1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Instagram and Pinterest Integration

To create a Pinterest pin from an Instagram post, you need to set up Pabbly Connect. Start by visiting the Pabbly Connect website, where you can sign in or create a new account. If you’re new, you can sign up for free and receive 100 tasks every month.

Once logged in, navigate to the ‘All P Apps’ window and select Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Access Now’ button to enter the dashboard. Here, you will create a workflow that automates the process of generating a Pinterest pin whenever you post on Instagram.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In the Pabbly Connect dashboard, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located in the top right corner. A dialog box will appear asking for a workflow name. Enter ‘Create Pinterest Pin from Instagram Post’ and select the folder where you want to save this workflow, such as ‘Instagram Automations.’ Click on ‘Create’ to proceed.

• Workflow Name: Create Pinterest Pin from Instagram Post
• Folder: Instagram Automations

After creating the workflow, you will see two sections: ‘Trigger’ and ‘Action.’ The trigger is the event that starts the automation, while the action is what happens as a result. In this case, the trigger will be a new media post on Instagram.

3. Setting Up the Trigger for Instagram

To set up the trigger, click on the arrow under the Trigger section. Select ‘Instagram for Business’ as the trigger application and choose ‘New Media Posted’ as the trigger event. This means that whenever a new post is made on your Instagram account, it will trigger the workflow in Pabbly Connect.

Next, click on ‘Connect’ to link your Instagram account to Pabbly Connect. A new window will pop up, prompting you to add a new connection. Authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Instagram account by clicking on ‘Connect with Instagram for Business.’ Once authorized, select the Instagram account you want to use and click on ‘Save and Send Test Request.’ This will capture the most recent post from your Instagram account.

4. Setting Up the Action for Pinterest

Now, you need to set up the action that will occur when the trigger is activated. In the Action section, select ‘Pinterest’ as the action application and choose ‘Create Pin’ as the action event. This will enable Pabbly Connect to create a pin on your Pinterest account whenever a new Instagram post is made.

Click on ‘Connect’ to link Pinterest to Pabbly Connect. A new window will appear asking for permission. Click on ‘Give Access’ to authorize Pabbly Connect to create pins on your Pinterest account. After connecting, you will be prompted to select the board where you want the pin to be saved. Choose the appropriate board and leave the section ID blank if not required.

• Action Application: Pinterest
• Action Event: Create Pin
• Select Board: Choose your desired board

Next, map the image URL from the Instagram post to the image URL field in Pinterest. This mapping allows Pabbly Connect to dynamically insert the correct image URL each time a new post is made. After mapping, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to finalize the setup.

5. Testing the Integration

To test the integration, go back to your Instagram account and create a new post. Once the post is live, return to Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ in the action step. This will trigger the creation of a new pin in your Pinterest account.

After a few moments, check your Pinterest account to see if the pin has been created successfully. You should see a new pin with the same image and caption as your Instagram post. This confirms that the integration between Instagram and Pinterest via Pabbly Connect is working seamlessly. Repeat this process for future posts to automate your Pinterest pin creation.
