1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start integrating your applications, first, access Pabbly Connect by visiting its website. Sign in to your account or create a new one if you’re a first-time user. Pabbly Connect allows you to automate tasks without any coding skills.

Once signed in, you will see the dashboard that houses various applications. From here, you can select Pabbly Connect to begin creating your automation workflows. This platform simplifies the process of connecting different applications, ensuring seamless data transfer.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After accessing Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located in the top right corner. A dialog box will appear, prompting you to name your workflow. For this tutorial, name it ‘Get Real-Time SMS Alerts on Webhook Response’.

• Select a folder for your workflow.
• Choose the appropriate folder, like ‘SMS Automations’.
• Click on ‘Create’ to finalize your workflow setup.

Upon creation, you’ll see two windows: one for the trigger and another for the action. The trigger is the event that starts the automation, while the action is what happens as a result. In this case, the trigger will be ‘Webhook by Pabbly’.

3. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

For the trigger application, select ‘Webhook by Pabbly’. This allows you to catch responses from your form submissions. After selecting the trigger, choose the event as ‘Catch Webhook’. Pabbly Connect will provide you with a unique webhook URL.

Copy this webhook URL as you will need it to connect with your form. The next step involves setting up your form created with Elementor to send data to this webhook. This integration ensures that every form submission is captured by Pabbly Connect.

• Access your Elementor form settings.
• Add the webhook URL under ‘Actions After Submit’.
• Update the form to save changes.

Once the webhook is added, you can test the integration by submitting the form. This will trigger the webhook, and Pabbly Connect will capture the response, ready for the next action.

4. Setting Up the Action in Pabbly Connect

Now that the webhook is set up, it’s time to configure the action. Select ‘Twilio’ as the action application in Pabbly Connect. This will allow you to send SMS notifications based on the captured webhook response. Choose the action event as ‘Send SMS Message’.

To connect Twilio to Pabbly Connect, you will need your Twilio Account SID and Auth Token. These credentials can be found in your Twilio account dashboard. Input these details into Pabbly Connect to establish the connection.

Enter the body of the SMS message. Map the data fields from the webhook response to personalize the SMS. Specify the sender and recipient numbers for the SMS.

After configuring the SMS details, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify that the SMS is sent successfully. This completes the setup, allowing you to receive real-time SMS alerts through Pabbly Connect.

5. Testing the Integration with Pabbly Connect

With the workflow set up, it’s crucial to test the integration. Submit a test entry using your Elementor form. Once the form is submitted, Pabbly Connect will catch the webhook response and trigger the Twilio action to send an SMS.

Check your mobile device to confirm that the SMS notification has been received. The message should include the details of the customer who submitted the form, demonstrating that the integration is working correctly. This step is essential to ensure that your automation is functioning as intended.

Verify the SMS content matches the expected format. Repeat the test with different data to ensure reliability. Adjust any settings in Pabbly Connect if necessary.

By successfully testing the integration, you can be confident that Pabbly Connect is effectively automating your SMS alerts for new customer form submissions.
