1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for YouTube Video Sharing

To share YouTube videos on social media platforms, we will use Pabbly Connect. Start by navigating to the Pabbly Connect website. If you are an existing user, sign in to your account. New users can create a free account to get started.

Once logged in, you will see the dashboard. Click on the button that says ‘Access Now’ next to Pabbly Connect. This will take you to the main interface where you can create your automation workflows.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In Pabbly Connect, creating a workflow is essential for automating the sharing process. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located at the top right corner. A dialog box will prompt you to name your workflow. Enter a name such as ‘How to Share YouTube Videos on Social Media Platforms’.

Next, select a folder where you want to save this workflow. For example, you can choose the ‘YouTube Automations’ folder. After naming your workflow and selecting the folder, click on the ‘Create’ button. You will now see two sections: Trigger and Action.

• Trigger: When a new video is published on YouTube.
• Action: Share the video on Facebook and Twitter.

With this setup, you can automate the sharing process effectively. Now, let’s set up the trigger.

3. Setting Up the YouTube Trigger in Pabbly Connect

For the trigger application, select Pabbly Connect and then choose YouTube as your trigger application. The trigger event should be set to ‘New Video in Channel with Video URL’. This ensures that whenever you publish a new video, it triggers the automation.

Next, click on ‘Connect’ to link your YouTube account with Pabbly Connect. A new window will appear asking you to add a new connection. Click on ‘Add New Connection’ and follow the prompts to authorize access to your YouTube channel.

• Select your YouTube Channel ID where videos will be published.
• Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to confirm the connection.

After confirming, you will see the last video published on your YouTube channel captured in the trigger response. This confirms that YouTube is successfully connected with Pabbly Connect.

4. Sharing YouTube Videos on Social Media Platforms

Now that you have set up the trigger, it’s time to share the video URL on social media platforms. Start by adding an action step for Facebook. Select Facebook Pages as your action application and choose the action event as ‘Create Page Post’.

Connect your Facebook account to Pabbly Connect by clicking on ‘Connect’ and following the authorization steps. Once connected, select the page where you want to post the video. For the message, map the data from the previous step to include the video title and URL.

Map the video title to the message field. Map the video URL to the link URL field.

After filling in the details, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. If successful, check your Facebook page to see the new post. This confirms that your video has been shared successfully through Pabbly Connect.

5. Tweeting the Video from Pabbly Connect

Finally, to share the video on Twitter, add another action step in your workflow. Select X (formerly Twitter) as the action application and choose ‘Create Tweet’ as the action event. Connect your Twitter account to Pabbly Connect using the same method as before.

Once connected, you will need to map the message for the tweet. Include the video title and a message like ‘Check out my new video!’ along with the video URL. After filling in the required fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’.

Map the title and URL from the YouTube trigger. Ensure the tweet message is engaging to attract viewers.

After sending the test request, check your Twitter account to confirm the tweet has been posted. This completes the automation process using Pabbly Connect to share your YouTube videos on social media platforms.

Conclusion

Using Pabbly Connect, you can efficiently automate the sharing of your YouTube videos across social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. This process enhances your online presence and boosts engagement with your audience.
