1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To create a Pinterest pin for new Shopify products, the first step is accessing Pabbly Connect. You can do this by navigating to Pabbly.com/c/connect in your browser. This platform is essential for automating the connection between Shopify and Pinterest.

Once on the Pabbly Connect page, you will see options to sign in or sign up. If you don’t have an account, click on the ‘Sign Up for Free’ button, which takes just two minutes to complete. After signing in, you will be directed to the dashboard where you can start creating your workflows.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this section, we will set up a workflow in Pabbly Connect to automate the process. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button on your dashboard. A window will prompt you to name your workflow; for this tutorial, name it ‘Create Pinterest Pin for New Shopify Product’.

• Click on ‘Create’ to proceed to the workflow setup.
• You will see two boxes: Trigger and Action.
• Select Shopify as the trigger application and ‘New Product’ as the trigger event.

Once you have set up the trigger, you will need to connect Shopify with Pabbly Connect. This connection is established using a webhook URL, which acts as a bridge between the two applications. Copy the webhook URL provided in the workflow setup and proceed to the next section.

3. Connecting Shopify to Pabbly Connect

The next step involves configuring your Shopify account to send product data to Pabbly Connect. Go to your Shopify settings and navigate to the Notifications section. Here, you will create a new webhook by clicking on the ‘Create Webhook’ button.

• Select ‘Product Creation’ as the event type.
• Set the format to JSON and paste the copied webhook URL into the URL field.
• Choose the latest API version and click ‘Save’.

After saving the webhook, return to Pabbly Connect. Here, it will show that it is waiting for a webhook response. To test this, create a new product in Shopify, which will trigger the webhook and send data back to Pabbly Connect.

4. Transforming Data Using Pabbly Connect

Now that we have received a response in Pabbly Connect, we need to process this data to remove any HTML tags from the product description. This is crucial for creating a clean Pinterest pin. For this, we will use the Data Transformer tool in Pabbly Connect.

Select ‘Data Transformer’ as your action application. Choose ‘Strip HTML Tags’ as your action event. Map the product description from the Shopify response to the encoded string field.

Once the mapping is done, click on ‘Save and Send Test’. This will send the cleaned description back to Pabbly Connect, ready for the next step in creating the Pinterest pin.

5. Creating a Pinterest Pin Using Pabbly Connect

In this final step, we will create a Pinterest pin using the details we have gathered from Shopify through Pabbly Connect. First, select Pinterest as your action application. Then, choose ‘Create Pin’ as the action event.

Connect your Pinterest account to Pabbly Connect. Select the board where you want to create the pin. Map the image URL, product title, and cleaned description to the respective fields.

After mapping all the required fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test’. This will create a new pin in your selected Pinterest board. You can verify this by checking your Pinterest account to see the new pin with the product details.
