The next step involves setting up the trigger for your workflow in Pabbly Connect.

• Choose ‘New Post Published’ as the event.
• Click on the ‘Connect’ button to establish a connection.

After clicking ‘Connect,’ you will receive a webhook URL from Pabbly Connect. This URL is crucial as it will be used in your WordPress settings to link both platforms. Copy this URL as you will need to paste it in the WordPress plugin settings.

Now that you have the webhook URL, go to your WordPress dashboard and navigate to the plugins section. Search for the ‘WP Webhooks’ plugin and install it if you haven’t already. Once installed, go to the plugin settings and select the option to add a new webhook. using Pabbly Connect
