To begin automating your social media posts, first, access Pabbly Connect. You can reach the dashboard by clicking the link provided in the video description. If you are an existing user, simply sign in; if not, sign up to create an account.

Upon creating your account, you will receive 100 free tasks. After logging in, you will see the Pabbly Connect dashboard. On the right-hand side, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ tab to start your integration process.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After clicking ‘Create Workflow’, a dialog box will appear where you can name your workflow. For this example, name it something relevant, like ‘Instagram to Social Media Automation’. Click on ‘Create’ to proceed.

In this new window, you will encounter two key sections: Trigger and Action. The trigger indicates an event that starts the workflow, while the action defines what happens as a result. For our case, the trigger will be a new post on Instagram.

• Select ‘Instagram for Business’ as your trigger application.
• Choose ‘New Media Posted’ as the trigger event.
• Click on ‘Connect’ to establish the connection.

Once you have set the trigger, Pabbly Connect will facilitate the connection to your Instagram account, allowing you to automate the posting process seamlessly.

3. Setting Up Instagram Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will connect your Instagram for Business account to Pabbly Connect. Click on ‘Add New Connection’ and follow the prompts to connect your Instagram account.

After successfully connecting, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This action retrieves the most recent post from your Instagram account, confirming that the trigger is working correctly. You should see the details of the last post, including its caption and media type.

• Verify that the correct Instagram account is displayed.
• Ensure that the media type is accurately captured (image or video).
• Check for the correct caption and media URL.

Once verified, you can proceed to the next step of integrating other social media platforms using Pabbly Connect.

4. Integrating Twitter with Pabbly Connect

Next, you will set up Twitter as an action application in Pabbly Connect. Select Twitter and choose the action event as ‘Create Tweet’. Click ‘Connect’ to link your Twitter account.

For this connection, you will need your Twitter API credentials. Follow the provided link to the Twitter Developer portal to generate your Client ID and Client Secret. Copy these credentials back into Pabbly Connect and click ‘Save’.

Enter your Client ID and Client Secret. Authorize the app to access your Twitter account. Map the Instagram caption and media URL for the tweet.

After mapping the necessary fields, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to confirm that your tweet is created successfully. This integration allows you to automatically post your Instagram content to Twitter through Pabbly Connect.

5. Integrating LinkedIn and Facebook with Pabbly Connect

Now that you have integrated Twitter, it’s time to add LinkedIn and Facebook. For LinkedIn, select it as your next action application and choose ‘Share an Article or URL’ as the action event. Connect your LinkedIn account similarly to how you did with Twitter.

After connecting, fill in the required fields such as the author name and media URL. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure the LinkedIn post is created successfully. Now, proceed to integrate Facebook using the router feature in Pabbly Connect.

Select Facebook as the final action application. Choose the appropriate action based on media type (video or image). Map the media URL and description for the Facebook post.

Once all fields are filled, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to finalize the integration. This step completes the automation of posting your Instagram content across multiple platforms using Pabbly Connect.
