Once on the homepage, you will see options to either sign in or sign up for free. New users can click on ‘Sign up free’ to get 100 free tasks every month, while existing users can simply sign in. This is the first step towards automating your Discord updates using Pabbly Connect.

2. Create a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After signing in, you will be directed to the Pabbly dashboard. To create your automation workflow, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Here, you have the option to choose between the beta version or the classic version of the workflow builder.

This is how Pabbly Connect sets the foundation for your automation.

3. Set Up the Trigger for RSS Feed

In your new workflow, the first step is to set up the trigger. For this integration, select the RSS Reader from the app options in Pabbly Connect. Choose the event as ‘New Item in Feed’ to capture updates from your selected RSS feed.

Next, you will be prompted to enter the feed URL. For this example, use the Hindu’s RSS feed URL. Copy the URL from the RSS feed source and paste it into the designated field in Pabbly Connect. After selecting the feed type, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to confirm the connection. You should receive a successful response, indicating that the trigger is set up correctly.

4. Configure the Action to Post on Discord

With the RSS trigger successfully set, it’s time to configure the action that will post updates to Discord. Choose Discord as your action application and select ‘Send Channel Message (Markdown)’ as the event. Click on ‘Connect’ to set up the connection.

To obtain the webhook URL for Discord, go to your Discord server, click on the server name, and navigate to ‘Server Settings’ > ‘Integrations’ > ‘Webhooks’. Create a new webhook, name it (e.g., ‘New Update’), and select the channel where you want the messages to be posted. Copy the webhook URL and return to Pabbly Connect to paste it into the appropriate field.

• Select the channel for posting updates.
• Configure the message format using mapped data from the RSS feed.
• Test the setup by sending a test message to Discord.

After configuring the message format with dynamic data (like title and link from the RSS feed), click ‘Save and Send Test Request’. If successful, you will see the new message appear in your Discord channel, confirming that Pabbly Connect has successfully automated the process.
