1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for RSS and Discord Integration

To start automating the sharing of RSS feeds to your Discord channel, first access Pabbly Connect. This platform allows you to integrate various applications without any coding skills.

Visit the Pabbly Connect homepage by typing ‘Pabbly.com/connect’ in your browser. Here, you can either sign in if you are an existing user or click on the ‘Sign up for free’ button to create a new account. New users receive 100 free tasks every month to explore the platform.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once logged into Pabbly Connect, navigate to the dashboard to create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. A dialog box will prompt you to name your workflow, so enter a name like ‘Share RSS Feeds to Discord’.

• Name your workflow.
• Select a folder for organization.
• Click ‘Create’ to finalize.

After creating the workflow, you will see two sections: Trigger and Action. The Trigger is the event that starts the automation, while the Action is what happens as a result. Select ‘RSS by Pabbly’ for the Trigger application and ‘Discord’ for the Action application.

3. Setting Up the Trigger with RSS by Pabbly

In the Trigger application, select ‘New Item in Feed’ as the trigger event. This means that whenever a new item is added to the RSS feed, it will trigger the workflow in Pabbly Connect.

Next, you will need to enter the feed URL from which you want to capture the RSS feed. For example, you can use the NDTV Sports RSS feed URL. Copy the URL and paste it into the designated field in Pabbly Connect. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure the connection is working properly.

4. Configuring the Action to Send Messages to Discord

Now that your trigger is set up, it’s time to configure the Action. Select ‘Discord’ as the Action application and choose ‘Send Channel Message HTML’ as the action event. Click on ‘Connect’ to establish a connection to your Discord account.

To connect, you will need the Webhook URL from your Discord server. Create a new channel in Discord if needed, then navigate to Server Settings > Integrations > View Webhooks. Click ‘New Webhook’, name it, and copy the Webhook URL. Paste this URL back into Pabbly Connect.

• Create a new channel in Discord.
• Navigate to Integrations to create a Webhook.
• Copy and paste the Webhook URL into Pabbly Connect.

After pasting the Webhook URL, customize the message that will be sent to Discord, including the RSS feed link. Use dynamic mapping to insert the feed URL from the previous step.

5. Testing the Integration and Finalizing the Setup

With everything configured, it’s time to test the integration. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ in Pabbly Connect. If successful, you should see a message appear in your Discord channel with the RSS feed link.

Verify that the message includes the correct content and link. This confirms that your workflow is functioning properly. Now, every time a new RSS feed item is added, it will automatically post to your Discord channel without any manual effort.

Conclusion
