Creating Your Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After creating the workflow, you will see two boxes: one for the trigger and one for the action.

Setting Up Cognito Forms for Pabbly Connect

To connect Cognito Forms with Pabbly Connect, you need to configure the webhook URL. Open your Cognito Forms account and select the form you want to work with. In the form settings, enable the option to post JSON data to your website.

After enabling this option, paste the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect into the submit entry endpoint. Make sure to save the changes. This step is essential as it allows Cognito Forms to send data to Pabbly Connect whenever a new submission occurs.

Testing the Integration between Cognito Forms and BigCommerce

Now that your webhook is set up, it’s time to test the integration. Go back to your Cognito Forms and submit a test entry. After submission, return to Pabbly Connect to check if the webhook response has been captured. This confirms that your setup is working correctly.

Once the test submission is successful, you will proceed to set up the action in Pabbly Connect to create a customer in BigCommerce. Select BigCommerce as your action application and choose the option to create a customer. Enter the necessary details such as client ID, access token, and store hash key from your BigCommerce account.

Finalizing the Automation with Pabbly Connect

After entering all the required details in Pabbly Connect, utilize the mapping feature to dynamically input customer information. This ensures that every new submission from Cognito Forms will automatically populate the appropriate fields in BigCommerce.
