1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To send Telegram invitations automatically after Thinkific course enrollments, start by accessing Pabbly Connect. Open your browser and search for Pabbly Connect. You will see options to sign in or sign up for free if you don’t have an account.

If you’re a new user, click on the ‘Sign up for free’ button, which takes only two minutes. After signing up, you will receive 100 free tasks every month. For existing users, simply sign in to access the dashboard where you can create workflows.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once you are logged into Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to start a new automation. You will be prompted to name your workflow according to your objective, such as ‘Send Telegram Invitation on Thinkific Course Enrollment.’ After naming it, click on ‘Create’ to proceed.

This will lead you to the workflow setup screen. Here, you will see two main boxes labeled ‘Trigger’ and ‘Action.’ The trigger is the event that starts the workflow, while the action is the task that follows. In this case, the trigger will be Thinkific, and the action will involve Telegram and Gmail.

3. Setting Up the Trigger with Thinkific

In the trigger section, select Thinkific as your application. You will then need to choose the trigger event, which is ‘Enrollment Created.’ This event will activate whenever a new student enrolls in your course.

Next, you will connect Thinkific with Pabbly Connect. To do this, you need to copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect. Then, go to your Thinkific account, navigate to Settings, and select the Webhooks option. Here, you will create a new webhook and paste the URL you copied earlier.

• Paste the webhook URL in the target URL field.
• Select ‘Enrollment’ as the model.
• Choose ‘Enrollment Created’ as the topic.

After saving, return to Pabbly Connect to check for a response from Thinkific. You may need to create a test enrollment to trigger the webhook response.

4. Integrating Telegram to Create an Invite Link

Once you have received the webhook response, it is time to set up the action with Telegram. Select Telegram as your action application and choose the action event ‘Create Chat Invite Link.’ This will allow you to generate an invite link for your Telegram group.

To connect Telegram with Pabbly Connect, you will need a bot token. Use BotFather on Telegram to create a new bot, which will provide you with the token. After copying the token, return to Pabbly Connect and paste it to establish the connection.

• Add the bot to your Telegram group where you wish to send invites.
• Promote your bot to admin in the group for it to function correctly.

Once connected, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to generate the invite link for your Telegram group.

5. Sending Invite Links via Gmail

After successfully creating the Telegram invite link, the next step is to send this link via email using Gmail. In the action setup, select Gmail and choose ‘Send Email’ as the action event.

You will need to connect your Gmail account to Pabbly Connect. Click on ‘Connect’ and allow access to your Gmail account. Once connected, you can map the recipient’s email address from the previous Thinkific enrollment data.

Set the email subject as ‘Join Our Course Community on Telegram.’ Create the email content including the invite link.

Finally, test the email sending process to ensure that the invite link is sent successfully to the new student’s email. Check your Gmail to confirm receipt of the email.
