After creating your workflow, you will see two sections: Trigger and Action. The Trigger is the event that starts the workflow, while the Action is what happens as a result. In this case, the Trigger will be a new form submission from Elementor.

3. Setting Up Trigger for Elementor Form Submission

Next, you need to set up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect. Search for the Elementor application and select it as your Trigger. Choose the event ‘New Form Submission’ to capture the details from the form.

To connect Elementor with Pabbly Connect, copy the Webhook URL provided. This URL acts as a bridge between Elementor and Pabbly Connect, allowing data to flow seamlessly between the two applications.

• Open your Elementor form in WordPress.
• Edit the form and navigate to the ‘Actions After Submit’ section.
• Add a new action and select ‘Webhook’, then paste the copied URL.

After updating the form, you can now test the connection by submitting a sample form. This will allow Pabbly Connect to receive the response data.

4. Generating PDF Document with PDFMonkey

With the Trigger set up, the next step is to configure the Action in Pabbly Connect using PDFMonkey. Search for PDFMonkey and select it as your Action application. Choose the ‘Generate Document’ event to create the PDF.

To connect PDFMonkey, you will need to provide an API token. Log into your PDFMonkey account, navigate to your profile, and find the API authentication section to copy your API key.

Paste the API key into Pabbly Connect to establish the connection. Obtain the Template ID from your PDFMonkey templates. Map the dynamic data fields from Elementor form responses to the PDF template.
