After naming your workflow, you will need to set up a trigger. Choose Webflow as your trigger application and select ‘Form Submitted’ as the trigger event. This ensures that the workflow is activated whenever a new form submission occurs.

3. Connecting Webflow to Pabbly Connect

In this step, we will establish a connection between Webflow and Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Connect’ button to create a new connection. You will need to enter your Webflow API token, which can be generated from your Webflow account settings.

Once you have the API token, paste it into Pabbly Connect and save the connection. Next, select the site ID for the Webflow site you are using for this integration. This configuration allows Pabbly Connect to capture the form submission data accurately.

After successfully connecting Webflow to Pabbly Connect, the next step is to create an invoice in Zoho Books. For this, add an action step and select Zoho Books as the action application. Choose ‘Create Sales Invoice’ as the action event.

Connect your Zoho Books account to Pabbly Connect by clicking the ‘Connect’ button. You will need to provide your Zoho Books domain name and authorize the connection. After connecting, select the organization where you want to create the invoice.

• Map the customer ID from the previous action step.
• Fill in the invoice details such as item name, rate, and quantity.

Once all required fields are mapped and filled, save the action step. This will ensure that an invoice is generated automatically each time a new order is submitted through your Webflow form.

5. Testing the Integration and Finalizing Setup

Now that the integration is set up, it’s time to test it. Perform a test submission on your Webflow form with dummy data. After submitting the form, check your Zoho Books account to verify that the invoice has been created successfully.

In Pabbly Connect, you should see a successful response indicating that the invoice creation was triggered by the form submission. This confirms that your integration is functioning correctly, allowing you to automate the invoice creation process efficiently.

With this setup, you can focus on managing your business while Pabbly Connect handles the automation of invoice generation, ensuring timely and accurate billing for your customers.
