To start sharing articles from Google Sheets to LinkedIn automatically, you need to set up Pabbly Connect. First, log in to your Pabbly Connect account. If you don’t have one, you can create it easily and enjoy 100 free automation tasks each month.

Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard, and click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow something relevant, like ‘Create Post on LinkedIn from Google Sheets Automatically’. After that, click on the ‘Create’ button to initiate your workflow.

2. Configuring Google Sheets as the Trigger App in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will configure Google Sheets as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Click on the trigger section and select Google Sheets as your app. Then, choose the trigger event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. This will activate the workflow whenever a new row is added in your Google Sheets.

Upon selecting the trigger, Pabbly Connect will provide a webhook URL. Copy this URL as it will be used to connect Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect. After that, go to your Google Sheets where you have your article details and paste this webhook URL in the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on.

• Open your Google Sheets and enter the article details.
• Click on ‘Extensions’ and then ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’.
• Select ‘Initial Setup’ and paste the webhook URL you copied earlier.

After pasting the URL, refresh your Google Sheets to ensure the add-on is active. Now, whenever you add a new row with article details, the workflow will trigger automatically.

3. Testing Your Google Sheets Integration with Pabbly Connect

To ensure everything is set up correctly, you need to test the configuration in Pabbly Connect. After pasting the webhook URL in your Google Sheets, click on the ‘Send Test’ button in Pabbly Connect. This will send the data from the first row of your Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect.

Once the test data is received, you will see it in the response section. If the data is correct, proceed to the next step. You also need to click on the ‘Send on Event’ button in the Pabbly Connect Webhooks add-on to ensure that new entries will trigger the workflow automatically.

4. Connecting LinkedIn as the Action App in Pabbly Connect

Now that Google Sheets is set up as the trigger, it’s time to connect LinkedIn as the action app in Pabbly Connect. Click on the action tab and select LinkedIn from the app options. Choose the action event as ‘Share an Article or URL’. This will allow you to post the article link from Google Sheets directly to LinkedIn.

After selecting the action event, click on ‘Connect’ and then ‘Add New Connection’. You will be prompted to log in to your LinkedIn account. Once connected, Pabbly Connect will display fields to map the data received from Google Sheets.

• Map the content title from Google Sheets to the LinkedIn post.
• Map the article URL to the corresponding field in LinkedIn.
• Set the visibility of the post (Pabbly or connections only).

Once all fields are mapped correctly, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify the connection. If successful, a test post will appear on your LinkedIn profile.
