Understanding Webhooks and Pabbly Connect

In this tutorial, we will explore how to set up a webhook inside Zoho Inventory using Pabbly Connect.

By using Pabbly Connect, you can automate this data transfer seamlessly.

The process involves creating a trigger in Zoho Inventory that activates when specific events occur, such as creating or updating an item. The actions will then be executed in other applications, allowing for real-time updates and communication.

Setting Up Pabbly Connect Trigger

To begin, you need to access Pabbly Connect and set up your trigger. First, log in to your Pabbly Connect account and navigate to the dashboard. Here, you will create a new workflow that will listen for events from Zoho Inventory.

Select Zoho Inventory as your trigger application. You will then choose the trigger event. The options include:

• Create or Update Item
• Create or Update Customer
• Create or Update Invoice

After selecting the ‘Create or Update Item’ event, Pabbly Connect will generate a webhook URL for you to use in Zoho Inventory.

Configuring Webhook in Zoho Inventory

Next, you will set up the webhook in Zoho Inventory by accessing the settings section. Navigate to the Automations tab and select Workflow Actions. Click on the ‘New Webhook’ button to create a new webhook.

In the new webhook configuration, provide a name such as ‘Test Item’ and select the module as ‘Item’. Paste the webhook URL you copied from Pabbly Connect into the URL field. You can also add an optional description, but it is not mandatory. Once done, click on the ‘Save’ button to finalize your webhook setup.

After setting up the webhook, the next step is to create a workflow rule in Zoho Inventory. This rule will define when the webhook is triggered. To do this, click on ‘New Workflow Rule’ and name it, for example, ‘Item Created’. using Pabbly Connect

Choose the module as ‘Item’ and then select the trigger event. You can pick from options like:

• Created
• Edited
• Created or Edited

For our example, select ‘Created or Edited’. After setting the trigger, you can specify to execute the workflow when any field in the item is updated, and then save the rule.

Testing the Webhook Setup

Now that everything is configured, it’s time to test the webhook setup. Go back to Pabbly Connect and click on the ‘Recapture Webhook Response’ button. This will allow you to capture a real response from Zoho Inventory.

To generate a response, create a new item in Zoho Inventory. Fill in the required fields like item name, SKU, and price, and click on ‘Save’. After a few seconds, return to Pabbly Connect to see if the response has been captured successfully. You should see the item details reflected in Pabbly Connect, confirming that the integration works correctly.
