Follow these steps to configure MySQL as your trigger:

• Select MySQL as the trigger application.
• Choose the event type as ‘New Row’.
• Connect your MySQL account by entering your username, password, host details, database name, and port.

Once you have successfully connected, select the specific table from which you want to fetch data. Ensure you choose the table that contains your tweet data.

3. Adding New Row to MySQL Database

After setting up MySQL as the trigger, you need to add a new row containing the tweet details. This row will be fetched by Pabbly Connect to create a tweet.

To add a new row, follow these steps:

• Enter the tweet message in the designated column.
• Specify the date in the required format.
• Click on ‘Go’ to insert the row into the MySQL database.

Once the row is added, return to Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to fetch the newly added data.

4. Configuring Twitter as the Action Application

Now that you have your MySQL trigger set up, it’s time to configure Twitter as the action application in Pabbly Connect. The action event will be to create a tweet using the data fetched from MySQL.

To set this up, select Twitter as your action application and choose the event type as ‘Create Tweet’. You will need to connect your Twitter account by providing the Client ID and Client Secret.

Follow these steps for the Twitter connection:

Obtain your Client ID and Client Secret from your Twitter Developer account. Paste the Client ID and Client Secret into the respective fields in Pabbly Connect. Authorize the connection to allow Pabbly Connect access to your Twitter account.

Once connected, map the tweet message from the previous step to the message field in Twitter.

5. Testing the Integration to Post Tweets

With everything configured, it’s time to test your integration. In this step, you will verify whether Pabbly Connect can successfully create a tweet using the data from your MySQL database.

To perform the test, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ in the Twitter action setup. Once the request is sent, check the response to confirm that a tweet has been created.

Follow these steps to complete the test:

Review the response from Twitter to ensure it indicates success. Visit your Twitter profile to confirm the tweet appears as expected. If successful, your integration is complete!

This testing phase confirms that your workflow is functioning correctly and that Pabbly Connect is effectively bridging your MySQL database and Twitter.
