1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Automation

To automate creating SendFox contacts and Zoho Desk tickets, you need to set up Pabbly Connect. Begin by signing up for a free account, which allows you to create automation workflows.

After logging into Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow, for example, ‘Webhook to Zoho Desk to SendFox’. Select a folder for your workflow and click ‘Create’. This action opens a new workflow with two windows: the trigger and action windows.


2. Configuring the Webhook Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In the trigger window of Pabbly Connect, select the ‘Webhook’ option. From the trigger event dropdown, choose ‘Catch Webhook’. This generates a unique webhook URL that you will use in your form application.

  • Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.
  • Paste the URL into the integration settings of your form application (e.g., P Form Builder).
  • Save the changes to activate the webhook.

After saving, Pabbly Connect will indicate that it is waiting for a webhook response. You can test this by submitting a dummy form with user details, which will trigger the webhook.

Once you have received the webhook response, the next step is to create a contact in Zoho Desk. In the action window, search for ‘Zoho Desk’ and select it. Choose the action event ‘Create Contact’ and click ‘Connect’. using Pabbly Connect

When prompted for the Zoho domain, log into your Zoho account to find it in the URL. For example, if your URL is ‘zoho.in’, enter that in the connection setup. After connecting, you will need to map the fields from the webhook response to the Zoho Desk contact fields, such as first name, last name, email, and phone number.

  • Use the existing Zoho Desk connection that you created earlier.
  • Map the ticket subject and description fields using the data from the webhook response.

After mapping all necessary fields, save and send a test request. Check your Zoho Desk account to confirm that the ticket has been created successfully.
