1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for WooCommerce Integration

To create Freshbooks invoices for new WooCommerce orders, start by accessing Pabbly Connect. This integration tool allows users to connect WooCommerce and Freshbooks seamlessly without any technical knowledge.

Begin by signing up or logging into your Pabbly Connect account. Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard and click on the option to create a new workflow. This will allow you to set up an integration between WooCommerce and Freshbooks.


2. Configuring WooCommerce to Work with Pabbly Connect

Next, you need to configure WooCommerce to send data to Pabbly Connect. Go to your WooCommerce settings and locate the Advanced tab. Here, you will find the Webhooks section where you can add a new webhook.

  • Click on ‘Add Webhook’.
  • Name your webhook (e.g., Freshbooks Integration).
  • Set the status to Active.
  • Select the topic as ‘Order Updated’.
  • Paste the webhook URL from Pabbly Connect.

After saving these settings, WooCommerce will send order updates to Pabbly Connect, allowing the integration to function correctly.


3. Testing the Integration with Dummy Orders

To ensure that the integration works, create a dummy order in WooCommerce. This step is essential as it allows Pabbly Connect to capture the order details and confirm that data is flowing correctly.

Once the dummy order is placed, check Pabbly Connect for incoming data. If the webhook is set up correctly, you should see the order information reflected in Pabbly Connect. This data will include customer details and order status.


4. Creating Freshbooks Invoices Automatically

Now that Pabbly Connect is receiving data from WooCommerce, the next step is to create an invoice in Freshbooks. In the Pabbly Connect workflow, add an action step to create an invoice in Freshbooks.

Map the necessary fields from the WooCommerce order data to the Freshbooks invoice fields. Ensure that the customer email and order details are correctly linked to generate accurate invoices. This step is where Pabbly Connect plays a crucial role in automating the process.


5. Finalizing the Setup and Testing

After setting up the integration, it’s important to finalize your workflow in Pabbly Connect. Test the entire process by placing another order in WooCommerce and checking if an invoice is generated in Freshbooks.

If everything is configured correctly, you should see a new invoice in Freshbooks corresponding to the latest WooCommerce order. This demonstrates the power of Pabbly Connect in automating business processes across applications.
