To manually add a date in a workflow using Pabbly Connect, first, access your Pabbly Connect account. This platform is essential for integrating applications like Digistore24 and Google Sheets.

Once logged in, click on the big blue button labeled ‘Create Workflow’. Name your workflow something descriptive, like ‘ADD date manually in the workflow’. This initial setup is crucial as it prepares you for the next steps in your automation.

2. Configuring the Trigger Event with Digistore24

In this section, we will set up the trigger event using Pabbly Connect. Select Digistore24 as your trigger application. The event type should be ‘New Order’ which triggers whenever a new order is placed.

• Select Digistore24 as your application.
• Choose ‘New Order’ as the trigger event.
• Copy the provided webhook URL for integration.

After selecting the trigger, you will connect it to Pabbly Connect using the webhook URL. Log into your Digistore24 account, navigate to settings, and add a new connection under integrations. Paste the copied URL into the designated field to complete this step.

3. Testing the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

Once the trigger is configured, it’s time to test the connection using Pabbly Connect. Go back to your Digistore24 dashboard and simulate a test purchase. This action will send data back to Pabbly Connect, allowing you to verify that the integration works correctly.

• Fill in customer details such as name, email, and zip code.
• Select the test payment option to complete the purchase.
• Return to Pabbly Connect to check the webhook response.

After a few moments, you will see that Pabbly Connect has received the order details, including customer information and product data. However, the order date is not included, which is where the next step comes in.

4. Adding Date Using Date Time Formatter

To add the missing date, use the Date Time Formatter feature in Pabbly Connect. This feature allows you to format the current date as needed. Choose the option for ‘Current Date’ to capture the date of the order.

Next, configure the date format according to your requirements. You can select various formats, such as day/month/year. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to generate the current date, which will be used in the next steps.

5. Finalizing Integration with Google Sheets

Now that the date is added, it’s time to finalize the integration with Google Sheets using Pabbly Connect. Add Google Sheets as your action application and select the event ‘Add New Row’ to store the order data.

Connect your Google account, allowing Pabbly Connect to add rows to your specified spreadsheet. Map the fields from the Digistore24 response, including the product name, ID, customer details, and the newly added order date. Ensure all fields are correctly mapped before proceeding.

Once everything is set, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to confirm that the data is properly added to your Google Sheets. You should see all the relevant order information, including the date, successfully recorded.

Conclusion
