1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for WooCommerce and Zoho Integration

To create a Zoho item when a product is created in WooCommerce, we will use Pabbly Connect as the automation platform. Start by signing up for a free account on Pabbly Connect if you haven’t already. You can find the sign-up link in the description below. Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard and click on ‘Create Workflow.’

Next, give your workflow a name, such as ‘WooCommerce to Zoho Inventory.’ After naming your workflow, click on ‘Create’ to proceed. This will open a new workflow with two windows: the trigger window and the action window. The trigger window will capture the event of a new product being created in your WooCommerce store.

2. Configuring WooCommerce Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In the trigger window of Pabbly Connect, search for ‘WooCommerce’ and select it. For the trigger event, choose ‘Product Created’ from the dropdown menu. This setup ensures that every time a new product is added to your WooCommerce store, Pabbly Connect will receive the details.

• Select WooCommerce as the app.
• Choose ‘Product Created’ as the trigger event.
• Copy the webhook URL generated by Pabbly Connect.

After copying the webhook URL, navigate to your WooCommerce settings. Go to the ‘Advanced’ tab, then click on ‘Webhooks.’ Here, click on ‘Add Webhook’ to create a new webhook. Name it (e.g., ‘Pabbly Webhook’), set the status to ‘Active,’ and paste the copied URL into the delivery URL field. Finally, select ‘Product Created’ as the topic and click on ‘Save Webhook.’

3. Testing the WooCommerce Trigger with Pabbly Connect

Now that your webhook is set up, return to Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Recapture Webhook Response.’ This action will allow Pabbly Connect to listen for any new product data from WooCommerce. Next, go to your WooCommerce store and add a new product.

For testing, input the product name (e.g., ‘Pen’), description, price, SKU, and stock quantity. Once you’ve filled in the details, click on ‘Publish’ to add the product. After publishing, Pabbly Connect should receive the product details in the trigger window, confirming that the integration is working correctly.

4. Using Pabbly Connect to Remove HTML Tags

After receiving the product details, the next step is to clean up the data before sending it to Zoho Inventory. We will use the ‘Text Formatter’ feature in Pabbly Connect to remove any HTML tags from the product description. In the action window, search for ‘Text Formatter’ and select it.

• Choose ‘Text Formatter’ as the app.
• Select ‘Text Basic Formatting’ as the action event.
• Map the description response from WooCommerce.

In the transformation dropdown, select ‘Remove HTML Tags’ and click on ‘Save and Send Test Request.’ This will strip any HTML tags from the product description, preparing it for the next step in the integration process.

5. Creating the Item in Zoho Inventory Using Pabbly Connect

Now that we have cleaned the product description, it’s time to create the item in Zoho Inventory. In the action window, search for ‘Zoho Inventory’ and select it. For the action event, choose ‘Create Item’ and connect your Zoho Inventory account with Pabbly Connect.

During the setup, you will need to map the fields such as item name, item description, SKU, and other relevant details. Ensure that you select the correct organization in Zoho Inventory where the item will be created. After mapping all the necessary fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to create the item.

If everything is set up correctly, you should receive a positive response indicating that the item has been successfully created in Zoho Inventory. You can verify this by checking your Zoho Inventory account to see if the new item appears with the same details you entered in WooCommerce.

Conclusion

By following this detailed tutorial, you can effectively automate the process of creating Zoho items when products are created in WooCommerce using Pabbly Connect. This integration streamlines your inventory management and ensures that your product details are consistent across platforms.
