1. Accessing Pabbly Connect to Set Up Webhook

To send real-time emails on webhook responses, first, access Pabbly Connect. This integration platform allows you to connect various applications seamlessly. Start by navigating to the Pabbly Connect homepage.

If you are a new user, click on the ‘Sign Up Free’ button to create an account and get 300 tasks every month. Existing users can simply click on ‘Sign In’ to access their accounts. Once logged in, you will see the dashboard where all your applications are listed.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

To build your connection, you need to create a new workflow in Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located at the top right corner. A dialog box will appear asking you to name your workflow.

• Name your workflow as ‘Send Real-Time Email on Webhook Response’.
• Select a folder to save your workflow, such as ‘Automations’.
• Click on the ‘Create’ button to proceed.

Once the workflow is created, you will see the two essential components: trigger and action. The trigger indicates when the automation will start, while the action specifies what will happen as a result.

3. Setting Up the Trigger with Webhook

For this integration, select ‘Webhook by Pabbly’ as your trigger application. This allows you to connect your website form created with Elementor to Pabbly Connect. Choose the trigger event as ‘Catch Webhook’.

After selecting the trigger, you will receive a unique webhook URL. This URL is crucial as it will link your form submissions to Pabbly Connect. Copy this URL and proceed to your Elementor form settings.

• Edit your form in Elementor and navigate to the ‘Actions After Submit’ section.
• Add a new action by selecting ‘Webhook’.
• Paste the copied webhook URL into the appropriate field and save changes.

Now, your form is set up to send data to Pabbly Connect whenever a new inquiry is submitted.

4. Configuring the Action with Gmail

Next, we will set up the action step in Pabbly Connect. Select ‘Gmail’ as your action application. This allows you to send emails directly from your Gmail account. Choose the action event as ‘Send Email’.

To connect your Gmail account, click on ‘Connect’ and follow the prompts to authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Gmail. After successful connection, you will need to fill in the recipient email address.

Map the lead’s email from the webhook response to the recipient email field. Enter your company name as the sender name. Set the subject as ‘Inquiry Received’ and customize the email body with the necessary information.

After filling out all required fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to send a test email to ensure everything is working correctly.

5. Testing the Integration

To verify that your setup works, perform a test submission on your Elementor form. Enter dummy data and submit the form. This will trigger the webhook and send an email via Gmail through Pabbly Connect.

Check the recipient’s email to confirm that the email has been received with the correct information. If everything is set up correctly, you will see a confirmation message in Pabbly Connect indicating that the email was sent successfully.

With this, you have successfully integrated your form with Gmail using Pabbly Connect. This automation will ensure that every time a new inquiry is made, a real-time email response is sent to the lead.

Conclusion

This tutorial demonstrated how to send real-time emails on webhook responses using Pabbly Connect. By following these steps, you can enhance your customer engagement and streamline your inquiry management process.
