2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

To create a new workflow in Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button on your dashboard. You will be prompted to name your workflow; for this example, we will name it ‘Share RSS Feeds to Discord.’ Select a folder to save your workflow, and then click ‘Create’ to proceed.

• Name your workflow appropriately for easy identification.
• Choose a folder to organize your workflows.
• Click on ‘Create’ to finalize the workflow setup.

After creating the workflow, you will see two sections: Trigger and Action. The Trigger defines when the automation starts, while the Action specifies what happens next. In this case, we will set RSS by Pabbly as our trigger and Discord as our action.

3. Setting Up RSS as the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

To set up the RSS trigger, select ‘RSS by Pabbly’ from the available trigger applications. Choose the trigger event as ‘New Item in Feed.’ This means that whenever a new item is added to your specified RSS feed, Pabbly Connect will capture this event.

Next, you will need to enter the feed URL from which you want to pull data. For this tutorial, we will use the NDTV Sports RSS feed. Copy the URL of the feed and paste it into the designated field in Pabbly Connect. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to confirm that the connection works and to fetch the latest feed item.

4. Configuring Discord as the Action in Pabbly Connect

Now that we have set up the RSS trigger, it is time to configure Discord as the action. Select Discord from the action applications and choose the action event ‘Send Channel Message HTML.’ This action will allow Pabbly Connect to send messages to your Discord channel automatically.

To connect Discord, you will need a webhook URL. Navigate to your Discord server settings, go to Integrations, and create a new webhook. Name your webhook, select the channel where you want the messages sent, and copy the webhook URL.

• Navigate to Discord server settings.
• Create a new webhook and name it appropriately.
• Select the channel for posting messages.

Paste the copied webhook URL back into Pabbly Connect and set up the message format. You can include a static message along with the dynamic RSS feed URL that will be sent to Discord.

5. Testing the Integration Between RSS and Discord

With everything set up, it’s time to test the integration. After configuring the message content in Pabbly Connect, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request.’ This will send a test message to your designated Discord channel. Check your Discord channel to confirm that the message appears as expected.

If successful, you will see the message with the RSS feed link posted in your Discord channel. This confirms that Pabbly Connect is effectively automating the process of sharing RSS feeds to Discord. From now on, any new RSS feed item will be automatically posted in your channel without any manual intervention.
