Once logged in, navigate to the Pabbly Connect dashboard. Here, you can create a new workflow that will automate the process of sharing your Instagram posts on LinkedIn. Follow the steps to set up your workflow effectively.

2. Creating Your Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After accessing your Pabbly Connect dashboard, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located at the top right corner. In the dialog box that appears, name your workflow something descriptive, such as ‘Publish Instagram Post to LinkedIn’. You can also choose a folder to save this workflow for better organization.

• Select a descriptive name for your workflow.
• Choose a folder to keep your workflows organized.
• Click ‘Create’ to proceed to the next step.

Once you have created the workflow, you will be taken to a screen where you can set up triggers and actions. This is where Pabbly Connect shines, allowing you to define how your Instagram posts will trigger actions on LinkedIn.

3. Setting Up Trigger and Action for Instagram and LinkedIn

In this step, you will set up Instagram as your trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Select ‘Instagram for Business’ as the trigger app and choose the event ‘New Media Posted’. This means that every time you post something new on Instagram, it will trigger the workflow. using Pabbly Connect

• Choose ‘New Media Posted’ as the trigger event.
• Set LinkedIn as the action application with ‘Share an Article or URL’.

With the trigger and action set, Pabbly Connect will now automate the process of sharing new Instagram posts on LinkedIn, enhancing your marketing efforts.

Once connected, you will see a confirmation message indicating that Instagram is successfully linked with Pabbly Connect. Repeat this process for LinkedIn by clicking on the ‘Connect’ button in the action section and logging into your LinkedIn account. This will establish the necessary connections for automation.

5. Testing and Verifying the Integration

After connecting both applications, it’s time to test your integration. Create a new post on Instagram, ensuring it has a caption and an image. Once published, return to Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This action will check for new data from your Instagram account. using Pabbly Connect
