2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once logged into Pabbly Connect, you can create a new workflow to add WooCommerce products from MS Excel. Click on the plus sign and select ‘Create Workflow’. Name your workflow, for example, ‘Add WooCommerce Products from MS Excel’, and click ‘Create’.

This will bring you to a screen with a trigger and an action window. The trigger application will be MS Excel, while the action application will be WooCommerce. This setup ensures that when a new row is added to your Excel sheet, a new product will automatically be created in WooCommerce.

3. Setting Up the MS Excel Trigger

In this section, you will configure the trigger for your workflow using Pabbly Connect. Select MS Excel as the application and choose the trigger event as ‘New Row in Worksheet’. Click on ‘Connect’ and then ‘Add New Connection’.

Next, authorize Pabbly Connect to access your MS Excel account by clicking ‘Yes’. Once connected, select the specific workbook where you have listed your product details. For instance, you might have a workbook named ‘Create Products in WooCommerce’. Ensure that the correct sheet is selected before proceeding.

• Select your Excel workbook containing product details.
• Ensure you have the correct sheet name selected.

After saving, send a test request to verify that the connection works and captures the product details successfully.

4. Configuring the WooCommerce Action

Now it’s time to set up the action in your workflow using Pabbly Connect. Select WooCommerce as the action application and choose ‘Create Product’ as the action event. Click on ‘Connect’ and add a new connection by entering the required consumer key, secret key, and website URL.

To obtain these keys, navigate to your WordPress dashboard, go to WooCommerce settings, then to the Advanced tab, and select REST API. Here, you can generate a new API key for integration. Make sure to copy and paste the consumer key and secret into Pabbly Connect.

• Enter your website URL without the trailing slash.
• Set permissions to read and write when generating your API key.

After saving the connection, you will be ready to map the product details from your Excel sheet to WooCommerce.

5. Mapping Product Details from Excel to WooCommerce

In this final step, you will map the product details from your MS Excel spreadsheet to WooCommerce using Pabbly Connect. This involves selecting the corresponding fields for product name, description, price, stock, and image URL. Utilize the data captured from the Excel trigger to fill in the required fields.

Once all details are mapped correctly, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to create a test product in WooCommerce. You should see a response indicating that a new product has been added successfully. Verify this by checking your WooCommerce product list.
