In the workflow window, you will see two boxes labeled Trigger and Action. The Trigger is the event that starts the workflow, while the Action is what happens as a result. For this integration, you will set Zoho Forms as the Trigger application.

3. Setting Up the Trigger with Zoho Forms

To set up your Trigger in Pabbly Connect, search for Zoho Forms in the trigger application field. Once selected, you will need to specify the Trigger Event. Choose ‘New Form Submitted’ as your event. This means every time a new form is submitted, it will trigger the workflow.

Next, you will need to connect Zoho Forms with Pabbly Connect. Copy the provided webhook URL, which will act as a bridge for the data transfer. Navigate to your Zoho Forms and edit the form you want to connect. Go to the Integrations section, scroll down to the Webhooks option, and paste the webhook URL there.

4. Setting Up the Action with Zoho Invoice

After setting up the Trigger, it’s time to configure the Action in Pabbly Connect. Search for Zoho Invoice as your Action application and select it. Then, choose the Action Event as ‘Create Invoice’. This step will define what happens when the Trigger is activated.

Connect your Zoho Invoice account with Pabbly Connect by clicking on ‘Connect’ and granting access. Once connected, you will need to fill in the details for the invoice using the data received from the Zoho Forms submission. This includes customer details and product information.

• Select your organization in Zoho Invoice.

After mapping all necessary fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure everything is functioning correctly. If successful, you will receive a confirmation response indicating that the invoice has been created.
