2. Accessing Pabbly Connect

To begin the integration, navigate to the Pabbly Connect website at www.Pabbly.com/connect. Here, you will find options to sign in or sign up for free. If you are a new user, you can register for a free account to get started.

• Access the Pabbly Connect dashboard.

Once you are in the dashboard, you are ready to create your workflow that will connect Shopify and Instagram using Pabbly Connect.

3. Creating the Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this section, we will create a new workflow in Pabbly Connect. Click on the Create Workflow button located at the top right corner of your dashboard. You can choose between the new beta method or the classic method; select the classic method for this tutorial.

Rename your workflow to something descriptive, such as ‘Post New Product Listings from Shopify to Instagram Automatically.’ Next, select a folder for your workflow and click on the Create button. You will see two windows appear: one for the trigger and another for the action.

• Click on the Create Workflow button.
• Select the classic method.
• Name your workflow and choose a folder.

Your workflow is now set up, and you can proceed to define the trigger and action for the automation using Pabbly Connect.

4. Setting Up Trigger and Action Steps

Now it’s time to set up the trigger in your Pabbly Connect workflow. For the trigger application, select Shopify and choose the trigger event as New Product. This means that every time you add a new product in Shopify, it will trigger the workflow.

Pabbly Connect will provide you with a unique webhook URL. Copy this URL and log into your Shopify account. Navigate to the Settings option, select Notifications, and then click on Webhooks. Create a new webhook by pasting the copied URL and selecting JSON as the format. Save the webhook to establish the connection.

Select Shopify as the trigger application. Choose New Product as the trigger event. Copy the webhook URL and create a new webhook in Shopify.

Once the webhook is successfully created, Pabbly Connect will wait for a response from Shopify. This step is crucial for the automation to function correctly.

5. Publishing New Product Listings to Instagram

After setting up the trigger, it’s time to configure the action step in your Pabbly Connect workflow. Select Instagram for Business as the action application and choose the action event as Publish Photo. Click the connect button to establish a connection with your Instagram account.

Once connected, you will be prompted to select the Instagram account you wish to use. Map the photo URL and caption from the previous Shopify step. The caption can include dynamic fields such as the product name. After configuring these fields, click on the Save and Send Test Request button to test your setup.

Select Instagram for Business as the action application. Choose Publish Photo as the action event. Map the photo URL and caption from Shopify.
