3. Setting Up the Webhook Trigger in Pabbly Connect

To set up your webhook trigger, select the application as ‘Webhook’ in Pabbly Connect. Choose the trigger event as ‘Catch Webhook’. You will receive a unique webhook URL, which you need to copy.

Next, go to your form application (like WordPress) where you want to capture responses. In the form settings, locate the option to add a webhook. Paste the copied webhook URL into the designated field. After saving the changes, your form will now send data to Pabbly Connect whenever a new submission occurs.

• Select the Slack channel where you want to send the message.
• Compose the message you want to send, using dynamic fields from the webhook response.

Next, add another action by selecting ‘Gmail’ as your action application. Choose ‘Send Email’ as the action event. Connect your Gmail account, and fill in the required fields such as recipient email address, subject, and body of the email. Use dynamic data from the webhook response to personalize your message.

5. Testing and Verifying Your Integration

Once you have configured both Slack and Gmail actions, it’s crucial to test your integration in Pabbly Connect. Submit a test response through your form to ensure that the webhook captures the data correctly. Check your Slack channel and Gmail inbox to verify that the messages are being sent as expected.

If everything works smoothly, you have successfully set up your automation. This integration allows for real-time notifications and improves your team’s response time to new leads captured through your web forms.
