1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Email Notifications

To get a push notification when you receive an email from your boss, start by accessing Pabbly Connect. Open your browser and go to the Pabbly website, then click on the ‘Products’ section and select ‘Connect’.

Once on the Pabbly Connect dashboard, you’ll need to sign in to your account. If you don’t have an account, you can create one in just two minutes. After signing in, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to begin setting up your integration.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will create a workflow to connect Microsoft Office 365 with Twilio using Pabbly Connect. Name your workflow, for example, ‘Microsoft Office 365 to Twilio’. After naming, click on the ‘Create’ button.

This will bring up two windows: the trigger window and the action window. The trigger window is where you will set up the condition for the integration, while the action window is where you will define what happens when that condition is met.

• Click on the trigger application and select Microsoft Office 365.
• Choose the trigger event as ‘New Mail’.
• Connect your Microsoft Office 365 account to Pabbly Connect.

After connecting, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify that the integration is set correctly.

3. Setting Up Twilio for SMS Notifications

After successfully connecting Microsoft Office 365, the next step is to set up Twilio for sending SMS notifications. In the action window, select Twilio as your action application.

Choose the action event as ‘Send SMS Message’. You will need to connect your Twilio account to Pabbly Connect by providing your Account SID and Auth Token, which you can find in your Twilio account dashboard.

• Copy your Account SID from Twilio and paste it into Pabbly Connect.
• Do the same for the Auth Token.
• Map the SMS body to include a message like, ‘Hello, you have a new email from your boss’.

After filling out these details, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure everything is working as expected.

4. Adding Filters in Pabbly Connect

To ensure that you only receive notifications for emails from your boss, you need to add a filter in Pabbly Connect. This filter will specify the condition under which an SMS should be sent.

In the filter section, set the condition to check if the sender’s email address equals your boss’s email. This way, you will only receive an SMS notification when an email from your boss arrives.

Choose ‘Filter by Pabbly’. Set the condition to match your boss’s email address. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to confirm the filter works.

This filter will ensure that notifications are only sent when relevant emails are received, keeping your notifications focused and relevant.

5. Testing the Integration with Pabbly Connect

Once you have set up the workflow, it’s essential to test the entire integration process using Pabbly Connect. Send a test email from a different account to see if the SMS notification triggers correctly.

Check your Twilio account dashboard to confirm that the SMS was sent successfully. You should see the message you defined earlier in the logs. This confirms that the integration between Microsoft Office 365 and Twilio through Pabbly Connect is working as intended.

Make sure to monitor your notifications and adjust any settings in Pabbly Connect as necessary to optimize your workflow. You can revisit the workflow anytime to make changes or add additional features.

Conclusion

Using Pabbly Connect, you can easily set up a system to get a push notification when you receive an email from your boss. This integration streamlines communication and ensures you never miss an important message.
