1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Google Sheets and Tumblr Integration

To start automating your Tumblr posts from Google Sheets, first, you need to set up Pabbly Connect. Log in to your Pabbly Connect account and navigate to the dashboard. Here, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to begin.

When prompted, give your workflow a suitable name such as ‘Google Sheets to Tumblr Automation’. After naming your workflow, click the ‘Create’ button to proceed. This setup will allow you to connect Google Sheets and Tumblr through Pabbly Connect.

2. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

The next step is to establish the trigger that will initiate the workflow. In the trigger setup, select ‘Google Sheets’ as your app. The event you need to choose is ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. This event will activate whenever a new row is added to your Google Sheets.

• Select Google Sheets as the trigger app.
• Choose the event ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’.
• Copy the generated webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.

This webhook URL is essential for linking your Google Sheets data with Pabbly Connect. After copying the URL, you can proceed to your Google Sheets to set up the integration.

3. Configuring Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect

Open your Google Sheets where you will be entering the post data. To link Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect, you need to install the ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ add-on. Click on ‘Extensions’, then go to ‘Add-ons’ and select ‘Get Add-ons’.

Search for ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ and install it. Once installed, refresh your spreadsheet. After refreshing, go back to ‘Extensions’, select ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’, and click on ‘Initial Setup’. Here, paste the webhook URL you copied earlier and set the trigger column to the last column of data you will enter.

4. Setting Up the Action to Create a Tumblr Post

After configuring the trigger, it’s time to set up the action that will create a post on Tumblr. In the action step, select ‘Tumblr’ as your action application and choose ‘Create Photo Post’ as the action event. Click on ‘Connect’ to link your Tumblr account with Pabbly Connect.

• Select Tumblr as the action app.
• Choose ‘Create Photo Post’ as the action event.
• Authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Tumblr account.

Once connected, select the blog you want to post to and map the data coming from your Google Sheets into the respective fields for photo URL and caption. This mapping ensures that each new row in your spreadsheet will create a corresponding post on Tumblr.

5. Finalizing the Integration and Testing

After mapping the necessary fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure everything is functioning correctly. If set up properly, you will see a new post created on your Tumblr blog based on the data from your Google Sheets.

Finally, you can enable the ‘Send On Event’ option in the Pabbly Connect Webhooks settings. This will ensure that every time a new row is added to your Google Sheets, a new post will automatically be created on Tumblr without any manual effort. You have now successfully set up the integration using Pabbly Connect.
