1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start automating the process of adding new product posts to Pinterest from Shopify, first, access Pabbly Connect. You can do this by visiting Pabbly.com/connect in your web browser. This platform is designed to facilitate seamless integrations without requiring any coding skills.

Once on the Pabbly Connect page, you will need to sign into your account. If you’re a new user, simply click on the ‘Sign Up for Free’ option to create an account. After logging in, you will be directed to the Pabbly Connect dashboard where you can create and manage your workflows.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After accessing your Pabbly Connect dashboard, the next step is to create a new workflow for integrating Shopify and Pinterest. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. You will be prompted to choose between the new beta workflow builder and the classic one. For this tutorial, select the classic version. using Pabbly Connect

• Click on ‘Create Workflow’ and name it ‘Automatically Add New Product Post to Pinterest from Shopify’.
• Select the folder where you want to save this workflow.
• Click on ‘Create’ to finalize the new workflow.

Upon creation, you will see two boxes labeled ‘Trigger’ and ‘Action’. The trigger indicates when the automation starts, while the action defines what happens as a result. In this case, the trigger will be when a new product is created in Shopify, and the action will be to create a pin in Pinterest.

3. Setting Up Shopify as the Trigger Application

In this step, you will set Shopify as the trigger application in your Pabbly Connect workflow. Click on the trigger box and select Shopify from the list of applications. Then, choose the event ‘New Product Created’. This means that every time a new product is added to your Shopify store, it will trigger the workflow. using Pabbly Connect

Next, you need to connect Pabbly Connect with your Shopify account. A webhook URL will be provided by Pabbly Connect, which acts as a bridge between the two applications. Go to your Shopify account, navigate to Settings, and then to Notifications. Click on Webhooks and create a new webhook.

• Select the event as ‘Product Creation’.
• Set the format to JSON and paste the webhook URL from Pabbly Connect.
• Choose the latest API version and click ‘Save’.

Once saved, return to Pabbly Connect, and you will see that it is waiting for a webhook response. This indicates that the connection is set up correctly and ready to receive data from Shopify.

4. Creating a Pin in Pinterest as the Action Application

With the trigger set up, the next step is to configure the action application, which in this case is Pinterest. Click on the action box and select Pinterest. Then, choose the action event as ‘Create a Pin’. Click on ‘Connect’. If you already have a connection, you can save it; otherwise, select ‘Add New Connection’. using Pabbly Connect

Upon connecting, you will need to authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Pinterest account. After granting access, you will need to specify the board where the pin will be created. For this, select the appropriate board from your Pinterest account.

Use the mapping feature to dynamically input data from the Shopify response. Map the image URL, title, and description from the Shopify product details. Avoid entering static data to ensure the pin updates with new products.

After filling in the required fields, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’. If successful, you will see the new pin created in your Pinterest account.

5. Testing and Executing the Workflow

Now that you have set up the trigger and action applications, it’s time to test the workflow. Go back to your Shopify account and create a new product. Fill in the product details such as title, description, and upload an image. Once done, click ‘Save’. This action will trigger the workflow in Pabbly Connect.

After saving the product, return to Pabbly Connect and check the webhook response. You should see the details of the newly created product. If the response is received correctly, it indicates that the connection between Shopify and Pabbly Connect is working effectively.

Confirm that the pin has been created in your Pinterest account with the correct details. Ensure that the title, description, and image are accurately represented in the pin. This finalizes the integration process.

With the successful execution of the workflow, you have now automated the process of adding new product posts to Pinterest from Shopify using Pabbly Connect. This automation will save you time and streamline your social media marketing efforts.
