1. Access Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start integrating BigCommerce with JotForm, you need to access Pabbly Connect. First, open your browser and navigate to the official Pabbly Connect website. If you are a new user, click on ‘Sign up for free’ to create an account and receive 100 tasks free every month. Existing users can simply click on ‘Sign in’ to access their dashboards.

Once signed in, you will see multiple applications listed. Click on ‘Access Now’ under Pabbly Connect to begin setting up your workflow. This is where you will create the automation that connects JotForm and BigCommerce seamlessly.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After accessing Pabbly Connect, the next step is to create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button, and you will be prompted to name your workflow. For this integration, name it ‘Create BigCommerce Customer on JotForm Submission’ and select a folder to save it in.

• Click on ‘Create’ to proceed.
• This opens the workflow window where you will set up triggers and actions.

In the workflow window, you will define the trigger and action for your automation. The trigger will be set to JotForm, which will initiate the workflow whenever a new form submission occurs. This setup ensures that every time a potential customer submits their details, a new customer is created in your BigCommerce account automatically.

3. Setting Up JotForm as the Trigger

To set JotForm as the trigger in Pabbly Connect, search for JotForm in the trigger application section. Select it and choose the trigger event as ‘New Response’. This event will trigger the workflow every time someone submits the JotForm.

After selecting the trigger event, you will receive a webhook URL. Copy this URL, as it will be used to connect JotForm with Pabbly Connect. Now, log into your JotForm account, open the form you want to integrate, and navigate to the settings tab.

• Go to the Integrations tab and search for ‘Webhooks’.
• Paste the copied webhook URL into the integration settings and complete the integration.

Once the integration is successful, JotForm will send the submitted data to Pabbly Connect, allowing you to capture the information for the next steps.

4. Setting Up BigCommerce as the Action

Now that you have set up JotForm as the trigger, the next step is to set BigCommerce as the action in your Pabbly Connect workflow. Search for BigCommerce in the action application section and select it. Choose the action event as ‘Create Customer’.

You will need to connect your BigCommerce account to Pabbly Connect. If you haven’t connected it before, click on ‘Add New Connection’ and enter your store hash key, client ID, and access token. You can find these details in your BigCommerce account settings under API accounts.

Copy the store hash from the URL of your BigCommerce account. Create an API account in BigCommerce to get the client ID and access token.

After entering all the required information and saving the connection, your BigCommerce account will be successfully linked to Pabbly Connect, allowing the automation to create new customers based on JotForm submissions.

5. Mapping Fields for Customer Creation

With both JotForm and BigCommerce set up, the final step is to map the fields from the JotForm submission to the corresponding fields in BigCommerce. In Pabbly Connect, you will see fields for first name, last name, email, and phone number.

Instead of manually entering these details, you will use the mapping feature to dynamically insert the data from the JotForm submission. For example, map the first name field to the first name from the JotForm response, and do the same for the last name, email, and phone number.

Ensure all required fields are mapped correctly. Click on ‘Send Test Request’ to verify if the customer is created successfully.

After testing, check your BigCommerce account to confirm that a new customer has been created with the details from the JotForm submission. This completes the automation process, allowing you to streamline customer registrations without manual effort.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can effectively use Pabbly Connect to automate the creation of new customers in BigCommerce from JotForm submissions. This integration not only saves time but also enhances the efficiency of your business operations.
