• Select a folder to save your workflow.
• Click on the ‘Create’ button to proceed.
• This will open the trigger and action setup window.

In this setup, you will define how the workflow operates. The trigger application will be WordPress, and the action application will be Elastic Email.

3. Setting Up the Trigger for WordPress

In this section, you will set up the trigger in Pabbly Connect. Select WordPress as your trigger application. Then, choose ‘User Registers’ as the trigger event. This means the workflow will start when a new user registers on your WordPress site.

To connect WordPress with Pabbly Connect, you will need to copy the webhook URL provided. Go to your WordPress account, navigate to plugins, and add a new plugin called WP Webhook.

• Activate the WP Webhook plugin.
• In the settings, find the option for WP Webhook.
• Add a new webhook and paste the copied URL.

After adding the webhook, return to Pabbly Connect, where it will wait for the webhook response from WordPress.

4. Registering a New User in WordPress

Now that the trigger is set, you need to register a new user in your WordPress account. This action will generate the webhook response needed by Pabbly Connect. Fill out your registration form with the necessary details such as first name, last name, username, email, and password.

Once all fields are filled, click on the submit button. This action will create a new user in your WordPress account, and you will see the user listed in the users section of WordPress.

Ensure that the email used is unique. Check that all required fields are completed. Verify that the new user appears in the WordPress users list.

After registration, return to Pabbly Connect to see if the webhook response has been received successfully.

5. Setting Up the Action for Elastic Email

With the webhook response received, it’s time to set up the action in Pabbly Connect. Select Elastic Email as the action application and choose ‘Create Contact’ as the action event. This will allow you to automatically create a new contact in Elastic Email using the details from the WordPress registration.

You will need to connect Elastic Email to Pabbly Connect by providing an API key. To get this key, log into your Elastic Email account, go to settings, and create a new API key with full access permissions.

Copy the API key from Elastic Email. Paste the API key into Pabbly Connect. Map the user details from the webhook to the corresponding fields in Elastic Email.

Once all details are mapped, click on the save button. You will receive a positive response indicating that the new contact has been successfully created in Elastic Email.
