1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Shopify Integration

To receive WhatsApp alerts when a product goes out of stock in Shopify, the first step is to set up Pabbly Connect. Start by navigating to the Pabbly Connect website and signing in. If you are new to Pabbly, you can sign up for a free account quickly.

Once logged in, go to the dashboard and click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Here, you will need to name your workflow; for example, you can name it ‘Shopify to WhatsApp’. This workflow will help you integrate Shopify with WhatsApp alerts through Pabbly Connect.

2. Configuring Shopify Trigger Event in Pabbly Connect

After creating your workflow, the next step is to configure the trigger event in Pabbly Connect. In the trigger window, select ‘Shopify’ as the app and choose the event as ‘Product Updated’. This means that whenever a product’s stock is updated, it will trigger an action.

• Select Shopify as the app.
• Choose ‘Product Updated’ as the trigger event.
• Ensure all settings are correct before moving on.

Once you have configured the trigger, you will need to set up the webhook in your Shopify store. Navigate to Shopify settings, click on ‘Notifications’, and scroll down to ‘Webhooks’. Here, create a new webhook for product updates and paste the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.

3. Setting Up the Filter in Pabbly Connect

To ensure that you only receive alerts when a product goes out of stock, you need to set up a filter in Pabbly Connect. This filter will check if the inventory quantity is zero. In the action window, select ‘Filter by Pabbly’ and set the condition to check if the inventory quantity equals zero.

For this, you will map the inventory quantity from the Shopify data received by Pabbly Connect. This setup ensures that the WhatsApp alert is only triggered when the product is indeed out of stock.

4. Sending WhatsApp Alerts Using Chat API

Once the filter is set up, the next step is to send the WhatsApp alert using Chat API through Pabbly Connect. In the action window, select ‘Chat API’ and choose the action event as ‘Send Message’. You will need to connect your Chat API account by providing the API URL and token.

• Enter the API URL and token from your Chat API account.
• Specify the phone number where the alert should be sent.
• Compose the message to be sent, including product details.

After configuring these settings, you can test the integration. If everything is set up correctly, you will receive a WhatsApp message notifying you that the product is out of stock.
