1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To automate publishing new blog posts from WordPress to Tumblr, you need to access Pabbly Connect. This platform enables seamless integration between various applications, allowing for efficient workflows. Start by creating a free account on Pabbly Connect, which offers 100 free automation tasks each month.

Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard. Here, you will create a new workflow that will facilitate the automation process. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and name your workflow appropriately, like ‘WordPress to Tumblr Automation’. This setup is straightforward and requires no coding knowledge.

2. Setting Up WordPress as the Trigger Application

In this step, you will configure WordPress as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. The trigger event will be the creation of a new blog post. Search for WordPress in the trigger application list and select it.

• Choose the trigger event as ‘New Post Published’.
• Copy the generated VB Hook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.
• Install the WP Webhooks plugin in your WordPress dashboard.

After installing the plugin, go to the settings and add the copied VB Hook URL. This URL will allow Pabbly Connect to fetch data from your WordPress site whenever a new post is published.

3. Configuring WordPress Settings for Webhooks

After setting up the VB Hook URL in Pabbly Connect, you need to configure the WordPress settings. Navigate to the WP Webhooks plugin settings in your WordPress dashboard. Here, select the ‘Send Data’ option and then choose ‘Post Created’.

Next, you will add the VB Hook URL you copied earlier. Name this webhook appropriately, such as ‘Tumblr Webhook’. Make sure to set the trigger on the selected post type to ‘Post’ and the post status to ‘Published’. Save these settings to ensure the webhook is active.

Once configured, Pabbly Connect will start waiting for a response from WordPress. You can test this by creating a new blog post in WordPress, which will send data to Pabbly Connect through the webhook.

4. Connecting Tumblr as the Action Application

With WordPress set up as the trigger, it’s time to configure Tumblr as the action application in Pabbly Connect. Search for Tumblr in the action application list and select it. Choose the action event as ‘Create Link Post’.

Connect your Tumblr account by clicking on ‘Connect with Tumblr’. This will prompt you to log into your Tumblr account and authorize the connection. Once connected, select the specific Tumblr blog where you want the posts to appear.

• Map the data fields from the WordPress post to the Tumblr post.
• Include the post title, permalink, and description in the appropriate fields.
• Set the post status to ‘Published’ to ensure it goes live immediately.

After mapping the data, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to test the connection. If successful, a new post will appear on your Tumblr blog, showcasing the link to your WordPress post.

5. Finalizing Your Automation Setup

Once you have tested the connection and confirmed that the Tumblr post is created successfully, your automation setup is complete. This means that every time you publish a new blog post on WordPress, it will automatically create a corresponding post on your Tumblr account through Pabbly Connect.

This automation not only saves time but also ensures that your content reaches a wider audience without additional manual effort. You can continue to create blog posts in WordPress, and they will be shared on Tumblr automatically.

For further convenience, you can clone this workflow using the link provided in the description, allowing you to easily set it up in your own Pabbly Connect account.

Conclusion

In conclusion, using Pabbly Connect to automate the process of publishing new blog posts from WordPress to Tumblr streamlines your workflow significantly. This integration saves time and enhances the visibility of your content across platforms.
