1. Using Pabbly Connect to Automate Posting Tags

To automate the process of posting WordPress post tags as hashtags on your Facebook page, you will use Pabbly Connect. This integration allows you to connect your WordPress site with Facebook seamlessly. First, log into your Pabbly Connect account, or create a free account if you haven’t done so yet.

Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard and click on the blue button labeled ‘Create Workflow’. You will be prompted to name your workflow. For this tutorial, you can name it ‘Post WordPress Post Tags as Hashtags on Facebook Page’. Select the main workflow folder and click on ‘Create’. This sets the stage for your automation process.

2. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

The next step involves setting up the trigger in Pabbly Connect. Here, you will choose the application that will initiate the workflow. Click on the trigger box and select WordPress as the application. Then, choose the event as ‘New Post Published’. This means that every time a new post is published on your WordPress site, it will trigger the workflow.

• Select ‘WordPress’ as the application.
• Choose the event ‘New Post Published’.
• Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.

After copying the webhook URL, head over to your WordPress dashboard. Install the WP Webhooks plugin if you haven’t already. Once installed, navigate to the plugin’s settings and add the webhook URL. This will establish a connection between your WordPress site and Pabbly Connect.

3. Configuring WordPress to Send Data to Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will configure WordPress to send data to Pabbly Connect. After adding the webhook URL in the WP Webhooks settings, you need to set it to trigger when a new post is created. Click on the settings icon next to your webhook and select the trigger for the post type.

Next, save the settings to ensure that the connection is active. Now, return to Pabbly Connect and check if it is still waiting for a response. This means that the connection is correctly set up. To test it, create a new blog post in WordPress with some tags.

• Add a new post with tags in WordPress.
• Publish the post to trigger the webhook.
• Return to Pabbly Connect to see if the data is received.

Once the post is published, you should see the tags and other data appear in Pabbly Connect. This confirms that the integration is working as intended.

4. Fetching Tags Using API in Pabbly Connect

Now that you have set up the trigger and confirmed that data is being received, the next step is to fetch the tags using the API in Pabbly Connect. You will add an action step to execute an API request. Select the action event as ‘Execute API Request’ and connect it.

In this step, you will need to provide the endpoint URL to fetch the tags. The URL format will be your website URL followed by `/wp-json/wp/v2/tags?per_page=100&post=` and then the post ID. This URL will allow Pabbly Connect to retrieve all the tags associated with the published post.

Use the correct endpoint URL format. Map the post ID to fetch the specific tags. Test the API request to ensure it returns the expected tags.

After executing the API request, you should see a response containing all the tags from the published WordPress post. This is a crucial step before posting the tags on Facebook.

5. Posting Tags as Hashtags on Facebook Using Pabbly Connect

Finally, you will post the fetched tags as hashtags on your Facebook page. In Pabbly Connect, select Facebook as the application and choose the action event ‘Create Page Post’. Connect your Facebook account if you haven’t done so yet.

In the message field, map the tags retrieved from the previous step, ensuring they are formatted correctly as hashtags. Replace spaces with underscores and add a hashtag symbol before each tag. This step is essential for the tags to appear correctly on Facebook.

Select the Facebook page where you want to post. Map the tags as the message content. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to post on Facebook.

After saving the request, check your Facebook page to confirm that the tags have been posted successfully as hashtags. This completes the automation process using Pabbly Connect.
