2. Creating the Workflow in Pabbly Connect

To create a workflow in Pabbly Connect, log in to your account and click on the plus sign to create a new workflow. Name your workflow something like ‘Tumblr to Google Drive Integration’ and click on create.

This workflow will be based on triggers and actions. The trigger will be a new post on Tumblr, and the action will save the image to Google Drive. Here’s how to set it up:

• Select Tumblr as the trigger application.
• Choose the trigger event as ‘New Post in My Blog’.
• Connect your Tumblr account by clicking on ‘Connect with Tumblr’.

After setting the trigger, you will be prompted to authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Tumblr account, ensuring all data is secure.

3. Uploading an Image to Tumblr

Once your Tumblr account is connected to Pabbly Connect, you need to upload a new image to your Tumblr account. This is essential as the trigger will capture this new post.

For example, upload an image titled ‘Dress Design’ with a suitable caption. After posting, return to Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to capture the details of the new post.

• Ensure the image is uploaded successfully on Tumblr.
• Verify that Pabbly Connect captures the blog title and image URL.

This step is crucial for ensuring that the integration works seamlessly and that the image URL is correctly captured for the next steps.

4. Extracting the Image URL and Saving to Google Drive

After capturing the image details, the next step is to extract the image URL using Pabbly Connect. You will use the Text Formatter app to format the captured data.

Set up an action step to extract the URL from the HTML format. Here’s how to do it:

Choose Text Formatter as the application. Select the action event as ‘Text Basic Formatting’. Map the body content to extract the URL.

This process ensures that you have the correct image URL ready for uploading to Google Drive.

5. Finalizing the Upload to Google Drive

The last step involves saving the extracted image URL to Google Drive using Pabbly Connect. Set up another action step with Google Drive as the application.

In this action step, choose the event ‘Upload a File’ and connect your Google Drive account. Here’s how to finalize the upload:

Map the image URL obtained from the previous step. Specify the folder ID in Google Drive where the image will be saved. Provide a file name including the appropriate extension.

After completing these steps, test the integration to confirm that the image is successfully uploaded to your specified Google Drive folder.
