Here, you can give your workflow a name, such as ‘Auto Post WordPress Blogs on Social Media Platforms’, and select a folder for organization.

2. Set Up Trigger and Action in Pabbly Connect

In this step, we will set up the trigger and action in Pabbly Connect. The trigger will be ‘WordPress’, which will initiate the workflow when a new blog post is published. Select ‘New Post Publish’ as the trigger event.

• Choose ‘WordPress’ as the trigger application.
• Select ‘New Post Publish’ as the trigger event.
• Copy the Webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.

Next, you need to connect your WordPress account with Pabbly Connect using the Webhook URL. This URL will act as a bridge for sending data from WordPress to Pabbly Connect. Install the WP Webhooks plugin on your WordPress site if you haven’t already, and follow the setup instructions to add the Webhook URL.

3. Publish a Blog to Test the Integration

After setting up the Webhook, it’s time to test the integration. Create a new blog post in WordPress. Add a title and content, for example, ‘Impact of Fast Fashion in India’. After entering your content, click on ‘Publish’.

Once the blog is published, return to Pabbly Connect. You should see a message indicating that the Webhook response has been received. This confirms that your integration between WordPress and Pabbly Connect is successful, allowing for automatic data capture of the new blog.

Now that the integration is working, we will configure Pabbly Connect to share your blog on Facebook. Select ‘Facebook Pages’ as the action application and choose ‘Create Page Post’ as the action event.

• Connect your Facebook account to Pabbly Connect.
• Select the Facebook Page where you want to post.
• Map the title and content of your blog post from the previous step.

After mapping the required fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. Check your Facebook page to confirm that the post has been created successfully, displaying the title and content of your blog.

5. Share Your Blog on LinkedIn with Pabbly Connect

In this final step, we will set up Pabbly Connect to share your blog on LinkedIn. Select ‘LinkedIn’ as the action application and choose ‘Share Simple Text’ as the action event.

Connect your LinkedIn account to Pabbly Connect and map the blog title and content as you did for Facebook. Ensure that the visibility is set to Pabbly, so your connections can see the post. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to finalize the setup.

Once the request is successful, visit your LinkedIn profile to verify that the post has been created. This confirms that your blog is now automatically shared on multiple social media platforms using Pabbly Connect.
