1. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

To start integrating applications using Pabbly Connect, you first need to create a new workflow. This is done by logging into your Pabbly Connect account and selecting the option to create a new workflow.

When prompted, name your workflow appropriately, such as ‘API Module Demo’. This name reflects the purpose of your integration, which is to demonstrate how to use the API module in Pabbly Connect.

2. Capturing Data with Webhook in Pabbly Connect

Next, you will capture data using a webhook. This is essential for getting data into Pabbly Connect from your external application. You will need to copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect and use it in your external application.

• Access your external application and set up the webhook using the copied URL.
• Trigger an event in the external application to send data to this webhook.
• Once the event occurs, data will be captured in Pabbly Connect.

After capturing the data, you can proceed to send this data to other applications using Pabbly Connect workflows.

3. Sending Data to an External API Using Pabbly Connect

With the data captured, the next step is to send this data to an external API to fetch specific information, such as weather data. You will use the API module in Pabbly Connect for this purpose.

Choose the API module and set the action event to ‘GET’ to retrieve data from the API. You will need to specify the endpoint URL and any required parameters, including the zip code that was captured from the webhook.

• Enter the endpoint URL for the weather API.
• Add necessary header parameters, including API keys.
• Map the zip code parameter to the captured data from the webhook.

Once you have configured these settings, you can test the API request to ensure that it is working correctly. This is a critical step in the integration process using Pabbly Connect.

4. Sending Email Notifications Using Gmail in Pabbly Connect

After successfully retrieving data from the external API, you can send this information via email. This can be done by adding a Gmail integration in Pabbly Connect.

To set this up, connect your Gmail account and specify the recipient’s email address, which was captured earlier. In the email body, include the weather data retrieved from the API.

For example, set the subject as ‘Weather Forecast for [City Name]’ and include details such as temperature and weather conditions in the email body. This allows you to notify users about the weather based on their inquiry.
