Accessing Pabbly Connect for WooCommerce Integration

To start with the integration of WooCommerce and Telegram, you need to access Pabbly Connect. Begin by visiting the Pabbly website and navigating to the Connect section. Here, you can either sign in if you already have an account or create a new one easily.

Once logged in, you will see the dashboard of Pabbly Connect. You can create a new workflow by clicking on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. This is where the integration process begins, allowing you to automate notifications for new WooCommerce orders.

Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

When creating a new workflow, name it something relevant like ‘WooCommerce to Telegram’. In this workflow, you will set WooCommerce as the trigger app. Select ‘New Order Created’ as the trigger event, which will initiate the workflow when a new order is placed in your WooCommerce store.

To ensure the trigger works correctly, you need to set up a webhook in your WooCommerce settings. This is done by going to the WooCommerce settings, navigating to the ‘Advanced’ tab, and clicking on ‘Webhooks’. Here, you will create a new webhook and input the delivery URL provided by Pabbly Connect.

• Name your webhook, for example, ‘WooCommerce to Telegram’.
• Set the status to active.
• Select ‘Order Created’ as the topic.
• Paste the delivery URL from Pabbly Connect into the URL field.

By saving this webhook, you confirm that WooCommerce is now integrated with Pabbly Connect, ready to send order data whenever a new order is created.

Testing the Integration with a Dummy Order

To test the integration, you will need to create a dummy order in WooCommerce. This can be done by navigating to the products section, selecting an item like a ‘OnePlus phone’, and adding it to the cart. Proceed to checkout and fill in the customer details, such as name, address, and email.

Once the order is placed, return to Pabbly Connect and click on the ‘Capture Webhook Response’ button to check if the data has been received. If successful, you will see all the order details captured, including customer name, address, and product details.

• Ensure that the customer name and product ordered are correctly displayed.
• Verify that all details are accurate for the next steps.

This confirms that the integration is working, and you can now set up the action to send a Telegram notification.

Sending Telegram Notifications with Pabbly Connect

After confirming that the data is captured, the next step is to send a notification to Telegram. In Pabbly Connect, click on the plus button to add an action app and select Telegram. Choose the action event as ‘Send a Text Message’ and connect it to your Telegram account using the bot token generated from BotFather.

To obtain the bot token, you need to create a new bot using BotFather on Telegram. After creating the bot, copy the token provided and paste it into Pabbly Connect to authenticate your connection.

Create a group in Telegram and add your bot to it. Get the chat ID by copying the group chat link and modifying it as instructed. Map the order details into the message format.

Once the message is constructed, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to send a test notification to your Telegram group. If successful, you will see the message appear in your Telegram app, confirming the integration is complete.

Verifying the Integration and Conclusion

To verify that everything is functioning correctly, create another dummy order in WooCommerce. This will help confirm that the notification system is reliable and efficient. As you place the order, check your Telegram group for the new notification.

If the notification appears as expected, the integration of WooCommerce with Telegram via Pabbly Connect is successfully established. This automation saves time and ensures that your team is promptly informed about new orders without manual effort.

In summary, using Pabbly Connect to integrate WooCommerce and Telegram allows for seamless notifications on new orders, enhancing operational efficiency. With just a few steps, you can automate your order notifications and keep your team updated in real-time.
