In this section, we will explore how to connect your Lob account with Pabbly Connect. This integration allows you to automate sending physical mail like postcards and letters, making it as easy as sending an email.
The combination of Lob and Pabbly Connect streamlines your mailing process. By automating tasks, you can save time and reach your audience effectively. This guide will walk you through the necessary steps to set up this integration.
Creating a Webhook in Lob for Automation
To begin, you need to create a webhook in your Lob account. This webhook will act as a bridge between your Lob account and Pabbly Connect. First, log into your Lob account and navigate to the ‘Webhooks’ section.
Click on the ‘Create New Webhook’ button. You will need to provide a description for your webhook. Here are the specific steps to follow:
- Select the event type you want to trigger the webhook, such as ‘Create Postcard’.
- Copy the Webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.
- Paste the Webhook URL into the URL field in Lob.
After completing these steps, click on the ‘Save’ button to finalize your webhook setup. This webhook will now notify Pabbly Connect whenever a new postcard is created in your Lob account.
Setting Up Pabbly Connect to Receive Webhook Data
Next, you will set up Pabbly Connect to receive data from the webhook you just created. Go to your Pabbly Connect dashboard and select ‘Create Workflow’. Name your workflow appropriately, such as ‘Lob Postcard Notification’.
Once your workflow is created, select ‘Webhook’ as the trigger application. Choose the event type that corresponds to the webhook you set in Lob. Now, follow these steps:
- Click on the ‘Save’ button to generate a unique webhook URL.
- Copy this URL and go back to your Lob webhook settings.
- Paste the Pabbly Connect webhook URL into the Lob webhook URL field.
After pasting the URL, you can test this connection by creating a test postcard in Lob. Pabbly Connect will capture the data sent from Lob, confirming that your webhook is working correctly.
Testing the Integration Between Lob and Pabbly Connect
Now it’s time to test the integration between your Lob account and Pabbly Connect. To do this, create a test postcard in your Lob account. Make sure to fill in all necessary details such as the recipient address, postcard size, and any images you want to include.
After creating the postcard, return to your Pabbly Connect dashboard. Check if the test data from Lob has been received. You should see the details of the postcard you just created. If everything is set up correctly, you will receive a confirmation message indicating that the data was captured successfully.
In case of any issues, verify the webhook settings in both Lob and Pabbly Connect to ensure they match. Once the integration is confirmed, you can proceed to automate further actions based on the data received from Lob.
Conclusion
Integrating your Lob account with Pabbly Connect enables seamless automation of your physical mail processes. By following these steps, you can efficiently send postcards and letters while saving time and effort. This integration is crucial for businesses looking to enhance their mailing efficiency.
