2. Setting Up Your Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Upon reaching the workflow page in Pabbly Connect, you will need to set up a trigger for your automation. This trigger will be the event that starts your workflow. In this case, select “WordPress” as your trigger application.

This integration allows your WordPress site to communicate with Pabbly Connect, sending post data whenever a new article is published.


4. Testing Your Integration with Pabbly Connect

After setting up the webhook, it’s essential to test the integration to ensure it works correctly. Create a new post in WordPress and publish it. As soon as the post is published, Pabbly Connect should receive the data.

To verify, go back to your Pabbly Connect workflow page. You should see the incoming data from the new post, including the title, description, and image URL. This confirms that the integration is functioning as intended.

Once you have verified the data, you can proceed to set up actions for your automation, such as posting to social media platforms.
