1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To create a Medium post from WordPress, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. This integration platform allows you to automate tasks between different applications seamlessly. Start by visiting the Pabbly Connect website and signing into your account.

If you are a new user, you can sign up for free and enjoy 100 free tasks every month. Once logged in, you will see the dashboard where you can access various applications, including Pabbly, PAB, and others necessary for this integration.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Next, you need to create a workflow in Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button in the top right corner. A dialog box will appear prompting you to name your workflow. Enter a descriptive name such as ‘Create Medium Post from WordPress’.

• Name your workflow appropriately.
• Select a folder to save your workflow.
• Click on ‘Create’ to finalize the workflow setup.

After creating the workflow, you will see two sections labeled ‘Trigger’ and ‘Action’. The trigger is the event that starts the automation, while the action is what happens as a result. You will set up your trigger next.

3. Setting Up the Trigger for WordPress

To set up the trigger, select WordPress as your trigger application in Pabbly Connect. The objective here is to capture new posts published on your WordPress account. Choose the trigger event as ‘New Post Published’.

Pabbly Connect will provide you with a unique webhook URL. Copy this URL as you will need it to connect your WordPress account to Pabbly Connect. Now, navigate to your WordPress account.

• Go to ‘Plugins’ and click on ‘Add New’.
• Search for the WP Webhook plugin and install it.
• After installation, go to the settings of the WP Webhook plugin.

In the settings, create a new webhook for the ‘Post Created’ event, paste the copied webhook URL, and save your settings. This setup ensures that every time a new post is published on WordPress, Pabbly Connect captures the response.

4. Setting Up the Action Step to Create Medium Post

Now that your trigger is set up, it’s time to configure the action step in Pabbly Connect. Select Medium as your action application and choose the action event as ‘Create Post’. This step will allow you to publish the same content from WordPress to Medium.

Click on ‘Connect’ to connect your Medium account to Pabbly Connect. You will need to enter an integration token, which you can generate from your Medium account settings. Once you have the token, paste it into Pabbly Connect and save the connection.

Select the user and author for the Medium post. Map the title and content from the previous WordPress step. Choose the content format as HTML.

After mapping the required fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This action will test the integration by attempting to create a post on Medium with the content from your WordPress account.

5. Finalizing the Integration and Testing

After setting up the action step, it’s crucial to finalize the integration. Check your Medium account to see if the post has been published successfully. If everything is set up correctly, you should see the new post reflecting the content you published on WordPress.

To ensure the integration works seamlessly, you can publish a new post on your WordPress account and observe if Pabbly Connect captures the response and creates a corresponding post on Medium automatically.

This automation between WordPress and Medium using Pabbly Connect allows you to streamline your workflow effectively. By following the steps outlined, you can ensure that any content published on WordPress is automatically shared on Medium, enhancing your content reach.
