To get email notifications of new tweets using Pabbly Connect, first, you need to access your Pabbly Connect account. If you don’t have one, sign up for free. Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard where you can see all applications.

Click on the blue button labeled ‘Create Workflow’ and give your workflow a name, such as ‘Send Email Notifications for New Tweets on Twitter’. Click on ‘Create’ to proceed to the next step where you will set up your trigger and action applications.

2. Choosing Twitter as the Trigger Application in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will configure Twitter as your trigger application within Pabbly Connect. Select Twitter from the list of applications and choose the trigger event as ‘New Tweet’. This means that every time you create a new tweet, it will initiate the workflow.

Next, you need to connect your Twitter account. Click on ‘Connect’ and then ‘Add New Connection’. Authorize the app by clicking on ‘Authorize App’ to allow Pabbly Connect to access your Twitter account. Once connected, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to start waiting for a new tweet to be created.

3. Creating a New Tweet to Test the Trigger

Now that your Twitter trigger is set up in Pabbly Connect, it’s time to create a new tweet. Go to your Twitter account and compose a new tweet. For example, you could write, ‘This is a sample tweet for Pabbly Connect’. Once posted, return to Pabbly Connect to check if the new tweet has been captured.

After creating the tweet, you should see a response in Pabbly Connect indicating that the new tweet has been detected. The response will include details such as the tweet’s content and the account name. Save this part of the workflow to proceed to the next step.

4. Setting Up Gmail as the Action Application

With the Twitter trigger successfully set, the next step is to configure Gmail as the action application in Pabbly Connect. Select Gmail and choose the action event as ‘Send Email’. You will need to connect your Gmail account to Pabbly Connect by clicking on ‘Connect’. Authorize the connection to give Pabbly Connect permission to send emails on your behalf.

After connecting, fill in the required fields for sending the email. Enter the recipient’s email address, such as your team lead’s email. Set the subject to ‘New Tweet’ and write the body content. You can map the tweet content from the previous step into the email body to include the tweet message. Finally, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to send the email notification.

• Recipient Email: Enter the email address where notifications will be sent.
• Subject: Set as ‘New Tweet’.
• Body: Include a greeting, the tweet content, and a closing.

After configuring the email settings, it’s essential to test the integration. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ in Pabbly Connect to send a test email. Check the recipient’s inbox to ensure that the email notification has been received successfully. The email should contain the details of the new tweet you created.

Once you verify that the email notification has been sent correctly, your integration is complete. You can now receive email notifications for every new tweet you create on Twitter, ensuring that your team is always updated.
