1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Webhook Integration

To set up a webhook in your iPhone, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. This integration platform allows you to create workflows that connect various applications. Start by logging into your Pabbly Connect account and creating a new workflow.

In the workflow setup, select the trigger app as Webhook. This will enable you to capture data from the webhook URL you will generate. Once you choose Webhook, you can select the trigger event as ‘Catch Hook’ from the dropdown menu.

2. Creating the Webhook URL in Pabbly Connect

After selecting ‘Catch Hook’, Pabbly Connect will generate a unique webhook URL for you. This URL is essential as it will be used to send data from your iPhone. Copy this webhook URL to your clipboard for later use.

• Log into Pabbly Connect.
• Create a new workflow and select Webhook as the trigger app.
• Choose ‘Catch Hook’ as the trigger event.
• Copy the generated webhook URL.

This webhook URL is now ready to be integrated into your iPhone shortcut, allowing seamless data transfer.

3. Configuring the iPhone Shortcut to Use the Webhook

To send data to the webhook URL, open the Shortcuts app on your iPhone. Tap the plus button to create a new shortcut. In the search action bar, look for the action called ‘Get Contents of URL’ and select it. This action will allow you to send data to the copied webhook URL. using Pabbly Connect

Paste the copied webhook URL into the designated URL field. Next, you need to configure the method for the API call. For example, if you want to send data, select the POST method. Optionally, you can configure headers, but for this example, we will skip that step.

In the ‘Get Contents of URL’ action, you can specify the request body format. Choose JSON as the format to send structured data. You can also add input fields to gather data before sending it. For instance, use the ‘Ask for Input’ action to prompt the user for text input.

• Select ‘Ask for Input’ and place it above the ‘Get Contents of URL’ action.
• Configure the prompt message, such as ‘Say something’.
• Link the input field to the JSON body in the URL action.

This setup ensures that any text entered will be sent to the Pabbly Connect webhook URL as JSON data.

5. Testing the Webhook Integration

Once your shortcut is configured, you can test it by tapping the play button in the Shortcuts app. The shortcut will prompt you for input, allowing you to enter text. After entering your text, allow the shortcut to send the data to the webhook URL.

After the data is sent, you can return to your Pabbly Connect workflow to verify that the data has been received successfully. You should see the exact text you entered displayed in the webhook response section, confirming that the integration works.
