2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After logging in, you will be directed to the dashboard of Pabbly Connect. Here, you can create a new workflow by clicking on the plus sign and selecting ‘Create Workflow.’ Name your workflow something like ‘Twitter to Tumblr Integration’ to keep it organized.

• Click on the plus sign to create a new workflow.
• Name your workflow appropriately.
• Select the trigger and action applications.

In this workflow, Pabbly Connect will act as the bridge between Twitter and Tumblr. You will set Twitter as the trigger application and Tumblr as the action application. This setup allows you to automatically post images whenever a new tweet is made.

3. Setting Up Twitter as the Trigger

To set up the trigger, select Twitter from the application list in Pabbly Connect. Choose the trigger event as ‘New Tweet’. Click on ‘Connect’ and then select ‘Add New Connection’ to authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Twitter account.

After authorizing, you will need to create a new tweet that includes an image. This step is crucial because Pabbly Connect will capture the details of this tweet, including the media URL. Once the tweet is posted, return to Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to retrieve the tweet data.

4. Formatting Text for Tumblr Posting

After capturing the tweet data, the next step is to format the text for Tumblr. Use the Pabbly Connect Text Formatter to parse the tweet’s full text. This will help you remove any unwanted URLs from the caption.

• Select Text Formatter as the application.
• Choose ‘Text Parser’ as the action event.
• Map the full text from the Twitter response.

In this step, you will specify that you want to capture the text before the URL by entering ‘https’ as the delimiter. Once you save and send the test request, you will receive the cleaned caption, ready for Tumblr.

5. Posting the Image to Tumblr

Now that you have the formatted caption, it’s time to post the image to Tumblr using Pabbly Connect. Add a new action step, select Tumblr as the application, and choose ‘Create Photo Post’ as the action event.

Connect your Tumblr account by clicking on ‘Add New Connection’ and authorizing Pabbly Connect. Once connected, select your Tumblr blog, map the media URL from the Twitter response, and use the cleaned caption for the post. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to publish the image on Tumblr.

After refreshing your Tumblr account, you should see the new image post with the caption. This confirms that your integration is working perfectly, allowing you to post images from Twitter to Tumblr automatically using Pabbly Connect.
