1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Instagram and Google Integration

To start the integration process, access Pabbly Connect by opening your browser and searching for ‘Pabbly.com/connect’. This powerful tool allows you to automate tasks between different applications, making it essential for our Instagram and Google Business integration.

If you do not have an account, click on the ‘Sign up for free’ button, which allows you to create an account in just two minutes. Once logged in, you will be directed to the Pabbly Connect dashboard, where you can create workflows for your automation needs.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this section, we will create a new workflow in Pabbly Connect to automate the uploading of Instagram posts to your Google Business Profile. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button on the dashboard.

• Name your workflow something descriptive, like ‘Upload Instagram Post to Google Business Profile’.
• Select a folder to save your workflow.
• Click on ‘Create’ to proceed.

After creating the workflow, you will see two main sections: Trigger and Action. The Trigger will specify when the automation starts, and the Action will define what happens next.

3. Setting Up Trigger for Instagram

In this step, we will set up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect. Choose Instagram as your Trigger application by searching for it in the app list. Next, select the Trigger event as ‘New Media Posted in My Account’.

To connect your Instagram account, click on ‘Connect’ and then ‘Add New Connection’. You will need to authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Instagram account. After connecting, you can create a new post on Instagram and check if the Trigger works correctly.

4. Filtering Instagram Posts Before Uploading

Next, we need to set up a filter in Pabbly Connect to ensure that only images are uploaded to Google Business Profile. This step is crucial for maintaining the quality of your posts.

• Select ‘Filter by Pabbly’ as your action application.
• Choose ‘Filter Values’ as your action event.
• Set the condition to check if the media type is equal to ‘image’.

Once the filter is set up, click on ‘Save and Send Test’ to see if the condition is met. A successful response indicates that the media type is indeed an image, allowing the workflow to proceed to the next action.

5. Uploading Instagram Post to Google Business Profile

The final step is to set up the Action in Pabbly Connect to upload the Instagram post to your Google Business Profile. Search for Google Business Profile in the action applications and select it.

Choose ‘Upload Media Photo’ as your action event. Connect your Google Business Profile by clicking on ‘Connect’ and selecting your account. Fill in the required fields such as location and source URL using the media URL from your Instagram response.

Click on ‘Save and Send Test’ to finalize the integration. If successful, you will see the new Instagram post appear in your Google Business Profile, confirming that the automation is working correctly.
