2. Setting the Trigger for WooCommerce Orders in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will set up the trigger in Pabbly Connect to capture new WooCommerce orders. Select WooCommerce as the trigger application and choose the event ‘New Order.’ After selecting the trigger event, Pabbly Connect will provide you with a webhook URL and instructions.

• Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.

• Select the ‘Advanced’ tab and then click on ‘Webhooks’.

This will establish a successful connection between WooCommerce and Pabbly Connect.

After successfully setting up the webhook, it’s time to test the trigger in Pabbly Connect. Go back to the dashboard of Pabbly Connect and click on the ‘Recapture Webhook Response’ button. This action will prompt you to create a test order in your WooCommerce store.

To create a test order, navigate to your WooCommerce checkout page and fill in the required details, such as first name, last name, and email address. Once you click on the ‘Place Order’ button, Pabbly Connect will capture the order details in real-time. Check the Pabbly Connect dashboard to see if the order details have been successfully received.

Upon receiving the order details, you will see all relevant information, such as product name, price, and customer details. This confirms that the trigger setup is working correctly. Now, you can proceed to set up the action to send this data to Microsoft Power BI.

The next step is to set up the action in Pabbly Connect to send the captured order data to Microsoft Power BI. Select Microsoft Power BI as the action application and choose the event ‘Add Rows in Specific Dataset in Group.’ You will need to connect your Microsoft Power BI account to Pabbly Connect by providing access permissions.

After connecting, you will see a list of available datasets in your Microsoft Power BI account. Choose the dataset where you want to add the WooCommerce order data. If you haven’t created a dataset yet, you can do so by selecting ‘Streaming Dataset’ in Power BI and defining the necessary fields, such as customer name, email, order ID, and product details.

• Create a new dataset in Power BI with relevant fields.
• Ensure to include fields like product name, price, and customer details.

Once the dataset is selected in Pabbly Connect, you can map the fields from the WooCommerce order details to the corresponding fields in Power BI. This mapping ensures that the correct data is sent to Power BI automatically whenever a new order is placed.
