MySQL Database

In this tutorial, we will explore how to use Pabbly Connect to send Fluent Form data to a MySQL Database automatically. Fluent Forms is a WordPress plugin that allows users to create various forms easily. MySQL, on the other hand, is a database management system that stores data efficiently.

When a user submits a form created with Fluent Forms, we want that information to be automatically added to a MySQL database. This integration will allow for seamless data collection without manual entry. Using Pabbly Connect, we can set up this automation without any coding knowledge required.

2. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Integration

To begin, access Pabbly Connect by visiting the Pabbly website. If you are a new user, click on the ‘Sign Up for Free’ option to create an account. Existing users can simply sign in. Once logged in, navigate to the Pabbly Connect dashboard.

• Go to the Pabbly Connect dashboard.
• Click on the ‘+’ icon to create a new workflow.
• Name your workflow (e.g., ‘Send Fluent Forms Data to MySQL Database’).

After naming your workflow, you will see a trigger and action setup. In the trigger section, select Fluent Forms and the event as ‘New Form Submission’. This process will initiate the workflow whenever a form is submitted.

3. Configuring Fluent Forms for Pabbly Connect

Next, we need to configure Fluent Forms to send data to Pabbly Connect. Go to your WordPress dashboard and find the Fluent Forms option. Open the form you wish to integrate, and add the necessary fields such as first name, last name, email, and mobile number.

Once your form is ready, click on the ‘Settings’ option and navigate to the ‘Webhooks’ section. Here, you will add a new webhook by pasting the URL provided by Pabbly Connect into the designated field. Name the webhook (e.g., ‘MySQL Integration’) and save it.

• Select ‘Fluent Forms Submitted’ for the webhook trigger.
• Add the webhook URL from Pabbly Connect.
• Save the settings to finalize the integration.

After saving, your Fluent Form is now connected to Pabbly Connect, ready to send data to MySQL.

4. Connecting MySQL Database to Pabbly Connect

Now that we have set up Fluent Forms, the next step is to connect our MySQL database to Pabbly Connect. In the action section of your workflow, select MySQL and choose ‘Insert Row’ as the action event. Click on ‘Connect’ and then ‘Add New Connection’.

Enter your MySQL database credentials, including the database username, password, host, database name, and port (usually 3306). After entering the details, click ‘Save’. This will establish a connection between Pabbly Connect and your MySQL database.

Provide the database username and password. Specify the host and database name. Select the appropriate table for data insertion.

Once connected, you can map the form fields from Fluent Forms to the corresponding columns in your MySQL database.

5. Testing the Integration Between Fluent Forms and MySQL

With everything set up, it’s time to test the integration. Fill out the Fluent Form with sample data and submit it. Once submitted, Pabbly Connect will capture the data, and you should see the response in the dashboard.

Check your MySQL database to confirm that a new entry has been created with the submitted details. If the data appears correctly, your integration is successful! You can now automate the process of sending data from Fluent Forms to your MySQL database using Pabbly Connect.

To ensure everything is functioning as expected, repeat the form submission process with different data. Monitor your MySQL database for new entries each time a form is submitted.

Conclusion

In conclusion, using Pabbly Connect, you can effortlessly automate the process of sending Fluent Form data to your MySQL database. This integration eliminates manual data entry and enhances efficiency in data management. With just a few steps, you can set up this powerful automation and streamline your workflow.
