To begin the automation process of sharing WordPress posts on Facebook, you need to access Pabbly Connect. Start by signing up for a free account on the Pabbly Connect dashboard. This platform will serve as the central hub for your automation tasks.

Once logged in, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow, for instance, ‘WordPress to Facebook’, and select the appropriate folder for your Pabbly Connect account. After creating the workflow, you will see two sections: the trigger window and the action window.

2. Connecting WordPress with Pabbly Connect

The next step is to connect your WordPress account to Pabbly Connect. In the trigger window, search for the WordPress app and select it. Choose the trigger event as ‘New Post Published’. This will allow Pabbly Connect to receive details each time a new post is published on your WordPress site.

After selecting the trigger event, Pabbly Connect will provide you with a webhook URL. You need to copy this URL to connect it with your WordPress account. To do this, install the WP Webhooks plugin on your WordPress site. Once installed, navigate to the settings of the WP Webhooks plugin and follow these steps:

• Go to the ‘Send Data’ section in WP Webhooks.
• Select the event as ‘Post Created’.
• Paste the webhook URL from Pabbly Connect and name it.
• Save your settings to complete the connection.

Now, whenever you publish a new post on WordPress, the details will automatically be sent to Pabbly Connect.

3. Testing the Integration with Pabbly Connect

After setting up the webhook, it’s time to test the integration. Go back to your WordPress account and create a new post. Fill in the title and content, and then click on the ‘Publish’ button. This action will trigger the webhook you just set up. using Pabbly Connect

Now that Pabbly Connect is receiving data from WordPress, you can set up the action to share the post on Facebook. In the action window, search for ‘Facebook Pages’ and select it.

• Enter a custom message, such as ‘Hello, I have published a new blog on gardening!’
• Map the title of the new post from the trigger step to the message.
