1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for YouTube and X Integration

To start automating the sharing of YouTube videos on X, first, access Pabbly Connect. Open your browser and search for Pabbly Connect to reach its landing page. Here, you can either sign in if you already have an account or sign up for free if you are a new user.

Once logged in, you will see the dashboard of Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to begin setting up your automation. This is where you will define how your YouTube videos will be shared as tweets on X.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In Pabbly Connect, creating a new workflow is essential for your automation. Name your workflow something descriptive, like ‘Share YouTube Videos on X Automatically’. Then, select the folder where you want to save this workflow.

• Click on ‘Create’ after selecting the folder.
• You will see the trigger and action boxes.
• This is where you will set up the integration between YouTube and X.

Now, you need to set up your trigger. The trigger application will be YouTube, and you’ll need to select the trigger event as ‘New Video in Channel’. This event will initiate the workflow every time a new video is uploaded to your YouTube channel.

3. Setting Up Trigger in Pabbly Connect

To configure the trigger, search for YouTube in the trigger application section of Pabbly Connect. After selecting it, choose the event ‘New Video in Channel with Video URL’. This will ensure the workflow is activated each time you upload a video.

Next, you will need to connect your YouTube account to Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Connect’ button and then select ‘Add New Connection’. Follow the prompts to authorize Pabbly Connect to access your YouTube account. After successful connection, you’ll need to select your channel ID.

• Return to your YouTube account to find your channel ID.
• Once selected, click on ‘Save & Test’ to verify the connection.
• You should receive a response with the video details.

After receiving the response, you can proceed to set up the action that will share your video on X.

4. Setting Up Action to Post on X Using Pabbly Connect

Now that your trigger is set, it’s time to configure the action in Pabbly Connect. Search for X (formerly known as Twitter) in the action application section. Select the action event ‘Create Tweet’ to set up the tweet that will be posted automatically.

After selecting the action, connect your X account to Pabbly Connect by clicking on ‘Connect’ and then ‘Add New Connection’. You will need to provide your client ID and client secret, which you can obtain from the X developer portal.

Create a new app in the developer portal to get these credentials. Make sure to set the permissions for read and write access. Copy the callback URL from Pabbly Connect to the developer portal.

After saving the credentials, authorize the app to finalize the connection.

5. Mapping Data and Finalizing the Workflow in Pabbly Connect

With your action set up, the next step is to map the data that will be included in your tweet. In Pabbly Connect, you can create a message for your tweet that includes the video title and URL. Use the mapping feature to pull these details from the YouTube trigger response.

For example, your tweet message could be: ‘New video alert! Check out our latest video on [Video Title] [Video URL]’. This ensures that every time a new video is uploaded, the correct information is dynamically included in the tweet.

Test the integration by clicking on ‘Save & Test’. Check your X account to see if the tweet was created successfully. Ensure all details are correct and the video link is functional.

By following these steps in Pabbly Connect, you will have successfully set up an automation that shares your YouTube videos on X whenever you upload a new video.
