1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for YouTube and LinkedIn Integration

To share your YouTube videos on LinkedIn automatically, you need to set up Pabbly Connect. This powerful integration tool allows you to connect your YouTube and LinkedIn accounts seamlessly. Start by creating an account on Pabbly Connect, which can be done quickly and easily.

Once logged in, navigate to the Pabbly Connect dashboard. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to begin. You’ll need to name your workflow, for instance, ‘Share YouTube Videos on LinkedIn Automatically’. After naming, select the appropriate folder for your workflow and click on ‘Create’ to proceed.

2. Selecting YouTube and LinkedIn Applications in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will select the applications you want to integrate using Pabbly Connect. Start by choosing YouTube as your trigger application. This means that whenever a new video is uploaded to your YouTube channel, it will trigger an action in LinkedIn.

• Select ‘YouTube’ as the trigger app.
• Choose the trigger event ‘New Video in Channel’.
• Connect your YouTube account by clicking on ‘Add New Connection’.

After connecting YouTube, select LinkedIn as your action application. This setup allows you to post the video link to your LinkedIn account whenever a new video is uploaded. Click on the action event ‘Share an Article or URL’ and connect your LinkedIn account similarly.

3. Configuring Trigger and Action in Pabbly Connect

With both applications selected, it’s time to configure the trigger and action in Pabbly Connect. Start with the YouTube trigger. After selecting the ‘New Video in Channel’ event, you will need to test the connection. This step ensures that Pabbly Connect can retrieve data from your YouTube channel.

Next, upload a test video to your YouTube channel. Once uploaded, return to Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This action retrieves the video details, including the URL, title, and description, confirming that the connection works properly.

4. Mapping Data for LinkedIn Post

Now that your YouTube trigger is set up, you need to map the retrieved data to your LinkedIn post. In the LinkedIn action step within Pabbly Connect, you will see various fields such as commentary, content source URL, and title. This is where you will input the data from your YouTube video.

• Map the video title to the title field.
• Map the video description to the commentary field.
• Use the video URL as the content source URL.

Once all necessary fields are filled, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to test the integration. This step ensures that the LinkedIn post will be created with the correct information whenever a new video is uploaded to your YouTube channel.

5. Finalizing Your YouTube to LinkedIn Integration

After testing the integration, your workflow is almost complete. Every time you upload a new video to your YouTube channel, Pabbly Connect will automatically share it on your LinkedIn page. This automation saves time and ensures that your LinkedIn followers are always updated with your latest content.

To finalize, simply save your workflow and monitor its performance. You can always return to Pabbly Connect to make adjustments or troubleshoot any issues. Enjoy the benefits of seamless integration between YouTube and LinkedIn!
