1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for WooCommerce and Microsoft Excel

To start integrating WooCommerce product reviews into Microsoft Excel using Pabbly Connect, first, log into your Pabbly Connect account. This platform allows you to automate workflows between various applications seamlessly. Once logged in, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to begin.

After clicking ‘Create Workflow’, name your workflow something like ‘Add New WooCommerce Product Reviews to Excel Sheet’. This title helps identify the purpose of the automation. The dashboard will now display the Trigger and Action modules necessary for setting up your integration.

2. Triggering New WooCommerce Product Reviews

In this step, you will set WooCommerce as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Choose the event ‘New Product Review’ as the trigger. This means that every time a customer leaves a review on a product, it will initiate the workflow.

• Connect your WooCommerce account by clicking on the ‘Connect’ button.
• Enter your Consumer Key, Consumer Secret, and Website URL.
• Generate these keys from your WooCommerce settings under Advanced > REST API.

Once connected, select the specific product for which you want to track reviews. Ensure that you filter to only approved reviews to maintain data quality. After setting up the trigger, you can test it to confirm that Pabbly Connect is receiving the correct data from WooCommerce.

3. Formatting Reviews Before Adding to Excel

After the trigger is set, the next step is to format the review data before it is sent to Microsoft Excel. This is crucial because WooCommerce sends reviews in HTML format, which may not be suitable for Excel. Use the Text Formatter feature in Pabbly Connect to clean up the review text.

• Choose ‘Text Formatter’ and select the option ‘Text Parser’.
• Map the review text to extract the relevant information without HTML tags.
• Test the formatting to ensure it outputs plain text.

This step ensures that the reviews are clean and ready to be added to your Excel sheet. After formatting, you can move on to the final step of adding the data to Microsoft Excel.

4. Adding Reviews to Microsoft Excel

In this step, you will set Microsoft Excel as the action application in Pabbly Connect. Choose the action event ‘Add Row to Worksheet’. This action will take the formatted review data and insert it into a designated worksheet in Excel.

Connect your Microsoft Excel account by clicking the connect button and grant the necessary permissions. Once connected, select the workbook and worksheet where you want to save the reviews. Ensure that the column names in your Excel sheet match the data you are sending from WooCommerce, such as Product Name, Rating, Review, and Product ID.

Map the data from the previous steps to the respective columns in Excel. After mapping, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. If everything is set up correctly, the data will be successfully added to your Excel sheet, confirming that your automation is working smoothly.
