Now that we have our trigger set, it’s time to set up the actions in Pabbly Connect. First, we will share the video on Reddit. Select Reddit as your action application and choose the action event ‘Submit a Link Post’.

Connect to your Reddit account by clicking on ‘Connect’ and following the authorization process. Once connected, fill in the required fields like title, subreddit name, and URL. Use the dynamic data from the previous step to map the video title and URL.

Title: ‘Hello folks, my new YouTube video is out!’. Subreddit: Enter your specific subreddit name. URL: Map the video URL from the previous response.

Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to create the post on Reddit. You should see the confirmation of the post being created successfully.

Finally, we will share the same video on Discord using Pabbly Connect. Add another action step and select Discord as your action application. Choose the action event ‘Send Channel Message HTML’.

To connect Discord, you will need to enter a webhook URL. This requires creating a webhook in your Discord server settings. Once you have the webhook URL, paste it into Pabbly Connect.

Message: ‘Hello folks, my new YouTube video on [Video Title] is out!’. Use
HTML tags to format your message.

After setting up the message, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’. You should see a confirmation that the message was sent to your Discord channel successfully, completing the automation.
