1. Introduction to Pabbly Connect for Automation

In the modern business world, effectively promoting a new product can be a daunting task. However, with Pabbly Connect, automating social media posts for product launches becomes seamless. This tutorial will guide you through setting up an automation that posts new product launches on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn automatically.

Using Pabbly Connect, you can connect various applications without any coding skills. This means every time you create a new product in your Shopify store, it can automatically generate posts across your social platforms. Let’s dive into the step-by-step process of setting this up.

2. Setting Up Your Pabbly Connect Account

To get started, you need to access Pabbly Connect. Visit the Pabbly Connect website and sign in or create a free account. If you’re a new user, you will get 100 free tasks every month, which is perfect for testing your new automation.

• Go to the Pabbly Connect landing page.
• Click on the ‘Sign In’ or ‘Sign Up for Free’ button.
• Once logged in, navigate to the ‘All Pabbly Apps’ section.

After signing in, click on the ‘Access Now’ button for Pabbly Connect. You will then be directed to the dashboard where you can create a new workflow for your product launch automation.

3. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

To create your automation, you will need to set up a new workflow in Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. You can choose between the classic version or the new beta method; the beta method offers a more modern interface.

Rename your workflow to something descriptive, like ‘Share Your Product Launch on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn Automatically’. This will help you identify the workflow later. After naming it, select the appropriate folder and click the ‘Create’ button.

After creating your workflow, you will see two main components: Trigger and Action. The Trigger will be the event that starts your automation, and the Action will be what happens as a result. In this case, the trigger will be a new product creation in Shopify.

4. Connecting Shopify to Pabbly Connect

For the trigger, select Shopify as your application and choose the event as ‘New Product’. This means that every time a new product is created in your Shopify store, Pabbly Connect will capture this event.

After selecting the trigger event, Pabbly Connect will provide you with a webhook URL. This URL needs to be copied and pasted into your Shopify store settings to establish the connection. Navigate to your Shopify settings, go to Notifications, and then Webhooks to create a new webhook.

• Select ‘Product Creation’ as your event.
• Paste the copied webhook URL.
• Choose the latest version for your webhook.

Once you save the webhook, return to Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will check if the connection is successfully established by capturing the response from Shopify.

5. Posting on Social Media Automatically

Now that Shopify is connected to Pabbly Connect, the next step is to set up actions for posting on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Start by adding an action step for Facebook Pages. Select the event as ‘Create Page Photo Post’.

Connect your Facebook account by clicking on ‘Connect with Facebook Page’. After selecting the page you want to post on, map the photo URL and the caption generated from your Shopify product details. Repeat this process for Instagram by selecting ‘Instagram for Business’ as your action application and mapping the same data.

Finally, add an action for LinkedIn to create a text post with an image. Map the image URL and caption accordingly. Once all actions are set, save and test the requests. You should see new posts created across all your platforms automatically whenever a new product is added to your Shopify store.
