Sometimes, our main integration is blocked due some underlying factor outside of Fomo's control, this could be your hosting provider, server configurations, combination of wordpress and/or woocommerce versions, firewalls, etc).
If you have already tried our main integration, then this article outlines an alternative way to integrate WooCommerce with Fomo.
Step 1
Create webhook URL. Search for "webhook" in integrations and click “connect with Webhook”. Copy the Webhook URL.
Step 2
Add the Webhook URL to your woocommerce admin. Go WooCommerce > Settings > Webhooks > Add new webhook.
Name: can be anything - “Fomo Webhook” works
Status: Active
Topic: Order Created
Delivery URL: Paste the Webook URL here
Secret: leave blank
Hit Save!
Step 3
Create a new order with at least one product and billing name & address.
Step 4
Go back to Webhook integration in Fomo to select and map variables from your new order.
Step 5
Edit template, based on the variables set above, we can use {{ first_name }} in {{ city }} just bought {{ title }} {{time_ago}}
Set image, you can use a default image icon or upload your own. Also, you can toggle on Avatar image if you have mapped email_address (which will try to use the email's gravatar)
Step 6
Wait for your next order (or submit another test order) and you are done! You should see new events when orders are created.
Limitations
- Only the first bought item will be used to create an event.
- This setup does not “pull” in the product image, so a default image or avatar should be used.
