1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for WooCommerce and Google Sheets Integration

To update the cell value for each WooCommerce product, you start by logging into your Pabbly Connect account. This integration allows you to automate the process of updating Google Sheets whenever a new order is created in WooCommerce.

After signing in, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow something descriptive, such as ‘Update Cell Value for Each WooCommerce Product.’ This will set the foundation for your automation, allowing you to connect WooCommerce and Google Sheets seamlessly.

2. Setting the Trigger Action in WooCommerce

The next step involves setting up the trigger in Pabbly Connect. Select WooCommerce as your trigger application and choose the event ‘New Order Created.’ This means that every time a new order is placed, it will trigger the workflow.

Make sure your WooCommerce store is open and ready. You will need to set up a webhook in WooCommerce to connect it with Pabbly Connect. To do this, navigate to WooCommerce settings, go to the ‘Advanced’ tab, and find the ‘Webhooks’ option. Click on ‘Add Webhook’ and fill in the required information:

• Name: Product Update
• Status: Active
• Topic: Order Created
• Delivery URL: Paste the webhook URL from Pabbly Connect here

Once you’ve saved the webhook, Pabbly Connect will start waiting for a response from WooCommerce, allowing you to capture the necessary order details.

3. Creating an Order in WooCommerce

With the webhook set, you can now create a test order in WooCommerce. Navigate to your product page, add a product to the cart, and proceed to checkout. After placing the order, Pabbly Connect will capture the response from WooCommerce.

Once the order is placed, go back to Pabbly Connect, and you will see the response containing various details, including the product ID and order information. This data will be crucial for updating the corresponding cell in Google Sheets.

4. Updating Google Sheets with New Order Information

Next, you will set up Google Sheets as the action application in Pabbly Connect. Choose the event ‘Lookup Spreadsheet Rows’ to find the relevant product in your Google Sheet. Connect your Google account and select the spreadsheet containing your WooCommerce product details.

For the lookup, specify the column that contains the product IDs, which is typically column B. Map the product ID from the WooCommerce trigger response into the lookup value field. This allows Pabbly Connect to find the correct row in your spreadsheet to update.

• Select your spreadsheet: WooCommerce
• Column for lookup: B (Product ID)
• Include headers: Yes

After configuring these settings, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure that Pabbly Connect retrieves the correct data from Google Sheets.

5. Finalizing the Update of Cell Values

After retrieving the current sales data from Google Sheets, you need to perform a mathematical operation to update the sales figure. Use the ‘Number Formatter’ feature in Pabbly Connect to add the new sale amount to the existing sales figure.

Once you’ve calculated the new total, add another action step to update the cell value in Google Sheets. Select ‘Update Cell Value’ as the event, and map the new total sales value along with the corresponding row index from the previous step.

Select your spreadsheet: WooCommerce Column to update: C Row index: Use the index from the lookup step

After saving and testing this action, you will see the cell value updated in your Google Sheet, reflecting the new sales totals each time an order is placed.
