1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Integration

To create a GoToTraining registrant on Contact Form 7 submission, start by accessing Pabbly Connect. This platform enables seamless integration between various applications, including WordPress and GoToTraining.

Log into your Pabbly Connect account. If you are a new user, sign up for a free account to explore its features. Once logged in, you will see the dashboard where you can create workflows that automate your tasks.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

To automate the registration process, you need to create a new workflow in Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button in the top right corner of the dashboard.

• Name your workflow, e.g., ‘Create GoToTraining Registrant on Contact Form 7 Submission’.
• Select a folder to organize your workflows.

Once you have created the workflow, you can set up the trigger that will initiate the automation process. This step is crucial as it defines what event will trigger the workflow.

3. Setting Up the Trigger with Contact Form 7

In this step, select Pabbly Connect as the trigger application and choose ‘Contact Form 7’ as the specific trigger event. This is essential for capturing form submissions.

Once you select the trigger, Pabbly Connect will provide you with a webhook URL. Copy this URL as it will be used to connect your WordPress Contact Form 7 to the automation.

• Go to your WordPress dashboard and navigate to the Contact Form 7 settings.
• Enable the webhook by checking the option and pasting the copied URL into the appropriate field.

After saving the settings, you will be ready to test the connection between Contact Form 7 and Pabbly Connect.

4. Testing the Connection and Receiving Data

To ensure that your setup works correctly, perform a test submission on your Contact Form 7 form. Fill in the required fields with dummy data and submit the form.

After submission, check Pabbly Connect to see if it captures the response successfully. This confirms that the integration is working as expected and that your automation is set up correctly.

Ensure that the data captured includes first name, last name, email, and any other required fields. You should see a successful response indicating that the data has been received.

With this successful test, you are now ready to set up the action that will create a registrant in GoToTraining.

5. Setting Up the Action to Create a Registrant in GoToTraining

In the action step of your workflow, select Pabbly Connect again, but this time choose ‘GoToTraining’ as the application. The action event you want is ‘Create Registrant’. This step is critical as it defines what happens after a form submission.

Connect your GoToTraining account to Pabbly Connect by authorizing the application. After successful connection, select the training session you want to register users for and map the data from the previous step (form submission) to the required fields in GoToTraining.

Map the email, first name, and last name fields from the Contact Form 7 submission. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to finalize the setup.

After saving, check your GoToTraining account to confirm that the new registrant has been created successfully. This completes the integration process using Pabbly Connect.
