Understanding Webhooks and Pabbly Connect

To start setting up a webhook inside Dashly, it’s essential to understand how Pabbly Connect works as the integration platform. Pabbly Connect facilitates seamless data transfer between Dashly and other applications whenever a specific event occurs.

A webhook acts as a bridge that allows different applications to communicate. In this case, we will use Pabbly Connect to automate the data transfer from Dashly to other applications like Google Sheets or Slack. By using Pabbly Connect, you can ensure that the data is transferred automatically without manual intervention.

Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Dashly Integration

First, log in to your Pabbly Connect account. Once logged in, you will see two main sections: Trigger and Action. The Trigger indicates what event will start the automation, while the Action defines what happens as a response to that trigger.

For our integration, we will set Dashly as the trigger application. Follow these steps to set it up:

• Select Dashly as the trigger application.
• Choose the trigger event, such as ‘User started a chat conversation.’
• Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.

After copying the webhook URL, you will need to integrate it into your Dashly account. This integration allows Dashly to send data to Pabbly Connect whenever a user starts a chat.

Integrating Webhook in Dashly

Now that you have your webhook URL from Pabbly Connect, log into your Dashly account. Navigate to the integration section and scroll down to find the webhook option.

To create the webhook integration, follow these steps:

• Click on the ‘Create Integration’ button.
• Paste the copied webhook URL into the designated field.
• Select the same trigger event as in Pabbly Connect, such as ‘User started a chat conversation.’
• Name your integration (e.g., ‘New Message Received’) and save the integration.

After saving, you will see the newly created webhook listed in your Dashly account, indicating that it is active.

Testing the Webhook Connection

With the webhook successfully integrated into Dashly, it’s time to test the connection using Pabbly Connect. Go back to your Pabbly Connect dashboard, where it should indicate that it is waiting for a webhook response.

To test the integration, perform the following steps:

Open Dashly in incognito mode to simulate a user. Send a test message (e.g., ‘This is a test message’).

Once the message is sent, return to Pabbly Connect. You should see the details of the message captured, confirming that the connection is successful. This includes the user ID, the message content, and the timestamp.

Automating Further Actions with Pabbly Connect

After successfully testing the webhook connection, you can enhance your automation by adding further actions in Pabbly Connect. For instance, you can send the captured message details to Google Sheets or notify your team via Slack or Discord.

To set this up, simply add the desired application as an Action step in Pabbly Connect. For example:

Select Google Sheets as the action application. Choose the action event, such as ‘Add Row.’

By doing so, every time a message is received in Dashly, it will automatically be logged in Google Sheets, ensuring you have a record of all interactions without manual effort. This integration showcases the power of Pabbly Connect in automating workflows.

Conclusion

In conclusion, setting up a webhook inside Dashly using Pabbly Connect allows for seamless data integration and automation. By following the steps outlined, you can efficiently capture messages and automate further actions across various applications.
