If you are a new user, click on the ‘Sign Up for Free’ button to create an account. Existing users can simply sign in. Once logged in, you will have access to your dashboard where you can manage your workflows.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After logging into Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located in the top right corner. A dialog box will appear asking for a workflow name. Enter ‘Share WordPress Post on Reddit’ and choose a folder to save your workflow.

• Provide a descriptive name for your workflow.
• Select the appropriate folder for organization.

After naming your workflow, you will see two windows for trigger and action. Select WordPress as your trigger application and Reddit as your action application. This setup will ensure that whenever a new post is published on WordPress, it will automatically be shared on Reddit.

3. Setting Up the Trigger for New WordPress Posts

In this step, you will configure the trigger in Pabbly Connect. Select WordPress as your trigger application and choose ‘New Post Published’ as the trigger event. This event will start the automation process whenever a new post is published.

You will be provided with a webhook URL. Copy this URL as it will be used to connect your WordPress account with Pabbly Connect. Go to your WordPress dashboard, navigate to the plugins section, and install the ‘WP Webhooks’ plugin if not already installed.

• Navigate to the plugin section in WordPress.
• Install and activate the WP Webhooks plugin.

After activating the plugin, go to the settings and select ‘Send Data’. Here, choose ‘Post Created’ as your trigger option and paste the copied webhook URL. This will enable communication between WordPress and Pabbly Connect.

4. Testing the Connection Between WordPress and Pabbly Connect

Once the webhook is set up, return to Pabbly Connect. You will see a message indicating that it is waiting for a webhook response. This means you need to create a test post in your WordPress account to ensure everything is connected properly.

Create a new post in WordPress, give it a title and some content, and click on ‘Publish’. After publishing, go back to Pabbly Connect to check if the response has been received successfully. You should see the details of the post, including the link, status, title, and content.

Create a new post with a unique title and content. Ensure that the post is published to receive a response in Pabbly Connect.

If the response is received, it confirms that the integration between WordPress and Pabbly Connect is successful, and you can proceed to set up the action for Reddit.

5. Creating the Reddit Post Using Pabbly Connect

Now that you have successfully set up the trigger, it’s time to create a post on Reddit using the response received from WordPress. In Pabbly Connect, select Reddit as your action application and choose ‘Submit a Text Post’ as the action event.

Connect your Reddit account with Pabbly Connect by either using an existing connection or creating a new one. Once connected, you will need to fill in the details for the Reddit post. For the title, map the title from the previous step to ensure it updates automatically with each new post.

Map the title from the WordPress post to the Reddit post. Enter the subreddit name where you want to post.

After filling in all required fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. If successful, you will receive a response indicating that the post has been created on Reddit. Check your Reddit account to confirm that the post appears in the selected subreddit.
