Watch Step By Step Video Tutorial Below

1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for SMS Automation

To start automating SMS notifications, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. Visit the official website at www.pabbly.com/connect. If you are a new user, sign up for a free account to get started with 100 free tasks each month.

Once logged in, you can explore the features of Pabbly Connect. This platform allows you to integrate various applications, including your web forms and Twilio, to send automated SMS alerts. Consider upgrading to a one-time plan for extended features and tasks.

2. Setting Up Webhook in Gravity Forms with Pabbly Connect

For this integration, we will use Gravity Forms as our web form application. In Pabbly Connect, start by creating a new workflow. Set the trigger application to “Gravity Forms” and the event to “New Response”.

Copy the provided webhook URL from Pabbly Connect.
Open your Gravity Form settings and navigate to the Webhooks plugin.
Add a new webhook, name it, and paste the copied URL.

Ensure that the method is set to POST and save the settings. This will connect your Gravity Form to Pabbly Connect, allowing for real-time data capture.

3. Testing the Webhook Integration with Pabbly Connect

After setting up the webhook, it’s time to test the integration. Go back to Pabbly Connect and click on the “Recapture” button to check for a webhook response. Submit a test entry in your Gravity Form to see if the data is captured correctly.

Fill in the fields with sample data.
Click the submit button to complete the form submission.
Check Pabbly Connect for captured data from the form.

If successful, you will see the details appear in the trigger section of Pabbly Connect, confirming your Gravity Form is now connected.

4. Sending SMS Notifications via Twilio Using Pabbly Connect

Next, we will set up Twilio as the action application in Pabbly Connect. Choose Twilio and select the event for sending SMS. Click on “Connect” and then “Add New Connection” to link your Twilio account.

To create this connection, you will need your Twilio Account SID and Authorization Token. Copy these from your Twilio dashboard and paste them into the respective fields in Pabbly Connect. After saving the connection, configure the SMS body with dynamic data from the form submission.

5. Finalizing Your Integration and Testing SMS Alerts

Once the SMS body is set, map the necessary fields such as the recipient’s phone number and sender ID. Click on “Save and Send Test Request” to check if the SMS is being sent correctly.

If everything is set up correctly, you should receive an SMS notification on your phone confirming the lead details. This demonstrates how Pabbly Connect effectively bridges the gap between your web forms and SMS notifications via Twilio.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we explored how to use Pabbly Connect to automate SMS notifications from web form submissions. By integrating Gravity Forms and Twilio, you can ensure timely communication with your leads. This setup enhances your workflow efficiency and customer engagement.
