3. Setting Up the Trigger for RSS Feed

In this step, you will set up the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Select ‘RSS by Pabbly’ as your trigger application and choose ‘New Item in Feed’ as the trigger event. This trigger will activate whenever a new item is added to your RSS feed.

Next, you need to connect your RSS feed by entering the Feed URL. This URL is crucial as Pabbly Connect will check for updates at regular intervals, typically every 6 hours. Click on ‘Connect’ to establish this connection.

4. Configuring the Action to Post on Instagram

After setting up the trigger, you need to configure the action application in Pabbly Connect. Select ‘Instagram for Business’ as your action application and set the action event to ‘Publish Photo’. This will allow you to create a post on your Instagram account when a new RSS item is detected.

To connect your Instagram account, click on ‘Connect’ and authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Instagram for Business account. Once the connection is successful, you will proceed to map the details from your RSS feed response to the Instagram post fields.

• Map the photo URL from the RSS feed response to the photo URL field.
• Map the caption to the title of the RSS feed item.

This mapping ensures that each new post on Instagram reflects the most recent updates from your RSS feed, maintaining dynamic content.

5. Testing the Integration with Pabbly Connect

With the trigger and action set up, it’s time to test the integration in Pabbly Connect. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to initiate the test. If configured correctly, you should receive a positive response indicating that the data has been successfully passed from the RSS feed to Instagram.

Check your Instagram account to confirm that a new post has been created with the image and caption from the RSS feed. This confirms that your automation is functioning as intended, allowing you to seamlessly connect RSS Feed with Instagram.
