• Name your workflow as ‘Send Slack Notification for Elementor Form Submission’.
• Choose a folder to save this workflow, if desired.

Now, you will see two windows: one for the trigger and another for the action. Select ‘Elementor’ as your trigger application and choose ‘New Form Submission’ as the trigger event. This setup will allow the automation to start whenever a form is submitted.

3. Connecting Elementor with Pabbly Connect

After selecting the trigger, Pabbly Connect provides you with a webhook URL. This URL is essential for sending responses from Elementor to Pabbly Connect. Copy this webhook URL and head to your WordPress site where Elementor is installed.

In your WordPress dashboard, navigate to the Elementor section, and create or edit the form you want to connect. Under the ‘Actions After Submit’ section, click the plus sign to add a new action and select ‘Webhook’. Paste the copied URL into the webhook field.

• Ensure you save the changes to the form.
• Preview the form to test the connection.

Once the form is set up, return to Pabbly Connect and wait for a webhook response. This indicates that the connection between Elementor and Pabbly Connect is successful.

4. Sending Notifications to Slack via Pabbly Connect

Now that Elementor is connected to Pabbly Connect, it’s time to set up the action to send notifications to Slack. In the action step, select ‘Slack’ as your action application and choose ‘Send Channel Message’ as the action event.

To connect your Slack account, click on ‘Add New Connection’. You will need to select the token type, which can be either user or bot. For sending messages without images, select ‘Bot’ as your token type, and click ‘Save’. Authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Slack account.

Select the channel where you want to send the messages. Draft the message you want to send, including dynamic fields from the Elementor form submission.

Map the necessary fields such as name, email, and feedback from the previous response to ensure the message contains the relevant information. Once everything is set, click on ‘Save’ and then ‘Send Test Request’ to verify the integration.

5. Testing Your Integration with Pabbly Connect

After setting up the action in Pabbly Connect, it’s crucial to test your integration. Submit a test entry through your Elementor form to ensure that the data is correctly sent to Slack. Check the designated Slack channel for the message.

Once you submit the form with dummy details, return to your Slack channel to confirm that the notification appears as expected. You should see a message detailing the feedback received, including the participant’s name and email.

Repeat the test with different entries to ensure consistency. Adjust any settings in Pabbly Connect if the messages do not appear as intended.

With successful tests, you can now enjoy automated Slack notifications every time an Elementor form is submitted, streamlining your communication process.
