1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Twitter and Slack Integration

To start sending new tweets from Twitter to Slack, you must first set up Pabbly Connect. This platform allows you to automate the integration between various applications, including Twitter and Slack. Begin by visiting Pabbly Connect and signing in to your account. If you are a new user, you can sign up for free and receive monthly tasks to test the automation.

Once logged in, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. You will be prompted to name your workflow. For this integration, you might name it ‘Sync New Tweets with Slack Channel Automatically.’ After naming your workflow, click on the ‘Create’ button to proceed.

2. Configuring the Twitter Trigger in Pabbly Connect

Now that your workflow is created, it’s time to configure the trigger. In Pabbly Connect, the trigger is the event that starts your automation. Select Twitter as your trigger application. You need to choose the event type, which in this case is ‘New Tweet.’ This means every time a new tweet is posted on your Twitter account, it will trigger the automation.

• Select Twitter as the trigger application.
• Choose the event type ‘New Tweet’ from the dropdown.
• Click on ‘Connect’ and authorize your Twitter account.

After connecting your Twitter account, click on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button. This action will allow Pabbly Connect to capture the details of your most recent tweet, ensuring that the integration is working correctly.

3. Configuring the Slack Action in Pabbly Connect

Next, you will configure the action that Pabbly Connect will perform once a new tweet is detected. Select Slack as your action application. The action you want to perform is to send a channel message. This means that every time a new tweet is posted, it will be sent to a specified Slack channel.

To set this up, you will need to connect your Slack account to Pabbly Connect. Click on ‘Connect’ and authorize your Slack account. Once connected, select the channel where you want the tweets to be sent. For example, you could choose the ‘Designing Community Channel.’

4. Mapping Tweet Data to Slack Message

After selecting the Slack channel, you will need to map the tweet data to the Slack message. This step is crucial because it ensures that the content of your tweet appears in the Slack message. In the message field, you can select the ‘Full Text’ of the tweet from the dropdown menu provided by Pabbly Connect.

• Select the ‘Full Text’ option to include the tweet content in the message.
• Fill in any additional fields like bot name or icon if desired.

Once you have mapped the tweet data, click on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button. This will send the mapped tweet to your selected Slack channel, confirming that the integration is functioning correctly.

5. Finalizing Your Twitter to Slack Automation

With the mapping complete and the test request sent, your integration is almost ready to go. Pabbly Connect will check for new tweets every 10 minutes, ensuring that your Slack channel is updated with the latest tweets. You can verify the successful integration by checking your Slack channel for the test message.

If everything looks good, your automation is set! From now on, every time you post a new tweet on Twitter, it will automatically be sent to your Slack channel without any manual effort. This is a great way to keep your community informed about your latest tweets.
