1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Blog Automation

To start automating your blog posts, you need to access Pabbly Connect. Begin by typing ‘Pabbly.com/connect’ into your browser. This will take you to the Pabbly Connect homepage where you can either sign in or sign up for a free account.

If you are a new user, click on the ‘Sign Up for Free’ button. After creating your account, you will receive 100 free tasks each month to explore the platform. Once logged in, navigate to the ‘All Apps’ section and select Pabbly Connect to access the dashboard.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

To create a new workflow, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located in the top right corner of the dashboard. A dialog box will appear prompting you to name your workflow. Enter a name such as ‘Auto Post WordPress Blogs on Social Media Platforms’ and select the appropriate folder for saving your workflow.

• Click ‘Create’ to initiate the workflow.
• You will see two sections: Trigger and Action.

In this workflow, the trigger will be set to WordPress, and the action will involve posting to social media platforms like Facebook and LinkedIn. This setup ensures that whenever a blog is published on WordPress, it will automatically be shared on your selected social media platforms through Pabbly Connect.

3. Setting Up the Trigger with WordPress

The first step in your automation is to set up the trigger. In the trigger section, select WordPress as the application. Next, choose the trigger event, which should be set to ‘New Post Published’. This event will activate the workflow whenever a new blog post is published on your WordPress site.

After selecting the trigger event, Pabbly Connect will provide you with a Webhook URL. Copy this URL as it will be used to connect your WordPress account. Now, head over to your WordPress dashboard and install the WP Webhooks plugin if you haven’t already.

• Navigate to ‘Plugins’ and search for WP Webhooks.
• Activate the plugin and go to its settings to add the Webhook URL.

Once the Webhook is set up in WordPress, you will be able to test the connection by publishing a new blog post. This will send the data back to Pabbly Connect, confirming that the integration is successful.

4. Posting Your Blog to Facebook and LinkedIn

With the trigger set up, the next step is to configure the action steps for social media posting. Start by selecting Facebook Pages as your action application. Choose the action event as ‘Create Page Post’. This allows you to share your blog content on your Facebook page.

Click on ‘Connect’ and authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Facebook account. After successful authorization, select the Facebook page where you want to post your blog. Map the content from the previous step by inserting the blog title and content dynamically, ensuring that every new post will reflect the latest blog.

Map the title and content fields from the WordPress response. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify the action.

After confirming that the post has been successfully created on Facebook, repeat the process for LinkedIn by selecting LinkedIn as the action application. Choose ‘Share Simple Text’ as the action event and map the title and content similarly. This will ensure that your blog is also shared on LinkedIn through Pabbly Connect.

5. Summary and Next Steps

In this workflow, you have successfully set up an automation that posts your WordPress blogs to various social media platforms using Pabbly Connect. This integration allows you to streamline your blogging process and enhance your online presence.
