Starting a new venture? Need to upgrade your web or mobile app? RapidDev builds Bubble apps with your growth in mind.
In this guide, I'll walk you through the detailed steps on how to integrate Bubble.io with Oberlo. Please note that direct integration between Bubble.io and Oberlo isn't available at the moment, so we would need to use a third-party service like Integromat, Zapier, or Automate.io for this integration.
Here are the steps:
First, navigate to Zapier website and log in to your account. If you don't have a Zapier account, make sure to register for one.
After logging in, click on 'Make a Zap!' at the top of the dashboard.
For the Trigger app, select "Oberlo". You will have to connect and authenticate your Oberlo account to Zapier.
Now choose a trigger. This will be an event in Oberlo that will start the Zap. You might want to select "New Product" or "New Order". After selecting, click "Continue".
Now, test your trigger by clicking on "Test & Continue".
After the trigger is set up, it's time to set the Action App. Here, search for 'Webhooks' by Zapier and select it.
Then, select the action event as “POST”. Here, Zapier will create a new resource using the information provided by the action settings
Now, you have to set up the endpoint URL. This is where you obtain webhook URL from Bubble.io:
Step 3c (I): Log in to your Bubble.io account.
Step 3c (II): Navigate to the Data Tab and select API from the sub-menu.
Step 3c (III): Here, you click on 'Get this endpoint', which will provide the API URL.
Step 3d:
After having the endpoint URL, go back to Zapier and paste this URL in the URL field.
In Data field, you will map the data you want to send from Oberlo to Bubble.io.
Once everything is set, click on "Continue" and then on "Test & Continue". If the test is successful, your setup is correct. If it's not, you have to check your settings.
After ensuring that the test is successful, now go to the bottom of the page and enable the Zap by clicking on the switch button.
And voila! You have now integrated Bubble.io with Oberlo. By setting up this integration, whenever the trigger event happens in Oberlo, the action will happen automatically in Bubble.io through Zapier.
