To automate sending order confirmation SMS for multi-product WooCommerce orders, you first need to set up Pabbly Connect. Start by creating a free account on the Pabbly Connect website, which allows you to access various automation features.

Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard. Click on the blue button labeled ‘Create Workflow’ to start a new automation. Name your workflow, such as ‘Send Order Confirmation SMS for Multi-Product WooCommerce Orders’, and select the folder where you want to save it. This is the first step to integrating WooCommerce and Twilio via Pabbly Connect.

2. Connecting WooCommerce to Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will connect WooCommerce to Pabbly Connect. Select WooCommerce as your trigger application and choose the trigger event ‘New Order’. This means every time a new order is placed, it will trigger the workflow.

• Select ‘New Order’ as the trigger event.
• Copy the provided webhook URL.
• Go to WooCommerce settings and add the webhook URL.

After adding the webhook in WooCommerce, every new order will send data to Pabbly Connect, allowing you to capture order details automatically. This connection is crucial for the SMS sending process.

3. Capturing Order Details in Pabbly Connect

Now that WooCommerce is connected to Pabbly Connect, the next step is to capture the order details. After placing a test order in WooCommerce, return to Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Recapture Webhook Response’. This will allow you to see the data that has been sent from WooCommerce.

Once the order is placed, the response will display customer details, including their phone number and the products ordered. This data is essential for sending the SMS confirmation. Ensure that the data is correctly formatted and contains all necessary information.

4. Sending SMS Confirmation via Twilio

With the order details captured, you can now set up Twilio in Pabbly Connect to send SMS confirmations. Choose Twilio as the action application and select ‘Send SMS’ as the action event. Connect your Twilio account by entering your Account SID and Auth Token.

• Map the customer’s phone number as the recipient.
• Create a message body that includes order details.
• Test the SMS sending to ensure everything works.

After setting up the SMS details, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’. If successful, the customer will receive an SMS confirmation of their order, demonstrating the effectiveness of Pabbly Connect in automating this process.
