Now, you will see the workflow window where you define your trigger and actions. For this integration, the trigger will be WordPress, and the actions will involve Bitly and Discord. This setup allows Pabbly Connect to automate the process seamlessly.
3. Set Up WordPress Trigger in Pabbly Connect
In this step, we will configure the trigger for our workflow. Select WordPress as your trigger application and choose the event ‘New Post Published’. Pabbly Connect will generate a webhook URL that you will need to copy for the next steps. using Pabbly Connect
Next, go to your WordPress account. In the left sidebar, click on ‘Plugins’, then search for and install the ‘WP Webhooks’ plugin if you haven’t already. After installation, navigate to the settings of the WP Webhooks plugin.

- Add the webhook URL you copied from Pabbly Connect.
- Save the settings to establish the connection.
After saving, your WordPress account is now linked to Pabbly Connect, allowing it to trigger actions based on new posts.
4. Create Bitly Link Using Pabbly Connect
Once your WordPress trigger is set up, the next step in Pabbly Connect is to create a Bitly link. Select Bitly as your action application and choose the action event ‘Create Bit Link’. If you haven’t connected your Bitly account yet, you will need to do so now. using Pabbly Connect
When prompted, authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Bitly account. You will then need to map the long URL from your WordPress post. This mapping allows Pabbly Connect to dynamically insert the URL of the new post into the Bitly link creation process.
- Map the long URL to the post link from the WordPress trigger.
- Enter the post title for the Bitly link.
- Choose a domain for your Bitly link.
After entering the required information, save the settings. Pabbly Connect will now create a shortened Bitly link for the new WordPress post.
5. Send Message to Discord Channel
The final step is to send the newly created Bitly link to your Discord channel. In Pabbly Connect, add another action step and select Discord. Choose the action event ‘Send Channel Message’. You will need to connect your Discord account if you haven’t done so yet. using Pabbly Connect
Once connected, provide the webhook URL from your Discord server settings. This allows Pabbly Connect to send messages directly to your specified channel. Customize the message to include details about the new post, such as the title and the Bitly link.
