1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for WooCommerce and Thinkific Integration

To automate course enrollment in Thinkific using Pabbly Connect, start by accessing your Pabbly Connect dashboard. This integration will help you register users automatically whenever they purchase a course from your WooCommerce store.

Begin by creating a workflow in Pabbly Connect. Click on the blue ‘Create Workflow’ button and name your workflow, such as ‘Enroll User to Thinkific Course for WooCommerce Orders Automatically’. Once created, you will see two boxes for trigger and action.

2. Connecting WooCommerce to Pabbly Connect

In this section, we will connect WooCommerce to Pabbly Connect to capture new orders. Select WooCommerce as your trigger application and set the trigger event to ‘New Order Created’. This ensures that every time a new order is placed, the automation will be triggered.

• Select WooCommerce as the trigger application.
• Set the trigger event to ‘New Order Created’.
• Copy the provided webhook URL from Pabbly Connect.
• Navigate to WooCommerce settings and add the webhook URL.

After adding the webhook, click on the ‘Save Webhook’ button in WooCommerce. This will establish a connection between WooCommerce and Pabbly Connect, allowing order data to be captured automatically.

3. Setting Up User Registration in Thinkific

Next, you need to set up user registration in Thinkific via Pabbly Connect. After capturing the order data, the next step is to check if the user already exists in Thinkific. For this, select Thinkific as your action application and set the action event to ‘Search User’.

Map the email address from the WooCommerce order to the search criteria in Thinkific. This allows Pabbly Connect to determine if the user is already registered. If the user exists, proceed to enroll them in the course; if not, create a new user.

• Select Thinkific as the action application.
• Set the action event to ‘Search User’.
• Map the email address from WooCommerce to the search query.

Once the user is verified, you can decide the next steps based on whether they already have an account or not, using the powerful routing feature of Pabbly Connect.

4. Enrolling Users in the Course Automatically

After checking user existence, the next step in Pabbly Connect is to enroll the user in the Thinkific course. If the user exists, select the ‘Enroll User’ action event in Thinkific. Map the user ID from the search results to ensure the correct user is enrolled.

If the user does not exist, the workflow should create a new user in Thinkific first. For this, set the action event to ‘Create User’ and map the necessary fields such as first name, last name, and email address from the WooCommerce order data.

If user exists, enroll them in the course using ‘Enroll User’ action. If user does not exist, create a user with the ‘Create User’ action. Map user details from the WooCommerce order.

This setup ensures that every time a new order is placed, users are either registered or enrolled in the course automatically, streamlining the entire process through Pabbly Connect.

5. Testing the Automation Workflow

Finally, it’s essential to test your automation workflow in Pabbly Connect. Create a test order in WooCommerce and check if the user is properly registered and enrolled in Thinkific. This will confirm that your integration is functioning as expected.

Monitor the responses in Pabbly Connect to verify that the correct data is being captured and that users are being enrolled appropriately. Adjust any mappings or settings as necessary based on the test results.

By following these steps, you can effectively automate the enrollment process for your courses using Pabbly Connect and WooCommerce, saving time and enhancing user experience.
