1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Automation

To begin automating your Pinterest posts to WordPress, start by accessing Pabbly Connect. Log into your account to reach the dashboard, where you can create a new workflow.

Once on the dashboard, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow, for example, ‘Create WordPress Post from Pinterest Pins Automatically’ and click ‘Create’. This sets up the foundation for your automation using Pabbly Connect.

2. Setting the Trigger Event in Pinterest

In this step, you will set the trigger event that initiates the automation in Pabbly Connect. Click on the trigger section and select Pinterest as the app. Choose the trigger event as ‘New Pin’.

• Click on ‘Connect’ and select ‘Add New Connection’.
• Log into your Pinterest account and grant access.
• Select the board where you create your pins.

After selecting your board, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This action fetches the most recently created pin details from Pinterest, which will be used in the next steps.

3. Creating a Post in WordPress

With the trigger set, it’s time to configure the action in Pabbly Connect. In the action section, select WordPress as the app and choose the action event ‘Create Post’.

Next, connect your WordPress account by entering your username, password, and the base URL. The base URL should be copied from your WordPress dashboard, excluding the ‘https://’ and any additional paths.

• Map the post title using the title from the Pinterest pin.
• Map the post content using the description and the image URL from Pinterest.
• Set the status for the post (e.g., Publish, Draft).

After mapping all necessary fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to create the post in WordPress. This will automatically publish the new post based on the Pinterest pin you created.

4. Verifying the Automation Setup

After saving your settings, it’s crucial to verify that the automation works correctly using Pabbly Connect. Refresh your WordPress site to check if the new post appears as expected.

You should see the post with the title and image matching the Pinterest pin. This confirms that your integration is functioning properly, and every new pin will now create a post on your WordPress site automatically.

5. Conclusion

By following these steps, you’ve successfully set up an automation that posts Pinterest pins to WordPress using Pabbly Connect. This process saves time and ensures your content is consistently updated across platforms.

Remember, once this workflow is established in Pabbly Connect, it runs automatically, allowing you to focus on creating content rather than managing posts manually.
