After setting up your workflow, you will need to select Shopify as your trigger application. This is where you will specify that the workflow should be triggered by new orders.

3. Integrating Shopify with Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will connect your Shopify store with Pabbly Connect. Click on the plus button to add Shopify as your trigger application. Choose the event “New Order” to ensure that your workflow activates whenever a new order is placed.

Once selected, click on the “Connect” button to create a connection. A webhook URL will be generated, which you need to copy and integrate into your Shopify settings.

Connect your Gmail account by clicking on the “Connect” button. You can either select an existing connection or create a new one. Once connected, fill in the required fields such as sender name, recipient email, and email subject.

  • Set the sender name as “Order Automation”.

This setup ensures that every time a new order is placed, your team receives an email with all relevant details, thus improving response times and order processing efficiency.

5. Testing and Activating the Workflow

After configuring the email settings, it’s crucial to test your workflow. Go back to your Shopify store and place a test order. This action will trigger the webhook and send the order details to Pabbly Connect.

Once the test order is placed, return to your Pabbly Connect dashboard. You should see the order details captured successfully. If everything looks good, save and activate your workflow. This final step ensures that your automation is live and functioning as intended.

With this setup, you have effectively automated the process of notifying your sales team about new orders using Pabbly Connect. This not only saves time but also enhances your team’s ability to respond quickly to customer needs.
