After logging in, you will be directed to the application dashboard. Here, locate the Pabbly Connect application and click on “Access Now”. This will take you to the Pabbly Connect dashboard where you can manage your workflows.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In Pabbly Connect, you can create a new workflow for automatic promotions. Click on “Create Workflow” and select “Create from Scratch”. Name your workflow something like “Automatic Promotion of New Products to Social Media”.

  • Choose a folder for your workflow.
  • Select “All Automation” as the folder.
  • Click on “Create” to finalize your workflow setup.

Once the workflow is created, you will see two sections: Trigger and Action. The trigger is what starts the workflow, while the action is what happens as a result. For this workflow, the trigger will be a new product added to your Shopify store.

3. Setting Up Shopify as the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

To set Shopify as your trigger, select “Shopify” from the list of available applications in Pabbly Connect. Then, choose the event as “New Product”. Click on “Connect” to create a connection between Pabbly Connect and your Shopify account.

You will be provided with a webhook URL. This URL will act as a bridge between Shopify and Pabbly Connect. Log in to your Shopify account, navigate to “Settings” and then to “Notifications”.

  • Click on “Create Webhook”.
  • Select “Product Creation” as the event.
  • Paste the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.
  • Save the webhook settings.

Once you save the webhook, you’ll be able to test it by adding a new product in Shopify. Pabbly Connect will capture this event and allow you to proceed with the next steps.

4. Posting New Products to Facebook Using Pabbly Connect

After setting up the Shopify trigger, you can now set Facebook as the action application in Pabbly Connect. Choose “Facebook” and then select the event as “Create Page Post”. Click on “Connect” to link your Facebook account with Pabbly Connect.

Once connected, select the Facebook page where you want to post the new product details. In the message field, you can customize the post content. For example, you can include the product name, price, and description.

  • Enter the message: “We have launched a new product! Here are the details:”.
  • Map the product name and price from the Shopify trigger response.
  • Add the product image URL for visual appeal.

After filling in the necessary details, save the action step, and you’re ready to go. Every time a new product is added to your Shopify store, Pabbly Connect will automatically post it to your selected Facebook page.

5. Enhancing Your Workflow with Open AI

For further enhancement, you can integrate Open AI into your workflow. This allows you to generate catchy descriptions for your new products. Add a new action step in Pabbly Connect and select Open AI as the application.

In this step, choose the event that allows you to generate text. Use the product details captured from Shopify to create a compelling post description. This can be especially useful for marketing during events like Black Friday.

  • Input the product name and features as parameters for Open AI.
  • Map the generated text back to your Facebook post.

By using Open AI in conjunction with Pabbly Connect, you can automate not just the posting, but also the creation of engaging content, making your social media promotions more effective.
