1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start the integration process, you need to access Pabbly Connect. This platform allows you to connect various applications seamlessly. First, open your web browser and navigate to the Pabbly Connect website. If you don’t have an account, you can sign up for free, which takes only a few minutes.

Once logged in, you’ll land on the dashboard. Here, you can see all the available applications that Pabbly Connect supports. To create a new workflow, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow, for example, ‘Enroll User in LearnDash Course & Send Email using Gmail from Webhook Response’ and select a folder to save it.

2. Connecting JotForm to Pabbly Connect via Webhook

The next step involves setting up a connection between JotForm and Pabbly Connect. For this, you’ll use the Webhook feature. Select ‘Webhook’ as your trigger application in Pabbly Connect and choose the event as ‘Catch Webhook’. This will generate a unique Webhook URL.

• Copy the generated Webhook URL.
• Go to JotForm, open the form you wish to connect, and navigate to the ‘Settings’ tab.
• Under ‘Integrations’, search for Webhook and paste the copied URL.

After completing these steps, click on ‘Complete Integration’ in JotForm. Now, whenever a new submission is made on your form, it will trigger the Webhook and send the data to Pabbly Connect.

3. Creating a User in WordPress Using Pabbly Connect

After setting up the Webhook, the next task is to create a user in WordPress. In your Pabbly Connect workflow, add an action step. Choose ‘WordPress’ as the action application and select ‘Create User’ as the action event. This will allow you to create a new user based on the data received from JotForm.

Fill in the required fields such as username, email, password, and role. For the username, you can combine the first and last name received from the Webhook response. Make sure to map these fields correctly using the mapping feature in Pabbly Connect.

• Username: Combine first and last name.
• Email: Map the email address from the Webhook response.
• Password: Use a secure combination.

Once you have filled in all the details, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to create the user in WordPress. This step is crucial as it sets up the user who will be enrolled in the LearnDash course.

4. Enrolling User in LearnDash Course via Pabbly Connect

Now that the user is created in WordPress, the next step is to enroll this user in a LearnDash course. In your Pabbly Connect workflow, add another action step. Select ‘LearnDash’ as the application and choose ‘Enroll into Course’ as the action event.

In this step, you need to provide the User ID of the newly created user. Use the mapping feature to dynamically map the User ID from the previous step. Select the course you want to enroll the user in, for example, the PHP and MySQL course.

Select the course from LearnDash. Map the User ID from the WordPress step. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to enroll the user.

Once you complete this step, the user will be successfully enrolled in the specified LearnDash course. This integration allows for seamless user management within your educational platform.

5. Sending Email Using Gmail via Pabbly Connect

The final step in this process is to send a confirmation email to the user using Gmail. In your Pabbly Connect workflow, add another action step and choose ‘Gmail’ as the application. Select ‘Send Email’ as the action event.

Fill in the required fields such as recipient email address, sender name, subject, and email content. Use mapping to include the user’s email address and personalize the email content with their name and course details.

Recipient: Map the user’s email from the Webhook response. Subject: ‘User Enrolled in Course’. Content: Include course details and login credentials.

After filling in the details, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This action will send an automated email to the user, confirming their enrollment and providing necessary login information.

Conclusion

This tutorial demonstrates how to enroll a user in a LearnDash course and send an email using Gmail through Pabbly Connect. By following these steps, you can automate user management in your educational platform efficiently.
