Once signed in, navigate to the Pabbly Connect dashboard. This is where you will create your workflow to connect Thinkific and Gmail. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and choose the new beta workflow builder for a more modern experience.

2. Create a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will create a workflow specifically for sending course access emails. Name it ‘Auto Send Course Access Emails to New Thinkific Students’ and select a folder for organization.

• Click on ‘Create’ to finalize the workflow setup.
• Select ‘Thinkific’ as the trigger application.
• Choose ‘Enrollment Created’ as the trigger event.

After setting up the trigger, you will see a webhook URL. This URL will be used to connect Thinkific with Pabbly Connect. Copy this URL and proceed to the next step for integration.

3. Integrate Thinkific with Pabbly Connect

To establish the connection between Thinkific and Pabbly Connect, go to your Thinkific account. Navigate to the settings and select ‘Webhooks’ under the ‘Code & Analytics’ section. Here, you will create a new webhook.

• Paste the copied webhook URL into the target URL field.
• Select ‘Enrollment’ for the model and ‘Enrollment Created’ for the topic.
• Save the webhook to finalize the integration.

Once saved, return to Pabbly Connect and wait for a webhook response. To test this, create a new enrollment in Thinkific. This will trigger the webhook and allow you to capture the data in Pabbly Connect.

4. Send Email Using Gmail in Pabbly Connect

After successfully capturing the webhook response, the next step is to set up Gmail to send the course access email. In your Pabbly Connect workflow, add a new action step and select ‘Gmail’ as the action application.

Choose ‘Send Email’ as the action event. Connect your Gmail account to Pabbly Connect. Map the required fields such as sender name, recipient email, subject, and email content.

Make sure to personalize the email content using data from the webhook response. For example, include the student’s name and the course they enrolled in. This will ensure that each email is tailored specifically to the new student.

5. Finalize the Integration and Test

With your Gmail action configured, the final step is to save the workflow and send a test email. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to check if the email is sent successfully.

After sending the test email, check your Gmail inbox to verify that the email was received. You should see a personalized message welcoming the new student and providing access to their course. This confirms that your integration between Thinkific and Gmail via Pabbly Connect is working flawlessly.
