1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start using Pabbly Connect for adding posts to Nuelink from new Airtable records, first, access the Pabbly Connect dashboard. You can create your free account by clicking on the sign-up link provided in the description box.

Once logged in, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow, for example, ‘Airtable to Nuelink,’ and click on ‘Create’. This will open a new workflow setup where you will configure the trigger and action events necessary for integration.

2. Connecting Airtable to Pabbly Connect

In the first step of your workflow, you need to set up the trigger by connecting Airtable to Pabbly Connect. In the trigger window, search for ‘Airtable’ and select it. Choose ‘New Record’ as the trigger event, and click on ‘Connect’ to establish a connection.

• Select ‘Add New Connection’ and enter your Airtable API token.
• To get the API token, go to your Airtable account, navigate to your profile, and access the Developer Hub.
• Create a new token by clicking on ‘Create New Token’ and set the necessary scopes.

After obtaining the token, paste it into Pabbly Connect and click ‘Save’. You will then select the Airtable base from which you want to pull new records. Choose the base named ‘Content’ and the table named ‘New Content’ to proceed.

3. Configuring the Trigger Field in Airtable

In this section, you will configure the trigger field that will notify Pabbly Connect when a new record is added. Ensure that your Airtable table has a column named ‘Created’ with the field type set to ‘Created Time’. This column will act as the trigger field.

Once you have set up your trigger field, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ in Pabbly Connect. This will fetch the details of the most recent record added to your Airtable table. Verify that the data returned includes the image URL and caption you want to use for your Nuelink post.

4. Adding Posts to Nuelink via Pabbly Connect

Now that you have configured the trigger, it is time to set up the action that sends the data to Nuelink. In the action window, search for ‘Nuelink’ and select it. Choose the action event ‘Add Post to Collection’ and click on ‘Connect’.

• Select the collection in Nuelink where you want the post to be added, such as ‘General’.
• Map the caption and media URL fields from the Airtable record to the corresponding fields in Nuelink.
• Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to finalize the integration.

After executing the test request, check your Nuelink account to confirm that the post with the mapped caption and media URL has been successfully added. This integration allows you to automate the process seamlessly using Pabbly Connect.

5. Testing the Automation Workflow

To ensure that your automation is functioning correctly, add a new record in Airtable with a caption and media URL. For example, input a caption like ‘This is a real-time test’ and provide a media link.

After adding the record, wait approximately 10 minutes for Pabbly Connect to poll your Airtable database for new records. After the wait, check your Nuelink account to see if the new post appears in the selected collection with the correct details.

This testing confirms that your automation is working as expected, allowing you to efficiently add posts to Nuelink from new Airtable records without manual intervention.
