• Select the folder where you want to save this workflow.
• Click on ‘Create’ to proceed to the next step.

Now, you will see two windows: one for the trigger and one for the action. Select ‘Elementor’ as your trigger application and choose ‘New Form Submission’ as the trigger event. This setup means that whenever a new form is submitted in Elementor, it will trigger the workflow.

3. Setting Up Elementor for Form Submission

Next, you need to set up the Elementor form on your WordPress website. Navigate to the Elementor section in your WordPress dashboard. Here, you can create a new form or edit an existing one. Ensure that the form includes necessary fields such as Name, Email, and Phone Number.

After creating the form, go to the ‘Actions After Submit’ section and select ‘Webhook’. This is where you will paste the webhook URL generated by Pabbly Connect. Click on the plus icon to add the webhook action, paste the URL, and then click ‘Publish’ to make your form live.

4. Testing the Webhook Integration

Once the Elementor form is set up, it’s time to test the webhook integration. Go back to Pabbly Connect, where it should show ‘Waiting for Webhook Response’. Now, submit the form using dummy details to generate a test submission.

• Enter the name, email, and phone number in the form.
• Click on ‘Submit’ to send the form data.

After submission, check Pabbly Connect for the response. If successful, it will display the details of the form submission. This confirms that the integration between Elementor and Pabbly Connect is working correctly.

5. Connecting Twilio for SMS Notifications

The final step is to connect Twilio to send SMS notifications. In Pabbly Connect, select Twilio as the action application and choose ‘Send SMS Message’ as the action event. You will need to connect your Twilio account by entering your Account SID and Auth Token.

Once connected, you can set up the SMS body, sender number, and recipient number. For the SMS body, you might write something like: ‘Hello, a new lead is received through form submission. Here are the details: [Name], [Email], [Phone]’. Make sure to map the fields correctly from the Elementor form submission.

After entering all the necessary details, click on ‘Save and send test request’. If the SMS is sent successfully, you will receive a confirmation message, indicating that your workflow is complete and ready to notify you via SMS whenever a new form is submitted in Elementor.
