1. Overview of Post Integration with Let

Post integration with Let is a powerful way to automate your social media marketing. With this integration, you can connect your Instagram and Pinterest accounts seamlessly. This ensures that every new post on Instagram is automatically shared as a pin on Pinterest, saving you time and effort.

To achieve this, we will utilize Pabbly Connect. This tool allows you to build connections between various applications without the need for coding. By following the steps outlined in this tutorial, you can easily set up your automation.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

To begin the automation process, you need to create a new workflow in Pabbly Connect. First, log in to your Pabbly Connect account. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ option. You will be prompted to name your workflow; for this example, you can name it ‘Create Pinterest Pins from Instagram Post Automatically’.

After naming your workflow, select the appropriate folder for organization. For instance, you can create a folder called ‘Social Media Automations’. Once you’ve set this up, click on the ‘Create’ button to proceed.

• Name your workflow
• Select a folder for organization
• Click on ‘Create’

Now, you will see a blank workflow with two sections: Trigger and Action. The Trigger is the event that starts the workflow, while the Action is what happens as a result of that trigger. For this integration, the trigger will be a new post on Instagram, and the action will be to create a pin on Pinterest.

3. Setting Up Instagram as Trigger

To set up your trigger, you will select Instagram for Business as your application. Click on the trigger event and choose ‘New Post in My Account’. This ensures that every time you post something new on Instagram, it triggers the workflow.

Next, you will need to connect your Instagram account to Pabbly Connect. Click on ‘Connect with Instagram for Business’. If you are logged in to your Facebook account, it will automatically detect your Instagram account. Once connected, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to capture the latest post details.

• Select Instagram for Business as the trigger application
• Choose ‘New Post in My Account’ as the trigger event
• Connect your Instagram account

Once the connection is successful, you will receive the details of the last post made on your Instagram account. This information will be used in the next steps to create a pin on Pinterest.

4. Setting Up Pinterest as Action

After successfully setting up the trigger, the next step is to configure the action. For this, select Pinterest as your action application. The action event will be ‘Create a Pin’. This means every time a new post is made on Instagram, a corresponding pin will be created on Pinterest.

To build the connection, make sure you are logged in to your Pinterest account. Click on ‘Connect with Pinterest’ and authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Pinterest account. Once connected, you will need to select the board where the pins will be saved. For example, you can choose ‘Trendy Outfits’ as your board.

Finally, map the necessary fields such as the image URL, title, and description. You can use the data received from the Instagram trigger to fill these fields dynamically, ensuring that every new pin corresponds to the latest Instagram post.

5. Testing the Automation

Once you have completed the setup, it’s time to test your automation. Create a new post on your Instagram account. After posting, wait for approximately 10 minutes for Pabbly Connect to capture the new post details.

After the waiting period, check your Pinterest account to see if the pin has been created automatically. You should see the new pin reflecting the image, title, and description from your latest Instagram post. This confirms that the integration between Instagram and Pinterest is working perfectly.
