Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard and click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. You will need to name your workflow, such as ‘Notify Team on Google Chat for New Elementor Forms Submission’. Select a folder to save your workflow in, then proceed to the main workflow setup screen.

2. Configuring the Trigger with Elementor Form

In this section, you will set up the trigger for your workflow using Pabbly Connect. The trigger application will be Elementor. Select ‘Elementor’ from the list of applications and choose the trigger event as ‘New Form Submission’. This step is crucial as it initiates the workflow whenever a new form is submitted.

• Select Elementor as the trigger application.
• Choose the trigger event: New Form Submission.
• Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.

After copying the webhook URL, you will need to integrate it into your Elementor form. This integration allows Elementor to communicate with Pabbly Connect upon receiving new submissions. You can do this by going to your WordPress dashboard, editing the Elementor form, and adding the webhook URL under the ‘Actions After Submit’ section.

3. Setting Up Google Chat Action in Pabbly Connect

Next, you will configure the action that sends notifications to Google Chat using Pabbly Connect. Select ‘Google Chat’ as the action application and choose the action event as ‘Create Message’. This step allows you to send a notification message to your team whenever a new form submission occurs.

To connect Google Chat with Pabbly Connect, you will need to provide a chat webhook URL. Go to your Google Chat workspace, add a new webhook for your team space, and copy the generated URL. Return to Pabbly Connect and paste this URL into the respective field.

4. Customizing Your Notification Message

In this step, you will customize the message that will be sent to Google Chat using Pabbly Connect. Craft a message that includes the details of the form submission. For example, your message could read: ‘Hello team, we have received a new form submission from Elementor form. Here are the details: Name, Email, Phone Number, City, and Age.’ This personalization ensures your team receives all relevant information.

• Map the response fields from Elementor to your message.
• Use dynamic mapping to ensure new submissions update the message in real-time.

Once you have set up the message, click on the ‘Save and Send Test’ button. This action will send a test notification to Google Chat, allowing you to verify that everything is working correctly. If successful, you will see your test message appear in your Google Chat.

5. Testing and Verifying the Integration

Finally, it’s important to test the integration to ensure that notifications are sent correctly. Use Pabbly Connect to submit a test form via your Elementor form and check if the notification appears in Google Chat. This step is crucial for confirming that your automation setup works as intended.

After submitting the test form, return to Google Chat to see if the notification message you configured appears with the correct details. If everything is set up properly, your team will receive real-time notifications for every new form submission.

Conclusion

Using Pabbly Connect, you can seamlessly automate notifications to your team on Google Chat for new Elementor form submissions. This integration enhances communication and ensures your team stays informed about new registrations efficiently.
