1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To automate sharing Tumblr posts to LinkedIn, first, you need to access Pabbly Connect. Start by navigating to the Pabbly website and selecting the Connect option. If you don’t have an account, signing up is free, and you will receive 100 free tasks every month.

Once you are on the Pabbly Connect homepage, click on the ‘Sign In’ button if you already have an account. After logging in, you will be directed to the dashboard where you can create a new workflow.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will create a new workflow to integrate Tumblr with LinkedIn using Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow something descriptive, like ‘Tumblr to LinkedIn.’ This name will help you identify the workflow later.

• Click on ‘Create Workflow’.
• Enter a descriptive name for your workflow.
• Select the applications to connect: Tumblr as the trigger and LinkedIn as the action.

After naming your workflow, you will see two sections: the Trigger (where the event starts) and the Action (where the event ends). In the Trigger section, select Tumblr and choose the event type as ‘New Post in Blog’.

3. Connecting Tumblr to Pabbly Connect

To link your Tumblr account with Pabbly Connect, click on ‘Connect’ in the trigger section. You will be prompted to add a new connection. Allow Pabbly Connect to access your Tumblr account by clicking on ‘Allow’ after entering your credentials.

Once connected, you can choose the type of content you want to share. For this example, select the text type. After saving and sending a test request, Pabbly Connect will retrieve the latest post from your Tumblr account.

4. Setting Up LinkedIn Integration with Pabbly Connect

Now that your Tumblr account is connected, it’s time to set up LinkedIn as the action in Pabbly Connect. In the Action section, select LinkedIn and choose ‘Share Simple Text’ as the action event. Click on ‘Connect’ to add a new connection to your LinkedIn account.

• Select LinkedIn from the Action section.
• Choose ‘Share Simple Text’ as the action event.
• Authorize Pabbly Connect to access your LinkedIn account.

You will then need to map the content from your Tumblr post to the LinkedIn post. This involves selecting the title and body of the Tumblr post to share on LinkedIn. After mapping the required fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to finalize the setup.

5. Finalizing and Testing the Integration

After setting up both Tumblr and LinkedIn connections, it’s time to test your workflow in Pabbly Connect. Post a new article on your Tumblr account. After a short delay due to the polling trigger, check your LinkedIn account for the new post. Refresh your LinkedIn feed to see the latest update.

When you refresh, you should see the Tumblr post shared on LinkedIn. This automation saves you time and ensures you remain active on LinkedIn by automatically sharing relevant content from your Tumblr account.

Conclusion

Using Pabbly Connect, you can easily automate the process of sharing Tumblr posts to LinkedIn. This integration not only saves time but also helps you maintain an active presence on LinkedIn. By following the steps outlined in this tutorial, you can streamline your social media efforts effectively.
