The first step in your workflow is to set up a trigger. For this integration, select Shopify as your trigger application. Then, choose the ‘New Order’ event to capture new orders as they come in.

After selecting the event, Pabbly Connect will provide you with a webhook URL. Copy this URL as it will be used in your Shopify settings to send order data to Pabbly Connect.

Now that you have the webhook URL from Pabbly Connect, log in to your Shopify account. Navigate to the ‘Settings’ section and select ‘Notifications’. Here, you will create a new webhook.

• Choose the event type as ‘Order Creation’.
• Select the format as JSON.
• Paste the copied webhook URL into the URL field.

After saving the webhook, you will receive a confirmation that the webhook has been created successfully. This means your Shopify store is now connected to Pabbly Connect and ready to send order alerts.

5. Testing the Integration with Pabbly Connect

To ensure everything is working correctly, place a test order in your Shopify store. This will trigger the webhook and send data to Pabbly Connect.

After placing the order, return to Pabbly Connect to check for the incoming data. You should see the order details captured successfully. This confirms that the integration is functioning as intended.

Finally, set up the action step in your workflow to send notifications via your preferred communication platform, such as Slack. This allows your team to receive instant alerts about new orders in real-time.
