1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Shopify Integration

To set up a webhook inside Shopify, we start by using Pabbly Connect. This platform acts as a bridge to connect your Shopify account with other applications, such as Google Sheets. First, navigate to your Pabbly Connect dashboard and select Shopify as your trigger application.

Once you select Shopify, choose the trigger event labeled ‘New Customer’. This event will trigger the workflow whenever a new customer is created in your Shopify store. The next step is to copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect, which will be used to link Shopify with the platform.

2. Configuring Webhook in Shopify

After obtaining the webhook URL from Pabbly Connect, log in to your Shopify account to configure the webhook. Go to the Settings menu, scroll down to Notifications, and then navigate to the Webhooks section. Here, you will create a new webhook.

• Click on the ‘Create Webhook’ button.
• Select the event as ‘Customer Creation’.
• Set the format to JSON, as specified in the help documentation.
• Paste the webhook URL from Pabbly Connect into the URL field.
• Choose the latest API version for the webhook.

Once you have filled in all the necessary details, click on the ‘Save’ button. You should see a confirmation message indicating that the webhook has been saved successfully.

3. Testing the Webhook Integration

With the webhook set up in Shopify, it’s time to test the integration with Pabbly Connect. To do this, go back to your Shopify store and create a new customer account. Fill in the required fields, such as first name, last name, and email address, then click on the ‘Create’ button.

After creating the account, switch back to Pabbly Connect to check if the new customer details have been captured. You should see the response containing the new customer’s information, including their first name, last name, email, and customer ID. This confirms that the webhook is functioning correctly.

4. Adding Customer Data to Google Sheets

Now that the webhook is successfully capturing new customer data, the next step is to add this information to Google Sheets using Pabbly Connect. In the action window of your workflow, search for Google Sheets and select it as your action application.

• Choose the action event ‘Add New Row’.
• Connect your Google account by clicking on the ‘Connect’ button.
• Select the Google Sheets file you created for storing customer details.

Once connected, you will need to map the fields from the Shopify response to the corresponding columns in your Google Sheet. This ensures that every new customer’s data is accurately recorded in the correct columns.

5. Finalizing the Integration and Workflow

After mapping the fields in Google Sheets, click on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button in Pabbly Connect. This action will test the entire workflow. If successful, you will see a positive response indicating that the customer details have been added to your Google Sheet.

Now, every time a new customer registers on your Shopify store, their details will automatically be sent to Pabbly Connect and added to your Google Sheets. This integration streamlines your data management process and enhances your operational efficiency.

By following the steps outlined, you can automate the process of capturing customer data and storing it in Google Sheets seamlessly.
