1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Thinkific Integration

To create and enroll users in Thinkific courses, you first need to set up Pabbly Connect. This integration tool allows you to connect various applications seamlessly. Start by signing up for a free account on Pabbly Connect, where you can access automation tasks to test your workflows.

Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard and click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Here, you can name your workflow, which will help you identify it later. After naming, click on the ‘Create’ button to proceed to the workflow setup page.

2. Configuring the Webhook Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will configure the webhook trigger that captures data from external applications. Use the Pabbly Connect webhook feature to generate a unique URL. This URL will be used in your external application to send data.

• Copy the webhook URL from Pabbly Connect.
• In your external application (e.g., Jotform), navigate to the settings.
• Locate the Webhooks section and paste the copied URL.
• Complete the integration to establish a connection.

After setting up the webhook, test the connection by submitting a sample form. This will trigger the webhook, and you should see the data captured in Pabbly Connect.

3. Creating a User in Thinkific through Pabbly Connect

Now that you have captured the data, it’s time to create a user in Thinkific using Pabbly Connect. Add an action step in your workflow and select Thinkific as the application. Choose the action event as ‘Create User’.

Connect to Thinkific by entering your subdomain, which can be found in your Thinkific account settings. Once connected, map the fields from the webhook response to the required fields in Thinkific, such as first name, last name, and email address. This mapping process ensures that the correct data is sent to Thinkific.

4. Enrolling the User in a Thinkific Course

After creating the user, the next step is to enroll them in a course. Again, use Pabbly Connect to add another action step and select Thinkific. This time, choose the action event as ‘Enroll User’.

• Select the course in which you want to enroll the user.
• Map the user ID from the previous step to the enrollment action.
• Optionally set activation and expiry dates for the course.

Once everything is mapped correctly, save your settings and send a test request. If successful, the user will be enrolled in the selected course, confirming that your integration with Pabbly Connect works as intended.

Conclusion

This tutorial illustrates how to automate user creation and course enrollment in Thinkific using Pabbly Connect and webhooks. By following the steps outlined, you can streamline your processes efficiently. This integration simplifies managing user data and course enrollments, making it easier for online educators.
