Next, log in to your WordPress account. Navigate to the ‘Plugins’ section and click on ‘Add New’. Search for the ‘WP Webhooks’ plugin and install it. Once installed, activate the plugin to allow WordPress to send data to Pabbly Connect.

After activation, go to the settings of WP Webhooks and select the option to send data. Choose the trigger as ‘Post Created’ and click on ‘Add Webhook URL’. Paste the webhook URL you copied from Pabbly Connect into the appropriate field. Name your webhook for easy identification.

• Set the trigger to ‘Post Created’.
• Ensure the status is set to ‘Published’.

Once everything is set up in WordPress, return to Pabbly Connect and check if it is waiting for the response from the webhook.

With your webhook configured, it’s time to test the integration. Create a new post in WordPress. Go to the ‘Posts’ section and click on ‘Add New’. Enter a title and content for your post, then click the ‘Publish’ button.

After publishing, switch back to Pabbly Connect. You should see that it has received the response from WordPress, confirming the new post has been created. This response indicates that the integration is functioning correctly.

Now you can proceed to set up the action step in Pabbly Connect. Click on ‘Add New Action Step’ and select Twitter as your action application. Choose the app event as ‘Create Tweet’ and connect your Twitter account to authorize the integration.

5. Finalize and Map Tweet Details

After successfully connecting your Twitter account, you will need to map the fields for the tweet. This involves selecting the message content you want to post on Twitter. You can use the title of your WordPress post as the tweet message.

To do this, map the title and hyperlink of your new post into the respective fields in Pabbly Connect. Once you’ve completed the mapping, click on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button to check if the tweet is successfully created.
