1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start the process of enrolling users in LearnDash courses and sending emails using Gmail, you need to access Pabbly Connect. This powerful automation tool allows you to connect various applications seamlessly. Begin by navigating to the Pabbly Connect website and either sign in or create a free account.

Once logged in, you will be directed to the Pabbly Connect dashboard. Here, you can create workflows that automate tasks between different apps. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to initiate your first workflow for enrolling users in LearnDash and sending confirmation emails.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will create a new workflow in Pabbly Connect to handle the enrollment process. After clicking on ‘Create Workflow’, you will be prompted to name your workflow. A suitable name could be ‘Enroll User in LearnDash Course & Send Email’.

• Click on the ‘Create’ button to proceed.
• In the workflow editor, you will see two main sections: Trigger and Action.
• Select ‘JotForm’ as your trigger application since it will capture the webhook response.

Now, set the trigger event to ‘Catch Webhook’. This webhook will receive data whenever a form is submitted in JotForm. Copy the generated webhook URL and proceed to integrate it with your JotForm account.

3. Integrating JotForm with Pabbly Connect

Next, you will integrate JotForm with Pabbly Connect to receive responses. Go to your JotForm account, select the form you want to use, and navigate to the settings. Under the Integrations tab, search for ‘Webhook’ and paste the copied webhook URL from Pabbly Connect.

After completing the integration, return to Pabbly Connect and make a test submission in your JotForm. This step will generate a sample webhook response, which you will use to map user details later. Ensure that the response includes essential information like the user’s name, email, and selected course.

4. Enrolling User in LearnDash Course

With the webhook response successfully captured, it’s time to enroll the user in a LearnDash course using Pabbly Connect. Add a new action step and select ‘WordPress’ as your action application. Choose the action event ‘Create User’ to set up the user in your WordPress account.

Fill in the required fields with the data mapped from the webhook response. This includes the username, email, password, first name, last name, and user role. After mapping these fields, save the action and proceed to enroll the user in the LearnDash course.

• Select ‘LearnDash’ as the next action application.
• Choose the action event ‘Enroll User’.
• Map the user ID you received from the previous step.

Once you have configured the enrollment action, test the connection to ensure that users are being enrolled correctly into the specified course.

5. Sending Confirmation Email Using Gmail

After successfully enrolling the user in LearnDash, the final step is to send a confirmation email using Gmail through Pabbly Connect. Add another action step and select ‘Gmail’ as your action application. Choose the action event ‘Send Email’.

In this step, you will need to fill out the email details, including the recipient’s email address (mapped from the webhook), sender name, subject, and email content. Use HTML formatting to customize the email, including the user’s name and course details.

Map the recipient email field to send the email to the correct user. Provide a subject line like ‘User Enrolled in Course’. Include login credentials and course access information in the email body.

Once everything is set, save the action and perform a test to ensure that the email is sent successfully. Check your Gmail account to confirm that the email was received.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can effectively use Pabbly Connect to enroll users in LearnDash courses and send automated emails using Gmail. This integration streamlines the enrollment process and enhances user communication, making it efficient and easy to manage.
