Once you sign up, you can start creating workflows. For existing users, simply log in to your Pabbly Connect account. This platform is essential for integrating various applications like Instagram and Discord, allowing you to automate notifications for new posts.

2. Create a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After logging into Pabbly Connect, navigate to the workflow builder. This is where you will set up the automation to share your social media posts on Discord. Click on the ‘Add New Workflow’ button to get started.

In the workflow builder, you will need to define a trigger and an action. The trigger is the event that starts the workflow, while the action is what happens as a result. For this automation, the trigger will be a new post on Instagram.

• Click on the ‘Add Trigger’ button.
• Search for Instagram and select ‘Instagram for Business’.
• Choose the event ‘New Media Posted in My Account’.

After setting the trigger, click on the ‘Connect’ button to link your Instagram account with Pabbly Connect. If you’ve previously connected your account, you can select the existing connection.

3. Connect Instagram and Test the Trigger

Once you have selected the Instagram trigger in Pabbly Connect, you will need to connect your Instagram account. Ensure that both your Instagram and Facebook accounts are logged in. Click on the ‘Continue’ button to establish the connection.

Next, you will need to select the specific Instagram account you wish to use. After selecting the account, click on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button. This action will capture the last post you made on Instagram.

• Make sure to post something new on Instagram to test the automation.
• Remember that Instagram checks for new data every 10 minutes.

This setup ensures that the workflow will run every 10 minutes to check for new posts, allowing you to automate notifications to your Discord channel.

4. Set Up Discord Action in Pabbly Connect

With the Instagram trigger successfully set up in Pabbly Connect, the next step is to add an action to send a message to Discord. Click on ‘Add New Action Step’ and search for Discord.

Select the event ‘Send Channel Message’. You will need to connect your Discord account by providing the webhook URL. To get this URL, go to your Discord server, navigate to server settings, and then to integrations. Click on ‘Webhooks’ and create a new webhook.

Change the name of the webhook and select the channel for notifications. Copy the generated webhook URL and paste it back into Pabbly Connect.

In the message field, you can customize the alert message. For example, you can set it to say ‘New Instagram post alert! Check it out here: [link]’. Use mapping to insert dynamic data from the Instagram post.

5. Test and Enable Your Automation

After configuring the action step for Discord in Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button. This will send a test message to your Discord channel with the details of the last Instagram post.

If the test is successful, you will see the message in your Discord channel. This setup ensures that every time you post on Instagram, a notification will be sent to Discord automatically, enhancing engagement with your content.

Now, you can enable your workflow in Pabbly Connect. Whenever you post something new on Instagram, your team will be alerted instantly on Discord, allowing for immediate interaction with your posts.
