To start using Pabbly Connect, navigate to the Pabbly homepage and sign in or create a new account. Once you are logged in, access the dashboard to begin creating your workflow.

• Select a folder for your workflow or create a new one as needed.

After creating your workflow, you will need to set up the trigger. Select ‘RSS by Pabbly’ as your trigger application and choose ‘New Item in Feed’ as the trigger event. This setting will allow Pabbly Connect to monitor the RSS feed for new updates.

3. Configuring the RSS Feed in Pabbly Connect

Next, you will need to enter the RSS feed URL from your chosen source, such as Times of India. Ensure that the feed URL corresponds to the sports category to receive relevant updates.

To configure the feed URL, follow these steps:

• Copy the RSS feed URL from the Times of India sports section.
• Paste the URL into the feed URL field in Pabbly Connect.
• Select the filter type as ‘Default’.

After entering the feed URL and selecting the filter type, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify the connection. If successful, you will receive a response containing the latest RSS feed details, confirming that your trigger is correctly set up.

Once your RSS trigger is set up, the next step is to configure the action, which involves connecting your Discord channel. In Pabbly Connect, select Discord as your action application.

Choose the action event as ‘Send Channel Message (HTML)’. To establish the connection, you will need to provide a webhook URL from your Discord channel. Here’s how to get it:

Go to your Discord channel settings and select ‘Integrations’. Click on ‘View Webhooks’ and create a new webhook. Copy the generated webhook URL and paste it into Pabbly Connect.

After entering the webhook URL, you can customize the message that will be sent to your Discord channel. Use dynamic mapping to include the link from the RSS feed in your message.

5. Finalizing the Integration and Testing

To finalize your integration in Pabbly Connect, ensure all fields are filled correctly. You can enter a custom message such as ‘Hello sports champions, check out this new RSS feed post!’ and map the link dynamically.

Once everything is set, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to send a test message to your Discord channel. Check your Discord channel to confirm that the message has been received successfully. If the test is successful, your integration is complete!

With this setup, every time a new RSS item is published, it will automatically be posted to your Discord channel, keeping your community updated effortlessly. This integration showcases the power of Pabbly Connect in automating workflows across different platforms.
