1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for WooCommerce Automation

In this section, we will explore how to set up Pabbly Connect to automate sending Slack messages and creating SendFox contacts for updated WooCommerce orders. First, you need to create a free account on Pabbly Connect, which can be done in just a few minutes by following the sign-up link provided.

Once you have created your account, log in to your Pabbly Connect dashboard. To initiate the automation, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow, for example, ‘WooCommerce to Slack to SendFox’, and select the appropriate folder for your Pabbly Connect account. After naming your workflow, click on ‘Create’ to proceed.

2. Connecting WooCommerce to Pabbly Connect

To connect WooCommerce with Pabbly Connect, you need to set up a trigger that activates whenever an order is updated. In the trigger step, select WooCommerce as the app and choose the event ‘Order Updated’ from the dropdown menu. Pabbly Connect will generate a webhook URL for you.

• Copy the generated webhook URL.
• Navigate to your WooCommerce settings in WordPress.
• Under the Advanced tab, select the Webhooks option.
• Click on ‘Add Webhook’ and fill in the required fields, including the copied URL.

After saving the webhook, return to Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Recapture Webhook Response’. This will allow Pabbly Connect to wait for a response from WooCommerce when an order is marked as completed.

3. Setting Up Filter Condition in Pabbly Connect

After successfully capturing the webhook response from WooCommerce, the next step is to set a filter condition in Pabbly Connect. This filter will ensure that the automation continues only if the order status is marked as completed. To do this, add a new action step and select ‘Filter’ from the app options.

• Choose the response label for the order status from the available options.
• Set the filter condition to ‘equals’ and input ‘completed’ as the value.

Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. If the order status is indeed completed, you will see a confirmation that the condition is true. This step is crucial for ensuring that only completed orders trigger further actions in your workflow.

4. Sending Slack Message via Pabbly Connect

Now that the filter condition is set, the next step involves sending a notification message to your Slack channel using Pabbly Connect. Add another action step, select Slack as the app, and choose ‘Send Channel Message’ as the action event. Connect your Slack account by clicking on ‘Connect’ and following the prompts to authorize.

Once connected, select the channel where you want to send the message. You can customize the message to include details such as the order ID, customer name, email, product ordered, quantity, and total amount. Use the mapping feature to insert these details dynamically from the previous steps.

5. Adding SendFox Contact for the Completed Order

The final step in this automation is to add the customer as a contact in SendFox using Pabbly Connect. Create another action step, select SendFox, and choose ‘Add Contact to List’ as the action event. Connect your SendFox account by entering your personal access token, which you can obtain from your SendFox settings.

After connecting, select the appropriate contact list in SendFox where you want to add the customer. Use the mapping feature to fill in the customer details such as first name, last name, email, and address from the WooCommerce order details captured in the earlier steps.

Conclusion

This tutorial demonstrated how to automate sending Slack messages and creating SendFox contacts for updated WooCommerce orders using Pabbly Connect. By following these steps, you can enhance your workflow efficiency and keep your team informed about order updates seamlessly.
