1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To update a WordPress user through webhook responses, you need to access Pabbly Connect. Start by visiting Pabbly’s website and either sign in or create a free account. This process takes just a few minutes, and you’ll receive 100 free tasks every month.

Once logged in, locate the Pabbly Connect option on the dashboard. Click on the ‘Access Now’ button to enter the workflow section. Here, you can create a new workflow that will automate the user update process using webhook responses from your form.

2. Creating the Workflow in Pabbly Connect

To create a workflow, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button in Pabbly Connect. Name your workflow something descriptive like ‘Update WordPress User for Webhook Response’ and select a folder to save it. Once named, you will see two main sections: Trigger and Action.

• Select ‘Webhook by Pabbly’ as the Trigger application.
• Set the trigger event to ‘Capture Webhook’.
• Copy the generated webhook URL for use in your form integration.

After setting up the trigger, the next step is to connect your form (like JotForm) to this webhook URL. This connection allows Pabbly Connect to receive user data whenever the form is submitted.

3. Integrating JotForm with Pabbly Connect

In your JotForm, go to the settings and navigate to the integrations section. Search for ‘Webhook’ and paste the copied webhook URL from Pabbly Connect. Click on ‘Complete Integration’ to finalize the connection.

Now, whenever a user submits the form, their data will be sent to Pabbly Connect. You can test this by filling out the form with dummy data and checking if the information appears in your Pabbly Connect workflow.

4. Searching for the User in WordPress

Once you receive the webhook response in Pabbly Connect, the next step is to search for the user in your WordPress account. For this, add an Action step and select ‘WordPress’ as the application.

• Set the action event to ‘Search User’.
• Map the email address from the webhook response to search for the user.

This search will allow you to find the existing user in WordPress, ensuring that you can update their details based on the information received from the webhook.

5. Updating the User Details in WordPress

After successfully searching for the user, the final step is to update their details. Add another Action step in Pabbly Connect and select ‘WordPress’ again, this time choosing the action event ‘Update User’.

In this step, you will map the user ID obtained from the previous search, as well as other details like first name, last name, and description from the webhook response. Once all necessary fields are filled, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to apply the updates.

Finally, check your WordPress user list to confirm that the details have been updated as intended. This completes the integration process using Pabbly Connect, allowing for seamless user updates based on webhook responses.
