2. Setting Up the WooCommerce Trigger in Pabbly Connect
Once logged into Pabbly Connect, navigate to the workflow page where you can set up your automation. The first step involves selecting WooCommerce as your trigger application. Choose the event “New Order Created” to initiate the workflow.
- Select “WooCommerce” as the trigger application.
- Choose the event “New Order Created”.
- Click on the “Connect” button to generate a webhook URL.
Copy the generated webhook URL as it will act as a bridge between WooCommerce and Pabbly Connect. Now, move to your WooCommerce settings in your WordPress account to complete the integration.
3. Configuring the Webhook in WooCommerce
In your WordPress dashboard, navigate to WooCommerce settings and select the “Advanced” tab. Here, you will find the option for “Webhooks”. Click on “Add Webhook” to create a new webhook for your order confirmation.
- Enter a name for your webhook, like “Order Confirmation”.
- Set the status to “Active”.

After filling in the details, save the webhook. This action will link your WooCommerce store with Pabbly Connect, enabling it to receive order notifications whenever a purchase is made.
4. Setting Up WhatsApp Cloud API as Action Application
Now that the trigger is set up, it’s time to configure the action application. In Pabbly Connect, select the WhatsApp Cloud API as your action application. Choose the event “Send Text Message” to send order confirmations.
Click on the “Connect” button to establish a connection. If you have an existing connection, you can use that; otherwise, create a new one by entering your WhatsApp Cloud API details such as the token, phone number ID, and WhatsApp business account ID.
After entering these details, save the connection. You can now map the recipient’s mobile number and the message content dynamically using the data received from the WooCommerce order.
5. Sending Order Confirmation Messages via WhatsApp
With the connection established, you can now set up the message to be sent. Use the mapping feature in Pabbly Connect to insert dynamic data like order ID, customer name, and product details into your WhatsApp message.
- Map the recipient’s mobile number from the WooCommerce order details.
- Compose the message including all necessary order details.
