Sending emails in Pabbly from a Wordpress button.

Hi

I have a form in Wordpress that collects email addresses. There is a button on this form which submits the form/info. The emails are then collected in a Google Sheet.

I would like to add some additional functionality to this submit button which would then pass this email address to Pabbly where I hope to be able to use Pabbly to send an email to this address AND delay the sending of this email.

That is, user enters email in the Wordpress form - form sends email address to Pabbly - Pabbly sends a standard reply to this email after a (10 minute) delay.

Is this possible?

Thanks

Hello @ChrisProm,

Thank you for sharing the details.

Yes, your use case is absolutely possible.

In WordPress, you can configure the form/button to send the submitted data (email address) to a Webhook URL in Pabbly Connect on click. Then in your workflow:

1. Use Webhook as the trigger
2. Add a Delay step (e.g., 10 minutes)
3. Add an email action (such as Gmail/SMTP) to send the response

This will allow you to capture the email and send a delayed response as required.

Hi Preeti

I have set up a Webhook as a trigger (see screenshot one) and then added this webhook URL to my form in Wordpress (see screenshot two).....however the Pabbly trigger setup constantly says "waiting for Webhook Response". Can you see what I am doing wrong??

Thanks

Chris

Based on your screenshot, the setup appears to be correct. Please note that Webhook by Pabbly is based on descriptive webhooks—if the data is sent from the source application, your workflow will be triggered and the response will be captured. If the data is not sent from the source application, then it will not trigger.

We suggest you try connecting your form to webhook.site and check whether you are receiving data there. If you do not receive data there as well, please contact the support team of the plugin you are using to capture the form responses and ask why the data is not being sent to the webhook.
