1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start integrating Cognito Forms with AWeber, you need to access Pabbly Connect. This platform allows you to automate tasks without coding. Begin by visiting the Pabbly Connect website and either sign in if you already have an account or sign up for free.

Once you create an account, you will receive 100 free tasks every month. This is a great way to explore the features of Pabbly Connect and test your automations. After signing in, you will be directed to the dashboard where you can create new workflows.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After accessing your Pabbly Connect dashboard, the next step is to create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button, which will prompt you to name your workflow and select a folder. For this integration, name it something like ‘Cognito Form Submission to AWeber’.

• Name your workflow appropriately.
• Select a suitable folder for organization.
• Click ‘Create’ to finalize the setup.

Now, you will see the main workflow screen with two sections: Triggers and Actions. Here, you will set up the trigger for when a new form is submitted in Cognito Forms, which will initiate the action of adding a subscriber in AWeber through Pabbly Connect.

3. Setting Up Cognito Forms as the Trigger

In the trigger section, select Cognito Forms as your application. Choose the trigger event as ‘New Entry’ to capture responses when a new form is submitted. This is crucial as it allows Pabbly Connect to listen for new submissions from your specified form.

Once selected, Pabbly Connect will provide you with a webhook URL. This URL needs to be inserted into your Cognito Forms settings to establish a connection. Navigate to your Cognito form settings and enable the option to post data to a website, pasting the webhook URL into the designated field.

4. Testing the Connection Between Cognito Forms and Pabbly Connect

After setting up the webhook, it’s time to test the connection. Submit a test entry in your Cognito form with dummy data. This action will trigger a response in Pabbly Connect, confirming that the integration is functioning correctly.

Once you submit the form, return to your Pabbly Connect dashboard. You should see the response captured, including all details such as name, email, and service type. This confirms that the data flow from Cognito Forms to Pabbly Connect is successful.

• Submit the form with random details.
• Check for the captured response in Pabbly Connect.
• Ensure all details are accurate in the response.

With this successful test, you can now proceed to set up the action that adds the new subscriber to AWeber.

5. Adding Subscribers to AWeber Using Pabbly Connect

In the action section of your workflow, select AWeber as your application and choose the action event ‘Add or Update Subscriber’. This will allow you to add the new lead captured from Cognito Forms directly to your AWeber list.

After selecting this, you will need to connect your AWeber account to Pabbly Connect. Click on the connect button and authorize Pabbly Connect to access your AWeber account. Once the connection is established, you will be able to map the fields from the Cognito Forms response to the AWeber subscriber fields.

Map the name, email, and other relevant details from the response. Select the appropriate list ID in AWeber. Test the action to ensure it works correctly.

After testing, check your AWeber account to confirm that the new subscriber has been added successfully. This completes the integration process, allowing you to automate the addition of subscribers from Cognito Forms to AWeber using Pabbly Connect.
