2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard of Pabbly Connect. Here, you can create a new workflow by clicking on the ‘Create Workflow’ option. A dialog box will appear, prompting you to name your workflow. For instance, you could name it ‘Automate BigCommerce Using Pabbly Connect’.

• Select a folder for your workflow, such as ‘Automations for E-commerce Store’.
• Click on ‘Create’ to proceed to the workflow setup screen.

In this new screen, you will see two main sections: Trigger and Action. The trigger specifies the event that starts the automation, while the action defines what happens as a result. For this tutorial, we will set BigCommerce as the trigger application.

3. Setting Up Trigger for New Orders in BigCommerce

To set up the trigger in Pabbly Connect, select BigCommerce as your trigger application. You will then need to choose the trigger event. For our example, select ‘New Order Created’. This means that whenever a new order is placed, the workflow will activate.

Next, click on ‘Connect’ to establish the connection. You will need to provide your BigCommerce Client ID, Access Token, and Store Hash Key. These details can be obtained from your BigCommerce account under Advanced Settings > API Accounts.

• Log into your BigCommerce account and create a new API account.
• Set permissions for the API account according to the instructions provided in Pabbly Connect.
• Copy the Client ID and Access Token into Pabbly Connect.

Once you have entered these details, click on ‘Save’ to establish the connection between BigCommerce and Pabbly Connect.

4. Testing Your Connection and Capturing Order Details

After successfully connecting BigCommerce to Pabbly Connect, it’s time to test the connection. To do this, you need to place a test order in your BigCommerce store. This will allow Pabbly Connect to capture the response from the order.

Navigate to your BigCommerce store, add a product to the cart, and proceed to checkout. Fill in the required customer details and place the order. Once the order is placed, return to Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’.

Verify that the response includes order details such as Order ID, Customer Information, and Payment Details. If the response is successful, you can proceed to set up the action step.

This confirms that your connection is working correctly and that Pabbly Connect is successfully capturing order details from BigCommerce.

5. Setting Up Action Step to Create Products in BigCommerce

In this section, you will learn how to set up an action step in Pabbly Connect to create a product in BigCommerce whenever a new row is added to Google Sheets. Start by selecting Google Sheets as your trigger application.

After capturing the response from Google Sheets, you will set BigCommerce as your action application. Choose the action event ‘Create Product’. You will then need to connect to BigCommerce using the same Client ID, Access Token, and Store Hash Key as before.

Map the product details from Google Sheets, including Product Name, SKU, Price, and Description. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to create the product in BigCommerce.

Once the product is successfully created, you will see a confirmation response in Pabbly Connect. You can then check your BigCommerce account to ensure the product has been added successfully.
