2. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will set up the trigger for receiving stock alerts. Click on the ‘App Trigger’ button in Pabbly Connect and search for ‘RSS by Pabbly’. Choose the event as ‘New Item in Feed’ and click on the ‘Connect’ button. You will be prompted to enter the feed URL for the stock market news.

• Search for the RSS feed of your desired news publisher, such as ‘Hindu RSS’.
• Copy the feed URL from the publisher’s website.
• Paste the feed URL into the feed URL section in Pabbly Connect.

After pasting the URL, select the filter type as ‘Recommended’ and click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. If set up correctly, you should receive a response containing the latest stock news details. This response will be essential for the next steps in your automation.

3. Configuring the Action Step for SMS Alerts

Now that your trigger is set up, it’s time to configure the action step that will send SMS alerts. Click on ‘Add New Action Step’ in Pabbly Connect and search for ‘Twilio’. Select the event as ‘Send SMS Message’ and click on ‘Connect’. If you already have a connection set up with Twilio, choose that option; otherwise, create a new connection.

To create a new connection, you will need your Twilio Account SID and Authorization Token. Log in to your Twilio account, copy these details, and paste them into Pabbly Connect. Once the connection is established, you can start configuring the SMS body.

• Map the title, description, and link from the RSS feed response into the SMS body.
• Specify the sender’s number from your Twilio account and the recipient’s number where you want to receive the alerts.

After completing these configurations, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to test if the SMS is sent successfully. You should receive a confirmation of the SMS sent, along with the details included in the message.

4. Finalizing the Automation Workflow

Once you have tested the SMS functionality, it’s time to finalize your automation in Pabbly Connect. Review your workflow to ensure all steps are correctly configured. Make sure that the trigger checks for new items in the RSS feed every 60 minutes, or adjust the timing as needed.

To finalize, ensure that your Twilio account is properly set up for sending SMS alerts. You can also adjust the SMS body to include any additional information you may want. Once you are satisfied with the setup, save your workflow in Pabbly Connect to activate the automation.

5. Testing and Using Your Stock Alert Automation

After saving your workflow, it’s crucial to test it to ensure everything is functioning as expected. Trigger the automation manually by sending a test request to check if you receive the SMS alert on your designated number. This step is essential to confirm that Pabbly Connect is working correctly with both the RSS feed and Twilio.

If the test is successful, you will start receiving stock alerts automatically via SMS whenever there is new information from the RSS feed. This automation will keep you updated on stock market news without any manual effort.
