1. Introduction to Pabbly Connect for Shopify and Slack Integration

To stay updated on every Shopify sale, you can utilize Pabbly Connect. This platform allows you to automate notifications to your Slack channel every time a new order is placed on your Shopify store. This tutorial will guide you through the steps to set up this integration.

First, you need to access Pabbly Connect. Visit the Pabbly website by typing pabyt.com in your browser. If you are a new user, sign up for a free account to get 100 tasks monthly. Existing users can simply sign in. Once you are in, you can create a workflow that connects Shopify and Slack through Pabbly Connect.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After signing in, navigate to the Pabbly Connect dashboard where you can create a new workflow. Click on the Pabbly Connect icon and select ‘Create from Scratch’. Name your workflow “Stay Updated on Every Shopify Sale with Slack” and select a folder to save it in.

  • Click on the plus icon to create a new folder if needed.
  • Select the folder where your workflow will be saved.
  • Click on ‘Create’ to finalize your workflow setup.

Your workflow is now created. The next step is to set up the trigger application, which will be Shopify in this case. Select Shopify as your trigger application and proceed to set the trigger event to “New Order”.

3. Connecting Shopify to Pabbly Connect

To connect Shopify to Pabbly Connect, you will need a webhook URL. Once you select “New Order” as the trigger event, click on connect. A webhook URL will be generated, which acts as a bridge between Shopify and Pabbly Connect.

Next, log into your Shopify account and navigate to Settings > Notifications. Here, you will find the option to create a webhook. Click on Create Webhook and fill in the following details:

  • Event: Order Creation
  • Format: JSON
  • URL: Paste your webhook URL here

After filling in these details, click Save. Your webhook is now set up, and you can return to Pabbly Connect to test the connection.

4. Testing the Integration Between Shopify and Slack

To test your integration, you need to perform a test order on your Shopify store. Go to your online store and simulate a purchase by selecting a product, entering dummy details, and completing the checkout process. This will trigger the webhook and send the order information to Pabbly Connect.

Once the order is placed, return to Pabbly Connect and check for the webhook response. You should see the order details captured in your workflow. This confirms that the connection is working correctly.

After confirming the webhook response, the next step is to set up the action application, which will be Slack. Choose Slack as your action application and select the action event as “Send Channel Message”. Click on connect, and if prompted, allow Pabbly Connect to access your Slack account.

5. Sending Notifications to Slack Using Pabbly Connect

With your Slack connected, you can now configure the message that will be sent to your team. Select the Slack channel where you want to send notifications, and enter a message template. For example, you might write: “Hello team, we have received a new order on Shopify.”

Map the necessary fields from the webhook response to include essential order details in your message. This should include:

  • Customer Name
  • Email Address
  • Phone Number
  • Product Name
  • Product Price

Once you have mapped all the details, hit Save and Send Test Request. Check your Slack channel to confirm that the notification has been sent successfully. This completes the integration process.
