1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To automatically post blog updates from WordPress to Twitter, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. This powerful automation platform allows you to create workflows without any coding skills. Simply visit the Pabbly website and sign in to your account.

Once logged in, navigate to the Pabbly Connect dashboard. Here, you can create a new workflow that will connect your WordPress blog to your Twitter account. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to begin setting up your automation.

2. Creating a Workflow to Post Blog Updates

In this section, you will create a workflow in Pabbly Connect specifically designed for posting updates. After selecting ‘Create Workflow’, name your workflow as ‘Automatically Post Blog Updates to Twitter from WordPress’. Choose the appropriate folder for your workflow.

• Name the workflow appropriately.
• Select the correct folder for organization.
• Click on ‘Create’ to finalize the workflow.

After creating the workflow, you will see two options: Trigger and Action. The trigger will be set to WordPress, while the action will connect to Twitter. This setup ensures that every time a new post is published on WordPress, it will automatically be tweeted on Twitter.

3. Setting Up the Trigger from WordPress

To set up the trigger in Pabbly Connect, select WordPress as the trigger application. The specific event we want to trigger is ‘New Post Published’. This means every time a new blog post is created, it will initiate the workflow.

Next, you will need to connect Pabbly Connect with your WordPress account. A webhook URL will be provided, which acts as a bridge between WordPress and Pabbly Connect. Copy this URL and proceed to your WordPress dashboard.

• Go to settings in WordPress and navigate to WP Webhooks.
• Add the webhook URL and name it appropriately.
• Select the post type and status as published.

After saving the settings, your WordPress account will be linked to Pabbly Connect, allowing it to send data whenever a new post is published.

4. Setting Up the Action to Post on Twitter

Now, it’s time to set up the action step in Pabbly Connect. Here, you will select Twitter as the action application. The action event will be ‘Create Tweet’. Click on connect to establish the link between Pabbly Connect and your Twitter account.

If you do not have an existing connection, you will be prompted to enter your Twitter API credentials, including Client ID and Client Secret. These can be obtained from the Twitter Developer Portal. After entering this information, authorize the application to connect.

Select the correct action event as ‘Create Tweet’. Enter the required API credentials for Twitter. Authorize the application to finalize the connection.

Once connected, you can set up the tweet message. Use dynamic mapping to pull in the blog post title and permalink from the previous response. This ensures that every new tweet will reflect the latest blog post automatically.

5. Testing the Integration and Finalizing Setup

After configuring both the trigger and action, it’s essential to test the integration in Pabbly Connect. Create a new post in your WordPress account to see if it triggers the workflow correctly. Once the post is published, check your Twitter account to verify that the tweet appears as expected.

If the test is successful, you will see the tweet reflecting the new blog post instantly. This confirms that the integration between WordPress and Twitter through Pabbly Connect is functioning as intended.

In case you encounter any issues, revisit the settings in both WordPress and Pabbly Connect to ensure everything is configured correctly. With this setup, you can now automatically post updates to Twitter every time you publish a new blog post on WordPress.
