1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for FastSpring and Brevo Integration

To start automating the process of creating Brevo contacts from FastSpring orders, first, you need to access Pabbly Connect. This platform allows you to connect various applications seamlessly. Sign up for a free account on Pabbly Connect, which can be done in just a few minutes.

Once you have created your account, log in to your Pabbly Connect dashboard. From there, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to initiate the automation process. Name your workflow, for example, ‘FastSpring to Brevo’, and select the appropriate folder for organization.

2. Configuring FastSpring as the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will set FastSpring as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. After selecting FastSpring, choose the trigger event as ‘Order Completed’. This event will notify Pabbly Connect whenever a new order is placed.

After selecting the trigger event, Pabbly Connect will provide you with a webhook URL. You need to copy this URL and add it to your FastSpring account. Navigate to the Developer Tools section in FastSpring, and under Webhooks, click on the ‘Add Webhook’ button. Fill in the required details:

• Title: Pabbly Connect
• Send details for both live and test orders.
• Enable webhook expansion.

After setting this up, paste the copied webhook URL into the URL field and save the configuration. Now, Pabbly Connect is ready to capture order details from FastSpring.

3. Testing the FastSpring Integration with Pabbly Connect

To test the integration, place a dummy order on your FastSpring checkout page. Enter customer details such as name and email, and complete the payment process. Once the order is placed, Pabbly Connect will receive the order details almost instantly.

Check your Pabbly Connect workflow to see if the order details have been captured. You should see information like customer name, email, and payment amount in US Dollars. This confirms that the connection between FastSpring and Pabbly Connect is functioning correctly.

4. Creating a Brevo Contact from FastSpring Order Details

Now that you have successfully set up the trigger, it’s time to configure Brevo as the action application in Pabbly Connect. Search for Brevo in the action step and select the action event as ‘Create or Update Contact’. This will allow you to add the customer from FastSpring into your Brevo account.

To connect your Brevo account, enter your domain and API key. You can find the API key in your Brevo account settings under SMTP and API. After connecting, map the customer details received from FastSpring into the respective fields in Brevo:

• Email: Map the email from FastSpring.
• First Name: Map the first name from FastSpring.
• Last Name: Map the last name from FastSpring.
• Mobile Number: Map the mobile number from FastSpring.

After mapping the fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. If successful, the customer will now appear as a contact in your Brevo account.

5. Verifying the Brevo Contact Creation

Finally, go to your Brevo account and check the contacts section to verify if the new customer has been added correctly. You should see the same details as entered during the FastSpring checkout, confirming that the integration via Pabbly Connect is working perfectly.

This automation not only saves time but also ensures that your email marketing efforts are streamlined. You can test the entire process again by placing another dummy order to see if the contact is added in real-time.
