To start the integration process using Pabbly Connect, you first need to open your web browser and navigate to the Pabbly Connect website.

After signing in, click on the ‘Access Now’ button under the Pabbly Connect section. This action will take you to the Pabbly Connect dashboard where you can create your workflow. For this integration, you will be connecting WordPress, Webinar Kit, and WhatsApp Cloud API.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In your Pabbly Connect dashboard, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. A pop-up window will appear asking you to name your workflow; you can name it something like ‘Webinar Registration from WordPress User & WhatsApp Notification’. Select the appropriate folder for saving this workflow. using Pabbly Connect

• Click on the ‘Create’ button to proceed.
• You will see two boxes labeled ‘Trigger’ and ‘Action’.
• Set up the Trigger by selecting WordPress as your application.

Next, choose the trigger event, which in this case is ‘User Registers’. This will allow Pabbly Connect to capture new user registrations from your WordPress site.

3. Connecting WordPress to Pabbly Connect

To connect WordPress with Pabbly Connect, you will need a webhook URL. After selecting the trigger event, copy the provided webhook URL. Go to your WordPress account and navigate to the Plugins section. Here, you will need to install the WP Webhook plugin if you haven’t already.

• Once installed, go to the settings of the WP Webhook plugin.
• In the ‘Send Data’ section, select ‘User Created’ and add a new webhook URL.
• Paste the copied webhook URL and give it a name like ‘Webinar Registrant’.

After saving the settings, go back to Pabbly Connect. Your webhook should be ready to receive data from WordPress whenever a new user registers.

4. Setting Up Webinar Kit Integration

Now that WordPress is connected to Pabbly Connect, the next step is to set up the action for Webinar Kit. In the action application dropdown, search for and select ‘Webinar Kit’. Choose the action event ‘New Webinar Registration’ to register users automatically into your webinar.

To connect Webinar Kit with Pabbly Connect, you will need an API token. Go to your Webinar Kit account, navigate to settings, and find the API section. Generate an API key and copy it back to Pabbly Connect.

Paste the API key into the token field in Pabbly Connect. Select the Webinar ID for the webinar where you want to register the new users. Map the user details received from WordPress into the corresponding fields for registration.

This mapping allows Pabbly Connect to use the user’s information from WordPress to create a new registrant in Webinar Kit automatically.

5. Sending WhatsApp Notifications

The final step involves sending a WhatsApp notification to the newly registered user. In Pabbly Connect, add another action step and select ‘WhatsApp Cloud API’ as the application. Choose the action event ‘Send Template Message’ to notify users about their registration. using Pabbly Connect

For connecting WhatsApp Cloud API, you will need to provide your access token, phone number ID, and WhatsApp Business Account ID. These can be found in your WhatsApp Cloud API account. Copy these details and paste them into the corresponding fields in Pabbly Connect.

Select the template you created for the WhatsApp message. Map the recipient’s mobile number and personalize the message using the variables you set up. Click ‘Save and Send Test’ to ensure everything is working correctly.

Once you receive a positive response, your integration is complete. Now, every time a new user registers on WordPress, they will automatically be added to your webinar and receive a WhatsApp notification.
