Automatically Send Instamojo Confirmation SMS to Customers via Gupshup

  • by

Let us discuss how you can integrate Instamojo with Gupshup and automatically send Instamojo payment confirmation SMS through Gupshup.
This automation requires a one-time setup, for which we will use Pabbly Connect.
We will link Instamojo with Pabbly Connect to check for a new sale or successful payment, capture full customer details and send these customers an SMS through Gupshup.

Steps to Automatically Send Instamojo Confirmation SMS to Customers via Gupshup

1. Sign In / Sign Up to Pabbly Connect and Create a Workflow
2. Establish a connection between Instamojo and Pabbly Connect
3. Setup Instamojo as the Action App to Get Full Details
4. Setup Gupshup as the Action App to Send Messages

Step 1:- Sign In / Sign Up to Pabbly Connect and Create a Workflow

A. Sign In / Sign Up

To begin this process, visit Pabbly Connect and create your account by clicking on the ‘Sign Up Free’ button. You can also click on Sign In if you already have an account.

Click on the Pabbly Connect ‘Access Now’ button

B. Create Workflow

To create a new workflow, click the ‘Create Workflow’ button.

Name your workflow, and click on ‘Create’.

Step 2:- Establish a connection between Instamojo and Pabbly Connect

We will now look at the steps through which we can establish a link between Instamojo and Pabbly Connect. This will help us capture data for each successful payment.

A. Trigger App

Trigger allows us to choose the application that will receive the data for Pabbly Connect. In our case, it would be Instamojo.

Expand the Trigger Step, choose ‘Instamojo’ as your Action App, and select ‘New Sale’ as an Action Event.

B. Webhook URL

A new Webhook URL will get generated. You will use this Webhook URL to create a connection with your Instamojo account. Copy the Webhook URL.

As soon as you Copy the Webhook URL, Pabbly Connect will start looking to capture data from Instamojo, as indicated by the rotating Waiting For Webhook Response button.

C. Connect Instamojo Account

To connect with your Instamojo account, go to your Instamojo dashboard and click on ‘Create New’.

Click on ‘Create Link’ under the Payment Link tile.

You will be prompted to Create a Payment Link. Select ‘Smart Link’, enter the Purpose of Payment, choose ‘Flat Pricing’ as your Smart Pricing Type, enter the Amount, and click on ‘Customize Link’.

Under the Update Payment Link, select ‘Smart Action’ > ‘Add Webhook’, paste the Webhook URL we copied earlier and click on ‘Done’. This will establish a link between Instamojo and Pabbly Connect.

We have successfully generated a payment link and can use this link to collect payments. We have also established a connection between Instamojo and Pabbly Connect using the Webhook URL.

D. Test the Connection

You can now use this payment link to make a dummy transaction and check if your connection is successful or not.
Copy, paste and open the payment link into an Incognito Tab.

Fill up the payment form, click on ‘Next’ and make the payment.

Switch back to Pabbly Connect, and expand Response Received. If the payment is successful, its status will be visible as such, along with the Payment ID.

Step 3:- Setup Instamojo as the Action App to Get Full Details

Action allows us to choose the application that will get executed by the workflow trigger.
You will notice that the data we captured from Instamojo does not contain full details of the customer. To get these details, we have to set up Instamojo as our Action App.

A. Action App

Choose ‘Instamojo’ as the Action App, select ‘Get Payment Details’ as an Action Event, and click on ‘Connect’.

B. Connect Instamojo Account

To connect with your Instamojo account, select ‘Add New Connection’. You will be asked to enter your Private API Key and Private Auth Token. To find them, click on ‘API & Plugins’

You will be redirected to your Instamojo account. Copy the Private API Key and Private Auth Token.

Paste both in their respective fields, and click on ‘Save’.

C. Map Payment ID

Since we have already captured the Payment ID in Trigger Step, all we need is to map it from above. Mapping ensures our data remains dynamic and changes as per the received responses.

Map the Payment ID from the step above, and click on ‘Save & Send Test Request’.

You will receive a response containing the payment details.

Step 4:- Setup Gupshup as the Action App to Send Messages

We essentially want to send a Payment Confirmation SMS through Gupshup. Therefore we will now set up Gupshup as our Action App.
Add another Action Step to your workflow by clicking the ‘+’ button.

A. Action App

Choose ‘Gupshup’ as the Action App, select ‘Send Message’ as an Action Event, and click on ‘Connect’.

B. Connect Gupshup Account

To connect with your Gupshup account, select ‘Add New Connection’. You will be asked to enter your User Id and Password.

Enter your Gupshup account User ID and Password, and click on ‘Save’.

C. Enter / Map Necessary Fields

Map the Phone Number from the step above. Make sure to add 91 as its prefix.

Copy the DLT approved template from your Gupshup account, and paste it into its given field.

Enter your DLT Template ID, and click on ‘Save & Send Test Request’.

As soon as you click on Save & Send Test Request, the customer will receive a message.

Our automation is complete. We have successfully integrated Instamojo with Gupshup. Now each new customer who makes a successful Instamojo payment will receive an SMS through Gupshup automatically.
