How to integrate Pabbly Connect within your Graphy course platform?

This article gives a step-by-step process to integrate Pabbly Connect within your course platform.

Pabbly Connect is the web platform that allows you to connect the third-party apps you use for your online education business to your Graphy platform. By connecting these apps you can easily automate tedious tasks such as accepting one-time and recurring payments, creating and sending invoices, recovering failed payments and transactions, and more.

Example: You can connect your Gmail account or email marketing tools like MailChimp with your Graphy platform for the events like sending an E-mail to every new learner.

Please note that you can create up to 100 tasks per month on Pabbly Connect on its free plan. Beyond that, you can purchase a subscription of your choice.

Workflow, Triggers & Actions

In simple words, Workflow is a task that you create in order to connect your Graphy platform with an App. For example, the event of automatically sending a welcome e-mail to your new learner via Mailchimp is a Workflow. 

A Trigger is an event in your Graphy platform app that begins with the Workflow. Once you set up a Workflow, Pabbly Connect will monitor your Graphy platform for that event.

For example, the workflow is to add an e-mail subscriber to your E-mail list via Mailchimp every time a new learner signs up. A trigger will occur the moment any new learner signs up, & Pabbly Connect sends the learners' data from Graphy to Mailchimp.

An Action is an event that completes the Workflow. In other words, actions are the events that require Pabbly Connect to monitor third-party apps & take action via Graphy.

For example, if you want Pabbly Connect to automatically assign learners the course via the Graphy platform when their name is entered in the google sheets, that’s an action
