Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located at the top right corner. A dialog box will prompt you to name your workflow. For this integration, name it ‘Add Webinar Kit Registrant via Webhook, Create Active Campaign Contact, and Send SMS Alert’. Select a folder to save your workflow and then click ‘Create’ to proceed.

Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will set up the trigger for your workflow using Pabbly Connect. The trigger will be set to capture the form submissions from your webinar registration form. Select ‘Webhook by Pabbly’ as your trigger application.

Next, choose the trigger event as ‘Catch Webhook’. Pabbly Connect will generate a unique webhook URL. Copy this URL, as it will be used to connect your form application with Pabbly Connect. Go to the form application where you created your registration form and locate the integration settings.

• Access the integration settings of your form application.
• Paste the copied webhook URL into the designated field.
• Save the changes to establish the connection.

After saving, you can perform a test submission of the form to ensure that the webhook is capturing the data correctly in Pabbly Connect. This confirms that the trigger setup is successful.

Setting Up Actions in Pabbly Connect

Once the trigger is set up, the next step involves configuring actions in Pabbly Connect. The first action will be to add the registrant to your Webinar Kit account. Select ‘Webinar Kit’ as your action application and choose the action event as ‘New Webinar Registration’.

Connect your Webinar Kit account by clicking on the ‘Connect’ button. You will need to provide the API token from your Webinar Kit account to establish this connection. After connecting, select the specific webinar you want to register participants for from the dropdown menu.

• Map the email address, first name, and last name fields from the previous webhook response.
• Ensure the data is dynamically mapped to update with each new registration.
• Save the action setup to finalize this step.

Finally, test this action by submitting a new form entry and checking your Webinar Kit account for the new registration. This confirms that the action setup is working correctly within Pabbly Connect.

Sending SMS Alerts with Pabbly Connect

After successfully adding the registrant to your Webinar Kit, the next action is to send an SMS alert using Pabbly Connect. Select ‘Twilio’ as your action application, and choose the action event ‘Send SMS Message’.

Connect your Twilio account by entering the Account SID and Authorization Token. These credentials can be found in your Twilio account dashboard. After connecting, you will need to specify the SMS body, sender number, and recipient number.

Craft the SMS message to include the registrant’s name and webinar details. Map the recipient number from the webhook response to ensure the message is sent to the right person. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify that the SMS is sent successfully.

Check your mobile device for the SMS to confirm that the message was dispatched properly, showcasing how effectively Pabbly Connect automates your workflow.
