Once your workflow is created, you will be directed to the workflow window, which is essential for setting up triggers and actions. Here, you will select WooCommerce as the trigger application.

3. Setting Up WooCommerce Trigger in Pabbly Connect

To set up the trigger in Pabbly Connect, select WooCommerce from the list of applications. The trigger event should be set to ‘New Order Created’ to ensure that the workflow activates whenever a new order is placed in your WooCommerce store.

After selecting the trigger event, you will receive a webhook URL. Copy this URL as it will be used to connect your WooCommerce account with Pabbly Connect. You will then log into your WordPress admin panel to set up the webhook in WooCommerce.

• Navigate to WooCommerce settings in WordPress.
• Click on ‘Advanced’ and then ‘Webhooks.’
• Create a new webhook by clicking ‘Add Webhook.’

Fill in the required details for the webhook, including the name, status (set to active), and the delivery URL you copied earlier. Set the topic to ‘Order Created’ and save the webhook to establish the connection.

4. Capturing WooCommerce Response in Pabbly Connect

After saving the webhook, return to Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Recapture Webhook Response.’ This step is crucial as it allows Pabbly Connect to capture the details of the new order placed in WooCommerce.

To test the integration, go back to your WooCommerce store, select a product, and complete the checkout process. Once the order is placed, return to Pabbly Connect to see if the response has been captured successfully.

Place a test order in WooCommerce. Check Pabbly Connect for the captured order details. Ensure all necessary information is displayed correctly.

If successful, you will see the order details, including customer name, products ordered, and shipping address, confirming that the integration is working correctly.

Now, it’s time to set up the action step in Pabbly Connect to send notifications to Slack. Select Slack as your action application and choose the action event ‘Send Channel Message.’ This will allow you to notify your team whenever a new order is placed.

To connect Slack, click on ‘Connect’ and either select an existing connection or create a new one. If creating a new connection, follow the prompts to authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Slack account.

Choose the Slack channel where notifications will be sent. Map the necessary fields from the WooCommerce response to the message. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to finalize the setup.

After sending the test request, check your Slack channel for the notification. You should see a message containing the order details, confirming that the integration via Pabbly Connect is successful.
