1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start integrating BigCommerce with ConvertKit, first, access Pabbly Connect. Begin by typing ‘Pabbly.com’ in your browser and pressing enter. Once on the website, navigate to the products section and select the option for Pabbly Connect.

After that, click on the ‘Sign In’ button to access your dashboard. If you don’t have an account, you can create one for free in just two minutes. Pabbly Connect allows you to try out the integration workflow without any coding skills, making it user-friendly.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In Pabbly Connect, the next step is to create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located at the top right corner of the dashboard. A dialog box will appear, prompting you to name your workflow. Enter a name like ‘BigCommerce to ConvertKit’ and click on ‘Create’.

• Click on ‘Choose App’ and select BigCommerce.
• Set the Trigger Event to ‘New Customer’.
• Connect your BigCommerce account with Pabbly Connect.

After connecting, you will need to fill in the necessary credentials such as Client ID, Access Token, and Store Hash Key from your BigCommerce account. This allows Pabbly Connect to pull data whenever a new customer is added.

3. Setting Up BigCommerce API for Data Capture

In this step, you will set up the BigCommerce API within Pabbly Connect. Navigate to your BigCommerce account, go to ‘Advanced Settings’, and click on ‘API Accounts’. Here, create a new API account by selecting ‘Create V2/V3 API Token’. Assign a name like ‘ConvertKit Integration’ and save the changes.

Once the API account is created, copy the API path for the Store Hash and paste it back into Pabbly Connect. This will allow Pabbly to listen for new customer events from BigCommerce. After saving, you will receive a webhook URL which you will use to test the integration.

• Capture the webhook response by clicking ‘Capture Webhook Response’.
• Create a dummy customer in BigCommerce to test the integration.
• Ensure the data is captured in Pabbly Connect.

After creating a dummy customer, return to Pabbly Connect to verify if the customer data has been captured correctly. This ensures that your integration is functioning as intended.

4. Extracting Customer Data for ConvertKit

Now that you have captured the customer data in Pabbly Connect, the next step is to extract relevant information. Click on the plus button to add a new action and select BigCommerce again. This time, choose the action event ‘Get Customer by ID’.

Connect with your BigCommerce account again if prompted, and input the Customer ID that was captured in the previous step. Use the mapping feature in Pabbly Connect to pull the necessary details such as the customer’s name, email, and other relevant information.

Click ‘Save’ and send a test request to validate the data extraction. Verify that you have retrieved the correct customer details. Proceed to the next step of tagging the subscriber in ConvertKit.

Once you confirm that the data is correct, you can now set up the action to tag this customer as a subscriber in ConvertKit.

5. Tagging the Subscriber in ConvertKit

The final step involves tagging the subscriber in ConvertKit using Pabbly Connect. Click on the plus button to add another action and select ConvertKit. Choose the action event ‘Tag Subscriber’. Connect your ConvertKit account by entering the API Key and API Secret.

After connecting, you will see fields to map the subscriber’s email and first name. Use the mapping feature to pull the information from the previous steps. Select the appropriate tag that you created for your BigCommerce customers.

Click ‘Save’ and send a test request to confirm the tagging. Check your ConvertKit account to see if the subscriber has been tagged successfully. Repeat the process with another dummy customer to ensure reliability.

After successfully tagging the subscriber, your integration between BigCommerce and ConvertKit using Pabbly Connect is complete and functional.

Conclusion

Integrating BigCommerce with ConvertKit using Pabbly Connect allows you to automate the process of adding tags to subscribers when new customers are created. This seamless integration enhances your marketing efforts and ensures that your subscriber list is always up-to-date.
