In your new workflow, you will see two sections: the Trigger and the Action. The trigger is the event that starts the workflow, and the action is what happens as a result. For this integration, select YouTube as the trigger app, and then choose the event New Video in Channel.

3. Connect Your YouTube Account

To connect your YouTube account through Pabbly Connect, click on Connect and then Add New Connection. You will be prompted to authorize Pabbly Connect to access your YouTube account. Select your account and click Continue to grant the necessary permissions.

• Authorize Pabbly Connect to access your YouTube account.
• Select the YouTube channel you want to connect.
• Click Save and Send Test Request to ensure the connection is successful.

After saving, Pabbly Connect will fetch the latest video from your YouTube channel. This confirms that your connection is working correctly and is ready for the next step in your automation process.

4. Connect Your Tumblr Account

Next, you will set up the action step by choosing Tumblr as the action app in Pabbly Connect. Select the action event as Create Link Post because you will be posting a link to your YouTube video.

Click on Add New Connection to connect your Tumblr account. Authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Tumblr blog by following the prompts. Once connected, you will configure the details for your Tumblr post.

• Map the title of your YouTube video to the Link Title field.

Finally, click Save and Send Test Request to publish your post on Tumblr. This will ensure that every new YouTube video is automatically shared on your Tumblr blog.

5. Test the Automation Process

Once you have set up the integration between YouTube and Tumblr via Pabbly Connect, it’s time to test the automation. Upload a new video to your YouTube channel and check the Tumblr blog after a few minutes. Pabbly Connect will pull the new video details and create a post on your Tumblr automatically.

Keep in mind that there may be a slight delay due to the polling mechanism used by Pabbly Connect. Typically, it can take anywhere from one to five minutes for the new post to appear on Tumblr.

After testing, refresh your Tumblr blog to see the new video post. This confirms that your automation is functioning smoothly, allowing you to share your YouTube content effortlessly.
