Pabbly Connect is an integration platform that allows users to automate tasks between different applications. In this tutorial, we will explore how to connect Instagram to Google My Business using Pabbly Connect. This integration will enable you to automatically sync images posted on Instagram directly to your Google My Business profile.

To start, ensure you have an account on Pabbly Connect. If you don’t have one, sign up for free in just a few minutes. Once logged in, you will be ready to create your first workflow that connects these two powerful platforms.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After logging into Pabbly Connect, the first step is to create a new workflow. Click on the blue button labeled ‘Create Workflow’. You will need to provide a name for your workflow, such as ‘Sync Instagram Images with Google My Business Automatically’.

Next, select the folder where you want to save this workflow. After clicking on ‘Create’, you will see two boxes labeled as Trigger and Action. The Trigger is the event that starts the automation, while the Action is what occurs as a result of that trigger.

• Click on ‘Create Workflow’ to start.
• Name your workflow appropriately.
• Select the correct folder for your workflow.

Now, you will need to select Instagram as the Trigger application since we want to capture new media posted on Instagram. For the Action application, select Google My Business to post the images captured from Instagram.

3. Connecting Instagram to Pabbly Connect

To connect Instagram to Pabbly Connect, select the Trigger event as ‘New Media Posted in My Account’. Click on ‘Connect’ and then ‘Add New Connection’. If you are already logged into your Instagram account, authorization will be completed automatically.

Once connected, the most recent media from your Instagram will be available. To test this, upload a new image on your Instagram profile. After posting, return to Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will fetch the latest image details from Instagram.

• Select ‘New Media Posted in My Account’ as the trigger event.
• Authorize your Instagram account for connection.
• Upload a new image to test the connection.

After testing, you will see the response confirming that the connection between Instagram and Pabbly Connect is successful, allowing you to capture the media details needed for the next step.

4. Connecting Google My Business to Pabbly Connect

With Instagram now connected, the next step is to connect Google My Business. In Pabbly Connect, select Google My Business as the Action application and choose the action event ‘Upload Media Photo’. Click on ‘Connect’ and sign in with your Google account to authorize access.

Once connected, you will need to select the location for the Google My Business profile where the images will be posted. Use the source URL from the previous Instagram trigger to automatically fetch the image link. This mapping ensures that every new image posted on Instagram will be correctly uploaded to Google My Business.

Select ‘Upload Media Photo’ as the action event. Authorize your Google My Business account for connection. Map the Instagram image URL to the Google My Business upload field.

After mapping, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to finalize the connection. You will receive a confirmation response that the image has been successfully uploaded to your Google My Business profile.

5. Finalizing the Integration

Now that both Instagram and Google My Business are connected through Pabbly Connect, the automation is complete. Every time you post a new image on your Instagram account, it will automatically be uploaded to your Google My Business profile, keeping your business updated with the latest visuals.

It’s important to note that this integration checks for new posts every 10 minutes. Therefore, while the updates aren’t instantaneous, they are automated, allowing you to focus on your business without manual uploads.

The integration runs every 10 minutes to check for new Instagram posts. No manual uploads are required once the automation is set up. You can relax while Pabbly Connect handles the updates automatically.

This seamless integration allows you to maintain an active online presence across both platforms efficiently.
