Now that we have configured the trigger, it’s time to test the form submission. Click on the ‘Preview Changes’ button in Elementor to open the form in a new tab.

Fill out the form with test data, such as a demo user name, email address, and mobile number. After entering the details, click the ‘Submit’ button. This action will send the form submission data to Pabbly Connect.
