Next, select the folder where you want to save your workflow. Click on the folder tab to view available folders and select the one relevant to your Flodesk integration. Finally, click on the ‘Create’ button to initiate your workflow.

Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

The first step in your workflow is to set up the trigger. For this integration, the trigger application is BigCommerce. Search for BigCommerce and select it as your trigger application.

Next, choose the trigger event. The appropriate trigger event here is ‘New Order Created’. After selecting this, click on the ‘Connect’ button to establish a connection between BigCommerce and Pabbly Connect. You will need to provide a Client ID, Access Token, and Store Hash Key to complete this connection.

• Open your BigCommerce account settings.
• Navigate to Advanced Settings and select API.
• Create a new API account and fill in the required scopes.

Once you have filled in all details, click on ‘Save’ to finalize the connection. This step ensures that when a new order is placed in BigCommerce, it will trigger the workflow in Pabbly Connect.

Adding Action Steps in Pabbly Connect

After setting up the trigger, you will need to add action steps to your workflow. The first action step is to retrieve the order details from BigCommerce. Select BigCommerce again as your action application and choose the action event ‘Get Order by ID’. using Pabbly Connect

Connect BigCommerce using the existing connection you created earlier, and map the Order ID from the trigger response. This mapping allows you to pull specific details from the order that was just created.

• Select the action event ‘Get Product by Order ID’ to retrieve product details.
• Map the relevant details from the previous responses to ensure accurate data retrieval.
• Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify the connection.

This process will ensure that you have all the necessary order details to create a subscriber in Flodesk.

Creating a Subscriber in Flodesk

Now that you have the order details, the next step is to create a subscriber in Flodesk. Select Flodesk as your action application and choose the action event ‘Create/Update Subscriber’.

Connect Flodesk with Pabbly Connect by clicking on ‘Add New Connection’. Grant the necessary permissions by clicking on ‘Allow’. Once connected, map the customer details such as email, first name, and last name from the previous BigCommerce response.

Select the option to send a confirmation email if desired. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to confirm that the subscriber is created successfully. Check Flodesk to ensure the new subscriber appears in your list.

This step finalizes the subscriber creation process, allowing you to effectively segment your audience based on their orders.

Segmenting Subscribers in Flodesk

The final step is to segment the newly created subscriber based on the order they placed. In Pabbly Connect, add another action step and select the ‘Lookup Table’ action event. This will allow you to define which segment the subscriber belongs to based on the product they ordered.

Fill in the lookup table with product names and their corresponding segment IDs from Flodesk. Map the product name received from the BigCommerce order to the lookup key. This enables you to identify the correct segment for each subscriber automatically.

Finally, add one last action step to add the subscriber to the identified segment in Flodesk. Use the action event ‘Add Existing Subscriber to Segment’ and map the segment ID from the lookup table. This ensures that subscribers are grouped correctly based on their orders, allowing for targeted email campaigns.
