2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After logging into Pabbly Connect, click on ‘Create Workflow’ at the top right corner. Name your workflow ‘BigCommerce to Gmail’ and hit ‘Create’.

This opens the trigger window. Select ‘BigCommerce’ as the app and choose ‘New Order Created’ as the trigger event. This means that every time a new order is made in BigCommerce, it will trigger an action in Pabbly Connect.

• Click on ‘Connect with BigCommerce’.
• Fill in the required credentials: Client ID, Access Token, and Store Hash Key.
• Click on ‘Save’ to integrate BigCommerce with Pabbly Connect.

After saving, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure the connection is successful. This sets up the initial trigger for your workflow.

3. Capturing Order Data from BigCommerce

To capture the data from BigCommerce, click on ‘Capture Webhook Response’ in Pabbly Connect. This will allow you to receive the order details when a new order is created.

Next, go to your BigCommerce account and create a dummy order. After placing the order, return to Pabbly Connect to see if the data has been captured successfully. You should see details like the customer’s name and email.

• Ensure you have the customer’s email and name for the email notification.
• Check the API response for confirmation that the data was captured.

Once you confirm the data is captured, you can proceed to set up the action step to send an email via Gmail.

4. Sending Email via Gmail

In this step, you will configure Gmail to send an email notification. Click on the plus button to add a new action in Pabbly Connect and select Gmail as the app.

Choose ‘Send Email’ as the action event. Connect your Gmail account and authorize Pabbly Connect to access it. After successful authorization, you will need to fill in the email details such as recipient name, email, subject, and body.

Map the recipient name and email using the captured data from BigCommerce. Set a subject that reflects the purchase confirmation. Compose the email body to include order details.

After filling in all the required information, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will send a test email to the customer confirming their order.

5. Verifying the Integration Works

To ensure everything is functioning correctly, create another dummy order in BigCommerce. Check the designated Gmail account to see if the order confirmation email is received.

If you receive the email, congratulations! You have successfully integrated BigCommerce with Gmail using Pabbly Connect. This integration will automatically send an email notification for every new order placed.

In case you encounter any issues, revisit the steps in Pabbly Connect to ensure all configurations are correct. You can also reach out to Pabbly support for assistance.
