Watch Step By Step Video Tutorial Below

1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In the Pabbly Connect dashboard, you have options to create workflows. Select “Create from Scratch” for a step-by-step setup. This will allow you to define your automation process clearly.

Choose “Create from Scratch” for a detailed setup.
Select the trigger app, which in this case will be RSS by Pabbly.
Define the action app, which will be Slack.

Once you have chosen the apps, you will be prompted to describe your workflow. For example, you can state, “When a new item comes in RSS, send a message on Slack.” After entering this, select the appropriate RSS trigger and Slack action.

3. Setting Up the RSS Trigger

After defining your workflow, the next step is to set up the RSS trigger. In Pabbly Connect, select the RSS app and choose the “New Item” trigger. You will need to provide the feed URL from which to capture updates.

For this tutorial, we will use the Hindu RSS feed URL. Here’s how to do it:

Copy the RSS feed URL from the Hindu RSS page.
Paste the URL into the designated field in Pabbly Connect.
Select the default filter type and click on “Save and Send Test Request”.

This will allow Pabbly Connect to fetch the latest RSS feed updates, confirming that the trigger is set up correctly.

4. Connecting to Slack for Notifications

With the RSS trigger successfully set, the next step is to connect to Slack. In Pabbly Connect, select Slack as your action app. Here, you will need to authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Slack account.

Choose the token type as “User” and grant the necessary permissions. Once connected, select the channel where you want to send the updates. For example, you can choose a channel named “New Updates”.

Select the channel from the dropdown menu.
Map the message content using the article title and link from the RSS feed.
Click on “Save and Send Request” to finalize the setup.

After this, you will see a successful response indicating that your message has been sent to Slack, confirming that the integration is working correctly.
