Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To begin, you need to access Pabbly Connect. This platform allows seamless integration between various applications, such as Wix and Slack. Start by visiting the Pabbly Connect website and signing in using your credentials.

Once logged in, you will see options for creating a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to initiate the process of connecting Wix Forms with Slack. This setup will ensure that your team receives instant notifications for every new travel inquiry submitted through your Wix forms.

Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After accessing Pabbly Connect, you will be prompted to name your workflow. For this integration, name it something relevant, like ‘Notify Team on Slack for Wix Form Submission’. Choose a folder to save your workflow, then click on ‘Create’. This action opens the workflow window where you will set up triggers and actions.

In this window, you will select Wix Forms as your trigger application. The trigger event should be set to ‘New Form Submission’. This event indicates that whenever a new travel inquiry is submitted, it will trigger the workflow. After selecting the trigger event, a webhook URL will be generated. This URL is crucial as it will connect your Wix Forms account to Pabbly Connect.

• Select Wix Forms as the trigger application.
• Choose ‘New Form Submission’ as the trigger event.
• Copy the generated webhook URL for later use.

With the webhook URL copied, you can now proceed to your Wix account to set up the automation that will send data to Pabbly Connect.

Setting Up Wix Forms for Webhook Integration

Now, navigate to your Wix account to set up the automation. In your Wix dashboard, go to the ‘Automations’ section. Click on ‘Add New Automation’ to create a new automation process. Choose to start from scratch, and select Wix Forms as your trigger again, specifying the form that will initiate this automation.

After selecting the specific form, you will need to set the action for this automation. Choose ‘Send via Webhook’ as the action type. Here, paste the webhook URL you copied from Pabbly Connect. This step ensures that whenever a form is submitted, the data is sent directly to your Pabbly Connect workflow.

• Navigate to Wix Automations and click ‘Add New Automation’.
• Select the form that triggers the automation.
• Set the action to ‘Send via Webhook’ and paste the copied URL.

After saving the automation, you will need to perform a test submission to ensure that the data flows correctly from Wix Forms to Pabbly Connect.

Testing the Integration Between Wix Forms and Slack

To test the integration, submit a test inquiry through your Wix form. Fill out the form with dummy data, including the first name, email, phone number, city, and travel dates. Once submitted, this information should automatically be sent to Pabbly Connect via the webhook.

After submission, go back to your Pabbly Connect dashboard to verify that the response has been captured. You should see all the details from your test submission, confirming that the connection is working as intended. This successful capture indicates that your workflow is now ready to send notifications.

Submit a test inquiry through your Wix form. Check your Pabbly Connect dashboard for captured data. Ensure the workflow is ready to send notifications.

With the test submission successfully captured, you can now proceed to set up the action that will notify your team on Slack.

Notifying Your Team on Slack Using Pabbly Connect

For the final step, return to your Pabbly Connect workflow and set Slack as the action application. Choose the action event as ‘Send Channel Message’. This action allows you to notify your team whenever a new inquiry is received. Click on ‘Connect’ to link your Slack account with Pabbly Connect.

You will need to authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Slack account. After the connection is established, select the channel where you want to send notifications, such as ‘New Leads’. Lastly, customize the message to include details from the form submission, ensuring your team receives all necessary information about the new inquiry.

Select Slack as the action application. Choose ‘Send Channel Message’ as the action event. Authorize the connection and select your notification channel.

Once you have mapped the necessary fields and saved your workflow, you will be ready to automate notifications for travel inquiries received through your Wix forms.
