1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for WordPress and Notion Integration

To integrate WordPress with Notion, you will utilize Pabbly Connect. Begin by accessing the Pabbly Connect dashboard at Pabbly.com/connect. If you are a new user, you will need to sign up for a free account, which provides free tasks to test your automation.

Once signed in, click on the blue button to create a workflow. You will need to name your workflow, for example, ‘When a blog is published on WordPress, add details to Notion’. Click on the Create button to proceed.

2. Setting Up the Trigger Event in Pabbly Connect

The next step involves setting up the trigger event in Pabbly Connect. Select WordPress as your first application and choose the trigger event ‘New Post Published’. This action will trigger the workflow whenever a new blog post is published on your WordPress site.

• Select WordPress as the application.
• Choose ‘New Post Published’ as the trigger event.
• Copy the provided webhook URL for further integration.

After copying the webhook URL, navigate to your WordPress website and install the WP WebEx plugin if it is not already installed. Go to the plugin settings and paste the webhook URL into the designated field to connect your WordPress site with Pabbly Connect.

3. Configuring WordPress Settings for Webhook

In this step, you will configure the settings in WordPress to ensure that the webhook triggers correctly. Within the WP WebEx plugin settings, select the option to send data when a new post is created.

Ensure you name the webhook appropriately, such as ‘Connect Notion and WordPress’. Save the settings to complete this configuration. This setup allows Pabbly Connect to receive data from WordPress whenever a new post is published.

4. Mapping Data from WordPress to Notion Database

After setting up the webhook, it is time to map the data to your Notion database. In Pabbly Connect, select Notion as your next application and choose the action event ‘Create Database Item’. This action will allow you to send the post details to your Notion database.

• Select Notion as the application.
• Choose ‘Create Database Item’ as the action event.
• Authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Notion account.

After authorization, select the Notion database where you want the blog post details to be added. Map the fields from the WordPress post such as the post title, URL, and publish date to the corresponding fields in your Notion database. This mapping ensures that every new post published in WordPress is reflected in Notion automatically through Pabbly Connect.

5. Testing and Completing the Integration

To finalize the integration, you need to test the setup. Create a dummy blog post in WordPress and publish it. This action will trigger the webhook in Pabbly Connect and capture the data of the newly published post.

Once the data is captured, check your Notion database to see if the new post details have been added. If everything is set up correctly, your Notion database should now display the title, URL, and publish date of the new blog post. This automation will now work seamlessly, adding new WordPress posts to Notion automatically.

Conclusion

This tutorial demonstrated how to automate the process of adding new WordPress posts to Notion databases using Pabbly Connect. With this integration, you can efficiently manage your blog content and ensure that all your posts are backed up in Notion automatically.
