• Click on ‘Create’ to set up the workflow.
• Select WooCommerce as the trigger application.

3. Configuring WooCommerce Webhook for Pabbly Connect

To connect WooCommerce with Pabbly Connect, log into your WordPress admin panel. Navigate to WooCommerce settings and find the ‘Advanced’ tab. Within this tab, you will see the option for webhooks.
