1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To send WhatsApp images to Slack, you need to access Pabbly Connect. Start by navigating to the Pabbly website and selecting the ‘Products’ option, then click on ‘Connect’. This will take you to the Pabbly Connect dashboard.

Once on the dashboard, you can create a new workflow by clicking on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow, for example, ‘WhatsApp to Slack’, and click on ‘Create’ to get started with the integration process.

2. Setting Up the Trigger Application in Pabbly Connect

The first step in using Pabbly Connect is to set the trigger application. For this integration, select ‘Chat API’ as the trigger app. The trigger event you will choose is ‘New Messages’. This means that whenever a new image is received on WhatsApp, Pabbly Connect will trigger the action.

  • Select Chat API as the trigger application.
  • Choose the trigger event ‘New Messages’.
  • Connect Chat API to Pabbly Connect by entering the API URL and token.

After entering the required fields, save the credentials and send a test request to ensure everything is working correctly. This will set up the connection between Chat API and Pabbly Connect.

3. Sending WhatsApp Images via Pabbly Connect

Once the trigger is set up, you can send an image through WhatsApp. This is crucial because Pabbly Connect will wait for this action to initiate the process. After sending an image with a caption on WhatsApp, check back in Pabbly Connect to see if the details have been captured.

When you send the image, Pabbly Connect will receive the image URL and any accompanying text. This information will then be used to send the image to Slack. Ensure that the WhatsApp account is connected and authenticated for the process to work smoothly.

4. Setting Up the Action Application in Pabbly Connect

The next step is to set up the action application, which in this case is Slack. Select Slack as the action application in Pabbly Connect and choose the action event ‘Send Channel Message with Image’. This allows you to send the WhatsApp image directly to a specified Slack channel.

  • Choose Slack as the action application.
  • Select ‘Send Channel Message with Image’ as the action event.
  • Map the details received from WhatsApp to Slack fields.

After mapping the necessary fields, such as the image URL and text, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will test if the image is successfully sent to the selected Slack channel. If everything is set up correctly, you will see the image appear in Slack.

5. Finalizing the Integration Process

With the integration complete, you can now send images from WhatsApp to Slack seamlessly using Pabbly Connect. This integration ensures that your team stays updated with any images shared via WhatsApp in real-time on Slack.

Make sure to test the entire process to confirm that images sent from WhatsApp are appearing correctly in the designated Slack channel. This will help you verify that the integration is functioning as intended.

By using Pabbly Connect, you can automate this process without any coding knowledge, making it accessible for everyone in your team. This integration enhances communication and keeps your workflow efficient.
