1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Integration

To create a WordPress post from a Notion database, you first need to set up Pabbly Connect. This platform facilitates the integration between Notion and WordPress. Start by signing in to your Pabbly Connect account. If you are a new user, you can sign up for free and get 100 tasks each month.

Once logged in, navigate to the Pabbly Connect dashboard. To create a new workflow, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button in the top right corner. Name your workflow, for instance, ‘Create WordPress Post from Notion Database,’ and choose a folder to save it in, such as ‘WordPress.’ Click on ‘Create’ to proceed to the integration setup.

2. Choosing Trigger and Action Applications in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will define the trigger and action applications in Pabbly Connect. Your trigger application will be Notion, while the action application will be WordPress. Under the trigger section, select Notion and choose the event as ‘New Database Item.’ This means that the workflow will be triggered whenever a new item is added to your Notion database.

• Select Notion as your trigger application.
• Choose ‘New Database Item’ as the trigger event.
• Set WordPress as the action application with ‘Create New Post’ as the action event.

Once you have selected the trigger and action applications, you can proceed to establish connections. This step is crucial as Pabbly Connect will enable the automatic posting to WordPress whenever you create a new entry in Notion.

3. Connecting Notion and WordPress to Pabbly Connect

Now it’s time to connect Notion to Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Connect’ button next to Notion and authorize access by clicking ‘Allow Access.’ This ensures that Pabbly Connect can retrieve data from your Notion database. After successful connection, you will need to select the database ID from which the data will be pulled.

Next, repeat the process for WordPress. Click on the ‘Connect’ button next to WordPress, and enter your WordPress username, password, and base URL. The base URL typically looks like ‘https://yourdomain.com/wp-json/wp/v2/’. Once connected, you can start mapping the fields from Notion to WordPress.

4. Mapping Fields for Automation in Pabbly Connect

Mapping fields is a critical step in the Pabbly Connect integration process. You will need to map the title and content fields from your Notion database to the corresponding fields in WordPress. This ensures that the correct data is transferred whenever a new post is created.

• Map the ‘Post Title’ field to the title from Notion.
• Map the ‘Post Content’ field to the content from Notion.
• Set the post status to ‘Published’ to make it live immediately.

After mapping the fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This action will send the data from Notion to WordPress, creating a new post based on the information provided. If everything is set up correctly, you will receive a confirmation response indicating that the post has been created successfully.

5. Testing and Verifying the Integration

Once the mapping is complete, it is essential to test the integration set up in Pabbly Connect. Go back to your Notion database and add a new post title and content. After adding the details, return to Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ again. This will capture the latest data from Notion.

If successful, you should see a new post created in your WordPress dashboard with the title and content you just added in Notion. This confirms that the integration is working as intended and that every time you add a new item in Notion, it will automatically create a corresponding post in WordPress.

Conclusion

Using Pabbly Connect, you can seamlessly create WordPress posts from your Notion database. This integration allows for efficient content management and automation, ensuring that your posts are published without manual intervention. By following the steps outlined in this tutorial, you can streamline your content creation process effectively.
