1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start integrating Google Docs and WordPress, you need to access Pabbly Connect. This platform enables seamless automation between various applications. If you are a new user, you can sign up for free and get 100 tasks monthly.

Once signed in, navigate to the Pabbly Connect dashboard. Here, you can create a new workflow by clicking on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. This is where your integration process begins.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In the workflow creation dialog, name your workflow, for instance, ‘Create WordPress Post from Google Docs’. You can organize this workflow into a specific folder, like WordPress, for better management.

• Click on ‘Create’ to proceed.
• This will take you to the trigger and action setup window.

In this window, you will set up your trigger as Google Docs and your action as WordPress. This setup is crucial as it dictates how data flows between the two applications using Pabbly Connect.

3. Setting Up Trigger for Google Docs

The trigger application is Google Docs, and the event is ‘New Document’. This means that every time a new document is created in Google Docs, it will trigger the action to create a post in WordPress.

• Select Google Docs from the trigger application dropdown.
• Choose the trigger event as ‘New Document’.

After setting up the trigger, you will need to connect your Google Docs account with Pabbly Connect. Click on ‘Connect’, and sign in with your Google account. This connection allows Pabbly Connect to access your Google Docs data.

4. Setting Up Action for WordPress

Next, set up the action application as WordPress with the event ‘Create Post’. This action will create a new post in your WordPress account whenever a new document is detected in Google Docs.

Select WordPress as the action application. Choose the action event as ‘Create Post’.

To establish the connection, provide your WordPress username, password, and base URL. Click on ‘Connect’ and save the connection. This integration is essential for Pabbly Connect to communicate with your WordPress account.

5. Testing the Integration

After setting up both trigger and action, it’s time to test the integration. Create a new Google Document with your article’s title and content. Then, return to Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will capture the new document’s details.

Check the response in Pabbly Connect to ensure it has captured the title and content correctly. If everything is set up correctly, you can now map the title and content to create the WordPress post.

Once you send a test request, navigate to your WordPress account to confirm that the post has been created successfully. This confirms that your integration between Google Docs and WordPress via Pabbly Connect is functioning as intended.
