1. Access Pabbly Connect to Start Integration

To begin with, you need to access Pabbly Connect. This platform serves as the central hub for automating tasks between Instagram and Pinterest. If you’re new to Pabbly Connect, you can sign up for a free trial to explore its features.

Once you have created your account, log in to reach the dashboard. From here, you can initiate the automation process. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to start setting up the integration between Instagram and Pinterest.

2. Setting Up Instagram as a Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you’ll set up Instagram as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. This means that whenever you post new media on Instagram, it will trigger an action in Pinterest. Select Instagram for Business as your trigger application.

Next, choose the trigger event as ‘New Media Posted’. This event will activate the workflow whenever new media is uploaded to your Instagram account. After selecting this, click on the connect button to link your Instagram account.

• Select Instagram for Business as the trigger application.
• Choose ‘New Media Posted’ as the trigger event.
• Connect your Instagram account by following the prompts.

Once connected, test the trigger to ensure it fetches the data correctly from your Instagram account. This will confirm that the integration is set up properly.

3. Connecting Pinterest as an Action in Pabbly Connect

Now that Instagram is set up as a trigger, the next step involves connecting Pinterest as the action application within Pabbly Connect. This action will create a new pin in your Pinterest account whenever a new media post is detected on Instagram.

Choose Pinterest as the action application and select the action event as ‘Create Pin’. You will then need to authenticate your Pinterest account, allowing Pabbly Connect to post pins on your behalf. Once authenticated, select the board where you want the new pin to be posted.

• Select Pinterest as the action application.
• Choose ‘Create Pin’ as the action event.
• Authenticate your Pinterest account to allow posting.

After setting up the action, map the image URL from your Instagram post to the image URL field in Pinterest, ensuring that the correct media is pinned. This mapping is crucial for the automation to work seamlessly.

4. Testing the Integration Between Instagram and Pinterest

With both Instagram and Pinterest set up in Pabbly Connect, it’s time to test the integration. This step is vital to ensure that everything functions as expected. Click on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button to see if a new pin is created in your Pinterest account based on the latest Instagram post.

After executing the test, check your Pinterest account to confirm that the new pin has been created successfully. If the test is successful, you will see the new pin reflecting your Instagram media, complete with the title and image you specified.

Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to initiate the test. Verify that the new pin appears in your Pinterest account. Ensure the pin reflects the correct media and title.

This testing phase is essential to validate that the automation setup is functioning correctly. Once confirmed, you can finalize the workflow.

Conclusion: Setting Up Automation with Pabbly Connect

By following these steps, you can successfully automate the process of creating pins in Pinterest whenever new media is posted on Instagram using Pabbly Connect. This integration saves time and ensures that your content is consistently shared across platforms.

Now that your automation is set up, you will only need to configure it once. After that, any new Instagram posts will automatically generate corresponding pins in your Pinterest boards, enhancing your workflow efficiency.
