1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for WordPress Outlook Integration

To get started with email notifications for post updates in WordPress, you need to access Pabbly Connect. This powerful automation tool allows you to link your WordPress site with Microsoft Outlook seamlessly.

After signing into your Pabbly Connect account, navigate to the dashboard where you can view all available applications. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and name your workflow, such as ‘Get Outlook Email Notifications on WordPress Post Update’. This will initiate the setup process for the email notification automation.

2. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will configure the trigger for the workflow using Pabbly Connect. The trigger will be set to activate whenever a post is updated in WordPress. Click on the trigger application and select WordPress from the options.

• Choose the event as ‘Post Updated’ to ensure that the workflow reacts to post updates.
• Once the trigger is set, Pabbly Connect will provide a webhook URL that you will use to connect WordPress with the automation.

After copying the webhook URL, you will need to configure your WordPress site to send updates to this URL. This connection is crucial for the automation to function correctly.

3. Configuring the WordPress Webhook

To enable WordPress to communicate with Pabbly Connect, you must install a specific plugin. Search for the ‘WP Webhooks’ plugin in the WordPress plugin repository and install it. This plugin will facilitate the connection between your WordPress site and Pabbly Connect.

Once the plugin is activated, navigate to the settings and find the option to send data. Here, you will add the webhook URL previously copied from Pabbly Connect. Set the webhook to trigger on post updates, ensuring that only relevant changes will send notifications.

4. Setting Up the Action in Microsoft Outlook

Now that your trigger is configured, the next step is to set up the action in Microsoft Outlook using Pabbly Connect. Select Microsoft Office 365 as your action application and choose the event ‘Send Mail’. This action will send an email notification whenever a post is updated in WordPress.

• Connect your Microsoft Office 365 account by authorizing Pabbly Connect to access your email.
• Fill in the email details, including the recipient’s email address, subject line, and body content, which should include the updated post information.

After composing your email, save the settings. This step ensures that every time a post is updated, an email notification is sent to the specified recipient.

5. Testing the Integration

To ensure that your setup works correctly, it’s time to test the integration. Go to your WordPress site and update an existing post. After making changes, click on the ‘Update’ button. This action will trigger the webhook you set up in Pabbly Connect.

Check your email inbox to confirm that the notification was received. The email should contain the updated post details, including the title and any changes made. If everything is set up correctly, you will receive a notification every time a post is updated in WordPress.

Conclusion

Using Pabbly Connect, you can easily automate email notifications for WordPress post updates. This integration with Microsoft Outlook ensures that you stay informed about changes made to your posts, enhancing your workflow and communication.
