1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start integrating WordPress and Shopify, access Pabbly Connect by signing in to your account. If you are a new user, you can click on the ‘Sign up for free’ button to create an account and receive 100 tasks for free.

Once signed in, navigate to the Pabbly Connect dashboard. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located on the right side. In the dialog box that appears, name your workflow, for example, ‘Create New Shopify Blog from WordPress Post’, and select the folder where you want to save it.

2. Setting Up the Trigger Application in Pabbly Connect

In this section, we will set up the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Since our trigger application is WordPress, select it from the trigger window. The event will be ‘New Post Published’, which means this will activate whenever a new post is published.

After selecting the trigger application and event, a webhook URL will be provided. Copy this URL as you will need it to connect your WordPress account with Pabbly Connect. Now, go to your WordPress dashboard, navigate to Settings, then WP Webhooks, and click on ‘Send Data’.

• Click on ‘Add Webhook URL’.
• Enter a name for the webhook, such as ‘New’.
• Paste the copied webhook URL from Pabbly Connect.
• Select the post types and save the settings.

Once the webhook is created successfully, you can close the settings. Now, create a new post in WordPress to test the integration. After publishing, return to Pabbly Connect to see if the trigger captured the response correctly.

3. Setting Up the Action Application in Pabbly Connect

Next, we will set up the action application in Pabbly Connect. Click on the action window and search for Shopify. Select it as your action application and choose the event ‘Create Blog Entry’. This will allow us to create a blog in Shopify based on the new post from WordPress.

To establish a connection between Shopify and Pabbly Connect, click on ‘Connect’. If you have an existing connection, you can use that; otherwise, create a new one. You will need to enter the Admin API access token and the subdomain of your Shopify store.

• Go to Shopify and navigate to Apps.
• Create a new app and configure the Admin API scopes.
• Select permissions for blog content and save the settings.

After saving the settings, return to Pabbly Connect and paste the API token. Click on ‘Save’ to establish the connection. Once connected, select the blog where you want to create the new entry.

4. Mapping Data Between WordPress and Shopify

In this step, we will map the data between WordPress and Shopify using Pabbly Connect. You will need to map the title and content of the WordPress post to the corresponding fields in Shopify. This ensures that the data flows correctly from one application to another.

In the action setup, select the blog from the dropdown and map the title from the response received from WordPress. For the content, map it similarly to ensure that the correct information is sent to Shopify. This mapping is crucial as it allows the workflow to pull in new data automatically.

After mapping the required fields, you can choose to publish the blog automatically. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify if the integration works as expected. You should receive a response indicating that the blog entry has been successfully created, along with its details.

5. Finalizing the Integration and Testing

Now that you have set up the trigger and action applications in Pabbly Connect, it’s time to finalize the integration. Ensure that all fields are correctly mapped and that the connection between WordPress and Shopify is established without errors.

To test the integration, go back to WordPress and publish a new post. Check the response in Pabbly Connect to see if the new blog entry appears in Shopify. If everything is set up correctly, you should see the blog created with the title and content from your WordPress post.

This integration enables seamless automation between WordPress and Shopify, ensuring that every new post published on WordPress is automatically reflected as a blog entry on Shopify. With Pabbly Connect, you can easily manage this process without manual intervention.
