To create a WordPress blog from your YouTube videos, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. This integration platform allows you to automate workflows between YouTube and WordPress seamlessly. After logging into your Pabbly Connect account, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to start the process.

Next, name your workflow something descriptive, such as ‘Create WordPress Blog from YouTube Videos with Image, Description, and Video’. Select the appropriate folder for your workflow and hit the ‘Create’ button. This sets up the framework for your automation.

2. Setting Up Trigger and Action in Pabbly Connect

In Pabbly Connect, you will set up a trigger and action. The trigger will be a new video uploaded to your YouTube channel, while the action will be to create a blog post in WordPress. Select YouTube as your trigger application and choose the event ‘New Video in Channel’.

• Select the trigger event as ‘New Video in Channel’.
• Connect your YouTube account to Pabbly Connect.
• Once connected, the latest video details will be fetched automatically.

After setting up the trigger, you will proceed to select WordPress as your action application. Choose the ‘Create a Post’ action to automate blog creation. This integration will allow Pabbly Connect to use the video details to create a blog post automatically.

3. Uploading Video and Creating Blog Post

After setting up the trigger and action, upload a new video to your YouTube channel. Include a title, description, and thumbnail. As soon as the video goes live, Pabbly Connect will capture the video details, including the URL, description, and image.

Once the video is live, return to your Pabbly Connect dashboard and test the connection. Click on the button to fetch the latest video data. You should see the video URL, title, and description displayed. This confirms that the integration is working correctly.

Next, you will map the video details to create a blog post in WordPress. The title and description from the video will automatically populate the blog post fields. Ensure that you also map the video URL to embed the video in your WordPress post.

4. Configuring WordPress Settings in Pabbly Connect

Before completing the blog post creation, you must configure your WordPress settings in Pabbly Connect. You will need to provide your WordPress site URL, username, and password for authentication. Make sure to enable the REST API feature in your WordPress settings.

Once the authentication is successful, you will be prompted to select the post type and fill in the necessary details. Map the title and description from the YouTube video to the corresponding fields in WordPress. This ensures that every new video creates a corresponding blog post automatically.

• Input your WordPress site URL without the trailing slash.
• Ensure you have the REST API enabled in your WordPress settings.
• Map the video title and description correctly.

After mapping all the required fields, click on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button. This action will create a blog post on your WordPress site automatically using the video details fetched from YouTube.

5. Finalizing Integration and Publishing the Blog

With the integration set up, Pabbly Connect will automatically publish the blog post using the video details every time a new video is uploaded. You can monitor the status of your automation in the Pabbly Connect dashboard.

To finalize the process, ensure that your blog post includes the video URL, title, and description. You can also customize the post further by adding categories or tags if desired. Once everything is set, you can publish the blog post directly from Pabbly Connect.

After the integration is complete, you can relax as Pabbly Connect will handle all future uploads and blog creations automatically. This setup saves time and keeps your blog updated with fresh content from your YouTube channel.

Conclusion

Using Pabbly Connect, you can effortlessly create a WordPress blog from your YouTube videos by automating the entire process. This integration allows you to publish blog posts with video details, ensuring your content stays fresh and engaging.
