To begin using Pabbly Connect, first open your browser and navigate to the Pabbly Connect landing page. Here, you will find options to sign in or sign up for a free account. If you are a new user, click on ‘Sign up for free’ to get started with 100 tasks free every month. Existing users should simply click on ‘Sign in’ to access their dashboard.

Once you are logged in, you will see all the applications offered by Pabbly. Click on ‘Access Now’ under the Pabbly Connect section to enter your integration dashboard. This is where you will create a workflow to connect Paper Form and Thinkific, enabling seamless user enrollment.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In your Pabbly Connect dashboard, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. You will be prompted to name your workflow and select a folder for organization. For this tutorial, name your workflow something like ‘Enroll Thinkific User on Paper Form Submission’. After naming, click ‘Create’ to proceed to the main workflow window.

• Select ‘Paper Form’ as the trigger application.
• Choose the trigger event as ‘New Submission’.
• Copy the generated webhook URL for integration.

This setup will ensure that every time a new form is submitted, it triggers the workflow in Pabbly Connect. You will then connect this webhook URL to your Paper Form account, which will facilitate the integration process.

3. Connecting Paper Form to Pabbly Connect

To connect your Paper Form account to Pabbly Connect, log into your Paper Form account and edit the form you want to integrate. Navigate to the ‘After Submission’ tab, then to ‘Integrations’ and select ‘Webhooks’. Here, you will paste the webhook URL you copied earlier.

• Select ‘New Submission’ to trigger the webhook.
• Click ‘Create’ to save the webhook settings.

After saving, go back to your Pabbly Connect workflow. You will see that it is waiting for a webhook response. Make a test submission on your Paper Form to capture the response. This step is crucial as it confirms that your integration is correctly set up.

4. Enrolling Users in Thinkific via Pabbly Connect

Once you have successfully set up the trigger, the next step is to enroll users in Thinkific. In your Pabbly Connect workflow, select ‘Thinkific’ as the action application and choose ‘Create User’ as the action event. You will then need to connect your Thinkific account to Pabbly Connect. using Pabbly Connect

When prompted, enter your Thinkific subdomain, which can be found in your Thinkific account URL. After successfully connecting, you will need to map the user details from the Paper Form submission to the fields in Thinkific. This mapping allows for dynamic data transfer with each new submission.

Map the first name, last name, and email from the Paper Form response. Click ‘Save and Send’ to create the user in Thinkific.

This action will create a new user in Thinkific with the details provided in the Paper Form submission, thereby automating the enrollment process.

5. Finalizing the Integration and Testing

To finalize the integration, you will need to add another action step in your Pabbly Connect workflow to enroll the user in a course. Again, select ‘Thinkific’ as the action application, but this time choose ‘Enroll User’ as the action event.

Use the user ID from the previous response to ensure that the correct user is enrolled in the course. After mapping the user ID, select the course you want to enroll the user in, such as the free course on Python. Click ‘Save and Send’ to complete the enrollment process.

Once you refresh the user list in Thinkific, you will see that the new user has been successfully enrolled in the selected course. This entire process demonstrates how Pabbly Connect automates user enrollment from Paper Form submissions to Thinkific, saving time and effort.
