2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After logging into Pabbly Connect, you will be directed to the dashboard where you can manage your workflows. To create a new workflow, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. A dialog box will appear prompting you to name your workflow.

• Enter a name like ‘Create or Update Mailercloud Subscriber on Contact Form 7 Submission’.
• Select a folder for organizing your workflow.
• Click on the ‘Create’ button to proceed.

Once the workflow is created, you will see a blank workflow interface with two sections: Trigger and Action. The Trigger section is where you will specify the event that starts the automation, and the Action section is where you define what happens next.

3. Setting Up the Trigger for Contact Form 7

In the Trigger section, select ‘Contact Form 7’ as your trigger application. Next, choose the event that will initiate the workflow, which is ‘New Form Submission’. This means that every time a new form is submitted, the workflow will be activated.

Pabbly Connect will generate a webhook URL that you will need to copy. This URL acts as a bridge for transferring data from Contact Form 7 to Pabbly Connect. After copying the webhook URL, navigate to your WordPress dashboard and access the Contact Form 7 plugin to set up the integration.

• Edit the form you want to connect.
• Go to the Webhook option and enable the integration.
• Paste the copied webhook URL into the designated field.
• Save the changes to finalize the connection.

After saving, return to Pabbly Connect and you will see that it is waiting for a webhook response. You will need to submit a test form to verify the connection.

4. Testing the Integration with Pabbly Connect

To test the integration, navigate back to your Contact Form 7 and submit a test entry using dummy details such as first name, last name, phone number, and email. Once you submit the form, go back to Pabbly Connect to check if the response has been captured.

If the integration is successful, you will see the submitted details reflected in Pabbly Connect. This indicates that the connection between Contact Form 7 and Pabbly Connect is established and functional. Now, you can proceed to set up the action to create or update a subscriber in Mailercloud.

Go to the Action section in Pabbly Connect. Select ‘Mailercloud’ as your action application. Choose the action event ‘Create or Update Subscriber’.

After setting this up, you are ready to define how the subscriber details will be mapped.

5. Mapping Subscriber Details in Pabbly Connect

Now that you have selected Mailercloud as your action application, you will need to create a new connection by providing your Mailercloud API key. This key can be found in your Mailercloud account under the API settings. After entering the API key, click on ‘Save’.

Next, you will need to map the subscriber details from the previous step. This includes selecting the list where you want to add the subscribers, as well as mapping the email, first name, last name, and phone number fields directly from the webhook response captured earlier in Pabbly Connect.

Select the appropriate list for your subscribers. Map the email field to the corresponding data from the webhook response. Map additional fields such as first name and last name.

Finally, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify that the subscriber is added successfully to your Mailercloud account. You can check your Mailercloud dashboard to confirm that the new subscriber appears in the selected list.
