1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for WooCommerce and Flodesk Integration

To start integrating WooCommerce with Flodesk, you need to access Pabbly Connect. This platform allows you to automate the addition of customers from your WooCommerce store as subscribers in Flodesk.

Visit the Pabbly Connect homepage by entering the URL in your browser. If you are a new user, click on ‘Sign Up Free’ to create an account. Existing users can simply click on ‘Sign In’. Once logged in, you will be directed to the dashboard where you can initiate the integration process.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Creating a workflow in Pabbly Connect is essential for setting up the automation. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button found in the top right corner of the dashboard. Name your workflow, for example, ‘Create WooCommerce Customer as Flodesk Subscriber in Segment’ and select a folder for organization.

• Click on ‘Create’ to finalize your new workflow.
• Understand the trigger-action principle: triggers initiate the workflow, while actions are the responses.
• Select WooCommerce as your trigger application to start the automation.

After setting up the workflow, you will now proceed to define the trigger event that will initiate the process.

3. Setting Up the Trigger with WooCommerce

In this step, you will configure the trigger for your workflow. Select ‘WooCommerce’ as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect and choose the event ‘New Order Created’. This ensures that whenever a new order is placed, the workflow will be activated.

Upon selecting the trigger event, you will receive a webhook URL. This URL will be used to connect your WooCommerce account with Pabbly Connect. Copy this URL and navigate to your WordPress WooCommerce settings.

• In your WordPress dashboard, go to WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced > Webhooks.
• Click on ‘Add Webhook’ and fill in the required details such as Name, Status (Active), and Topic (Order Created).
• Paste the webhook URL from Pabbly Connect into the Delivery URL field and save the webhook.

Once the webhook is saved, you have successfully connected WooCommerce with Pabbly Connect, and now you can proceed to test the integration.

4. Testing the Setup and Capturing the Webhook Response

To ensure that everything is working correctly, you will need to test the setup. Go back to your Pabbly Connect workflow and click on ‘Recapture Webhook Response’. This will allow you to capture the data sent from WooCommerce when a new order is placed.

To generate a test order, navigate back to your WooCommerce store, select a product, and proceed to checkout. Fill in the necessary details and place the order. Once the order is placed, return to Pabbly Connect and wait for the webhook response to be captured.

You should see a successful response indicating that the order has been received. This response will include customer details such as name, email, and order information.

With the successful capture of the webhook response, you are now ready to proceed to the next step of adding the customer as a subscriber in Flodesk.

5. Adding the Customer as a Flodesk Subscriber

Now that you have successfully set up the trigger, it’s time to add the customer as a subscriber in Flodesk. In Pabbly Connect, select Flodesk as the action application and choose the event ‘Create or Update Subscriber’. This action will ensure that the customer from WooCommerce is added to your Flodesk account.

You will need to connect your Flodesk account to Pabbly Connect. Click on ‘Connect’ and log in to your Flodesk account. Once connected, you can map the fields from the WooCommerce order response to the Flodesk subscriber fields.

Map the email address, first name, and last name fields from the WooCommerce data to Flodesk. Choose whether to send opt-in confirmation emails to subscribers.

After mapping the fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to finalize the process. You should see a successful response indicating that the subscriber has been added to Flodesk. This completes the integration, allowing you to automatically add WooCommerce customers as Flodesk subscribers.
