1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To begin the process of adding WordPress posts from new pins in Pinterest, you’ll need to access Pabbly Connect. Start by signing into your Pabbly account and navigating to the dashboard.

Once in the dashboard, locate the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Click on it to initiate the integration setup. You will be prompted to name your workflow; for this tutorial, we will name it ‘Create WordPress Post from New Pins in Pinterest’. After naming, click on the ‘Create’ button to proceed.


2. Setting Up Pinterest as the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In the new workflow, the first step is to set Pinterest as the trigger application. This means that every time a new pin is created in Pinterest, it will trigger an action in WordPress via Pabbly Connect.

Click on the ‘Connect’ button to link your Pinterest account with Pabbly Connect. You will need to authorize the connection by allowing access. Once authorized, select the board from which you want to pull new pins. Make sure to create a new pin in Pinterest before testing the connection.

  • Click on ‘Create Pin’ in Pinterest.
  • Upload your desired image and add a title and description.
  • Save the pin to your selected board.

After creating the pin, return to Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will fetch the details of the newly created pin to be used in the next step.


3. Configuring WordPress as the Action in Pabbly Connect

Now that Pinterest is set as the trigger, the next step is to configure WordPress as the action application in Pabbly Connect. Select WordPress from the application list and choose the event ‘Create Post’.

You’ll need to connect your WordPress account by providing your username, password, and base URL. The base URL should look like this: ‘https://yourwebsite.com/wp’ (omit the ‘admin’ or ‘login’ part). After entering these details, click ‘Save’ to establish the connection.

  • Enter your WordPress username and password.
  • Input the base URL correctly.
  • Save the connection to proceed.

After connecting, you will need to map the details from the Pinterest trigger to the WordPress post fields. Set the post title, content, and other required fields as discussed in the video.


4. Mapping Data and Testing the Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will map the data from the Pinterest trigger to the WordPress post fields in Pabbly Connect. This is crucial for ensuring the correct information is transferred during the automation process.

For the post content, use the format: ‘HowDESCRIPTION’ where ‘IMAGE_URL’ is the link to your image and ‘DESCRIPTION’ is the text you want to include. After entering all the necessary fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to test the workflow.

Ensure the post status is set to ‘Published’. Check that all fields are correctly mapped. Confirm the test request shows no errors.

Once the test is successful, navigate to your WordPress dashboard to verify that the post has been created as expected.


5. Verifying the Created Post in WordPress

After successfully testing the workflow in Pabbly Connect, it’s time to verify that the post was created in WordPress. Go to your WordPress dashboard, and select ‘Posts’ to see all posts.

Locate the post that was created from the new Pinterest pin. Open it to confirm that the image and description match what you set up in the workflow. This verification ensures that the integration between Pinterest and WordPress via Pabbly Connect is functioning correctly.

If everything looks good, you have successfully automated the process of adding WordPress posts from new pins in Pinterest using Pabbly Connect. This integration saves time and effort by eliminating the need for manual entry.
