By utilizing Pabbly Connect, you can easily automate the process without needing technical expertise. This integration connects Spayee with Twilio, an SMS sending software, to deliver notifications directly to students’ mobile devices.

2. Setting Up Pabbly Connect

To begin, access Pabbly Connect by visiting their website and signing up for a free account. Once logged in, navigate to the app section and select ‘Connect’ to create a new workflow.

• Click on ‘Create Workflow’ in the top right corner.
• Name your workflow (e.g., ‘Spayee to Twilio’).
• Set the trigger event to ‘New Enrollment’ from Spayee.

This initial setup in Pabbly Connect establishes the foundation for automating SMS notifications. After creating the workflow, you’re ready to integrate it with Spayee.

3. Integrating Spayee with Pabbly Connect

Next, you will integrate Spayee with Pabbly Connect using a webhook URL. This URL allows Spayee to send data to Pabbly Connect whenever a new student enrolls in a course.

In your Spayee account, navigate to the integrations section and select ‘Third Party’. Here, you will enter the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect to establish the connection.

• Copy the webhook URL from Pabbly Connect.
• Paste it into the Spayee integration settings.
• Save the settings to activate the webhook.

After saving, Pabbly Connect will now be ready to receive data from Spayee whenever a new enrollment occurs.

4. Sending SMS Notifications via Twilio

With the integration complete, the next step is to configure Pabbly Connect to send SMS notifications using Twilio. In your workflow, select Twilio as the action app and set the action event to ‘Send SMS Message’.

To connect Twilio, you will need to enter your Account SID and Auth Token, which can be found in your Twilio account settings. Once connected, you can customize the SMS message.

Map the recipient’s phone number from the data received from Spayee. Set the sender number as your Twilio number. Compose the SMS body with course details and joining link.

After saving these settings, Pabbly Connect will automatically send SMS notifications to students upon enrollment, ensuring they receive timely information about their courses.

5. Testing the Integration

Finally, it’s important to test the integration to ensure everything is functioning as expected. Enroll a test student in a course on Spayee and observe if an SMS notification is received via Twilio.

For example, if you enroll a student named Tony Stark in the Quantum Physics course, they should receive an SMS confirmation with the course link. This verification confirms that Pabbly Connect is effectively bridging the communication between Spayee and Twilio.

Once confirmed, you can rely on this automated process for all future enrollments. This powerful integration using Pabbly Connect streamlines communication and enhances the learning experience for students.
