2. Configuring the Airtable Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this step, we will configure the trigger for new records in Airtable using Pabbly Connect. Select Airtable as the trigger application and choose the event ‘New Record’. Click on ‘Connect’ to establish a connection.

• Enter the API token from your Airtable Developer Hub.
• Select the base named ‘Pinterest Uploads’ and the table ‘Table 1’.
• Add a trigger field called ‘Created’ with the field type set to ‘Created Time’.

After setting these parameters, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to capture the data from Airtable. This data will be used to create a pin in Pinterest later on.

3. Creating a Pinterest Pin with Pabbly Connect

Now that we have configured the trigger, we will set up the action to create a Pinterest pin using Pabbly Connect. Select Pinterest as the action application and choose the event ‘Create Pin’. Click on ‘Connect’ to link your Pinterest account.

Once connected, you will see options to select the board where you want to post the pin. Choose the appropriate board (for example, ‘Nature’). You will then need to map the image URL, title, and description from the previous step’s response.

• Map the image URL from the Airtable response.
• Insert the title and description accordingly.

After mapping the necessary fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to create the pin in Pinterest. You should see a confirmation that the pin has been created successfully.

4. Updating the Airtable Record with the New Pin URL

With the Pinterest pin created, the next step is to update the Airtable record with the new pin URL using Pabbly Connect. Select Airtable again as the action application and this time choose the event ‘Update Record’. Click on ‘Connect’.

In the setup, you will need to select the same base and table as before. For the record, map the record ID from the previous step. Then, fill in the fields for title, image link, description, and the newly created Pinterest URL.

Map the title, image link, and description from the Airtable response. Add the Pinterest URL obtained from the previous step.

Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to update the record. You will receive a confirmation that the Airtable record has been successfully updated with the new pin URL.
