After setting up the webhook in WordPress, you need to test the automation. Go back to your Pabbly Connect workflow and ensure it is waiting for a webhook response. Now, create a dummy post in your WordPress account to trigger the automation.

Once you publish the dummy post, Pabbly Connect will capture the response. Check the workflow to see if the post details, including the title and content, are displayed correctly. This confirms that your WordPress account is successfully connected to Pabbly Connect.

Ensure the post is published and visible on your WordPress account. Check if the response in Pabbly Connect includes the correct post details.
