1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To begin automating your Reddit post for a published YouTube video, first, access Pabbly Connect by visiting the official website. Here, you can either sign in if you are an existing user or click on ‘Sign Up for Free’ to create a new account. New users receive 100 free tasks each month, allowing them to explore the platform’s capabilities.

Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard of Pabbly Connect. You will see options to create workflows. This is where you will set up the integration between your YouTube channel and your Reddit community, enabling seamless sharing of your video content.

2. Creating Your Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After accessing the dashboard, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to start setting up your automation. Name your workflow as ‘Create Reddit Post for Published YouTube Video’ and choose a folder for organization. This will help you manage your workflows effectively within Pabbly Connect.

• Select a name for your workflow.
• Choose a folder to save your workflow.
• Click on ‘Create’ to finalize your setup.

With your workflow created, you will see two panels: one for the trigger and another for the action. The trigger will be set to YouTube, indicating that a new video upload will initiate the workflow, while the action will be set to Reddit, where the post will be submitted.

3. Setting Up the YouTube Trigger

In this step, select YouTube as your trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Choose the event ‘New Video in Channel’ with video URL as your trigger event. This means that every time you upload a new video, it will trigger the workflow to post on Reddit.

Next, click on ‘Connect’ and select ‘Add New Connection’ to link your YouTube account. Authorize Pabbly Connect to access your YouTube account, ensuring that your data remains secure. Once connected, select your channel ID and click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to confirm the integration.

Note that YouTube operates on a polling time of 10 minutes, meaning Pabbly Connect will check for new video uploads every 10 minutes. This ensures that your Reddit community is updated shortly after you publish a new video.

4. Configuring the Reddit Action

After successfully setting up the YouTube trigger, it’s time to configure the action for Reddit. Select Reddit as your action application in Pabbly Connect and choose the event ‘Submit a Link Post’. This action will automatically share your YouTube video link in your chosen Reddit community.

• Connect your Reddit account by clicking on ‘Add New Connection’.
• Authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Reddit account.
• Map the title and URL of your YouTube video to the respective fields.

Make sure to enter the subreddit name where you want to post the video. This setup allows for dynamic mapping, meaning each new video will automatically take the title and URL from the previous step, ensuring that your posts are always up-to-date.

5. Testing Your Integration

With both the YouTube trigger and Reddit action configured, it’s time to test your integration. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ in the Reddit action panel. If successful, you will receive a confirmation that your post has been submitted to the specified subreddit.

Check your Reddit community to verify that the video has been posted successfully. You should see the title and link of your YouTube video displayed as a new post. This confirms that your workflow in Pabbly Connect is functioning correctly, automating the process of sharing your content.

To ensure everything works smoothly, you can upload a new video on your YouTube channel and wait for the 10-minute polling time. After this period, check your Reddit community again to see the new post, demonstrating the seamless integration facilitated by Pabbly Connect.
