1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for WooCommerce and Twilio Integration

To get started with SMS notifications for new WooCommerce product reviews, you need to set up Pabbly Connect. This platform allows you to create automated workflows between WooCommerce and Twilio, making it easy to receive SMS alerts whenever a new review is submitted.

First, sign in to your Pabbly Connect account. Once logged in, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to initiate the process. You will be prompted to name your workflow; for this tutorial, we will call it ‘Send SMS for New Reviews on WooCommerce’. After naming your workflow, click on ‘Create’ to proceed.

2. Configuring WooCommerce as the Trigger Application

In the workflow setup, the next step is to configure WooCommerce as the trigger application. This means that whenever a new product review is received, it will trigger an action in Twilio to send an SMS notification. In Pabbly Connect, select WooCommerce as your trigger application and choose the event ‘New Product Review’.

• Select ‘New Product Review’ as the event.
• Click on ‘Connect’ to link WooCommerce with Pabbly Connect.
• Enter your WooCommerce Consumer Key, Consumer Secret, and Website URL.

To obtain the Consumer Key and Secret, navigate to your WooCommerce settings, go to ‘Advanced’, then click on ‘REST API’ to generate a new key. Ensure you set the permissions to read and write before copying the keys to Pabbly Connect.

3. Setting Up Twilio as the Action Application

After configuring WooCommerce, the next step is to set Twilio as the action application in your Pabbly Connect workflow. This action will send an SMS notification whenever a new product review is triggered. Choose Twilio as your action application and select the ‘Send Message’ event.

When prompted, click on ‘Connect’ and enter your Twilio Account SID and Auth Token. You can find these credentials in your Twilio account dashboard. Paste the SID and token into the respective fields in Pabbly Connect to establish the connection.

• Enter the body of the SMS message, including the product name and review.
• Specify the sender number from Twilio and the recipient number where the SMS should be sent.

Make sure to include the country code for the recipient number. After configuring these settings, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify the setup.

4. Testing the Integration for Successful SMS Notifications

Once you have set up both WooCommerce and Twilio in Pabbly Connect, it’s crucial to test the integration to ensure that SMS notifications are being sent correctly. To do this, go back to your WooCommerce site and add a new product review.

After submitting the review, return to Pabbly Connect and check the response from the Twilio action. You should see a confirmation that the SMS has been sent successfully. If everything is configured correctly, you will receive an SMS notification on the specified recipient number.

This step is essential to ensure that the entire workflow functions seamlessly. If you encounter any issues, double-check the configurations in Pabbly Connect, WooCommerce, and Twilio to resolve any errors.
