1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To start automating the sharing of your LinkedIn company page posts from a new WordPress blog, first access Pabbly Connect. Open your browser and navigate to the Pabbly Connect landing page by entering the URL. Here, you will see options to sign up or sign in.

If you are new, click on the ‘Sign Up Free’ button to create your account. Existing users can sign in directly. Once logged in, you will reach the Pabbly Connect dashboard where you can create your automation workflow.

2. Creating the Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will create a workflow in Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and name your workflow something like ‘WordPress to LinkedIn Automation’. Select the appropriate folder for your workflow and click ‘Create’.

Upon creation, the workflow interface will display two sections: the Trigger and Action windows. The Trigger window is where you will set up the trigger event that initiates the automation.

• Select ‘WordPress’ as the app in the Trigger window.
• Set the Trigger Event to ‘New Post Publish’.
• Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.

This webhook URL will connect your WordPress site to Pabbly Connect, allowing it to receive data whenever a new post is published.

3. Connecting WordPress to Pabbly Connect

To connect WordPress with Pabbly Connect, you need to install the WP Webhooks plugin on your WordPress site. Go to the Plugins section and search for ‘WP Webhooks’. Install and activate this plugin.

After activation, navigate to the WP Webhooks settings and select ‘Send Data’. Here, choose the event as ‘Post Created’. Click on ‘Add Webhook URL’ and give it a name, then paste the copied webhook URL. Finally, save your settings.

• Select the post type as ‘Post’.
• Set the trigger on the post status change to ‘Publish’.

This setup ensures that every time a new blog post is published, the data is sent to Pabbly Connect, triggering the next steps in your automation.

4. Summarizing Post Content with OpenAI

After successfully connecting WordPress, the next step involves sending the post content to OpenAI using Pabbly Connect. In the Action window, select ‘OpenAI’ as the app and choose the action event ‘Chat GPT’. Connect your OpenAI account by entering your API key.

Once connected, select the AI model you want to use, such as GPT-4. Next, you will enter a prompt for summarizing the blog content. An example prompt could be: ‘This is the content of a Blog I posted on WordPress. Create a caption from this blog post for my company’s LinkedIn profile, keeping it under 400 characters.’

Map the blog content from the WordPress trigger step to the OpenAI action step. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to generate the caption.

This process uses OpenAI to create a concise caption for your LinkedIn post based on the blog content, enhancing your social media engagement.

5. Creating the LinkedIn Post

The final step involves creating the LinkedIn post using Pabbly Connect. In the Action step, select ‘LinkedIn’ as the app and choose ‘Create Company Text Post with Image’ as the action event. Connect your LinkedIn account by entering the required credentials.

After connecting, map the necessary fields: the content title from WordPress, the caption generated by OpenAI, the thumbnail image from the WordPress post, and the source URL of the post. Set the visibility to Pabbly and click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to create the post.

Ensure that all mapped fields are correctly filled. Check LinkedIn to confirm that the post has been created successfully.

With this setup, every time you publish a new blog post on WordPress, it will automatically be shared on your LinkedIn company page, complete with a generated caption and thumbnail image.

Conclusion

By using Pabbly Connect, you can automate the process of sharing your WordPress blog posts on LinkedIn effortlessly. This integration saves time and enhances your online presence by automatically generating engaging content for your audience.
