2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once logged into Pabbly Connect, click on ‘Create Workflow’ to start the integration process. You will see two sections: Trigger and Action. The Trigger is the event that starts the process, while the Action is what happens as a result.

• Select Twitter as your Trigger application.
• Choose ‘New Tweet’ as the Trigger event.
• Connect your Twitter account by authorizing Pabbly Connect.

After connecting your Twitter account, you can either create a new tweet or click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will retrieve a recent tweet from your account to ensure the connection is working correctly.

3. Connecting Grist to Pabbly Connect

Next, you need to set up the action in Pabbly Connect to send the tweet data to Grist. Select Grist as the Action application and choose ‘Create Record’ as the action event. This will allow you to save the tweet details in your Grist database.

To connect your Grist account, you will need an API key. Log into your Grist account, navigate to Profile Settings, and copy your API key. Return to Pabbly Connect and paste the API key into the connection field. Make sure to select the correct workspace and table where you want the tweet data to be stored.

4. Mapping Data from Twitter to Grist in Pabbly Connect

Once your Grist account is connected, you can map the tweet data to the appropriate fields in Grist. In Pabbly Connect, you will see fields corresponding to the data you want to save, such as tweet text and timestamp.

• Map the ‘New Tweet’ field to the tweet text in Grist.
• Map the timestamp to the corresponding field in Grist.

After mapping the data, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to create a test record in Grist. This will confirm that your integration is working as expected, and the tweet data will be saved automatically in your Grist database.

5. Finalizing the Twitter to Grist Integration

After successfully testing the integration, you can now start using it in real-time. Whenever you make a new tweet on Twitter, Pabbly Connect will automatically send the tweet data to your Grist database. Keep in mind that it may take a few moments for the data to appear in Grist due to polling intervals.

To verify that everything is working, you can create a new tweet and check your Grist database after a short period. If everything is set up correctly, your new tweet should appear in the designated table in Grist.
