1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To begin integrating RSS feeds with WhatsApp, you need to access Pabbly Connect. If you’re an existing user, simply log in to your account. New users should open a new tab and search for “pabbly.com/connect” to reach the Pabbly Connect landing page.

Once on the landing page, click on the “Sign Up for Free” button located in the top right corner. This will allow you to explore Pabbly Connect with 100 free tasks every month, giving you a chance to test its capabilities before committing to a subscription plan.

2. Setting Up Your Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After logging into Pabbly Connect, navigate to the workflow builder. This is where you will create your automation. The workflow is built on two main components: triggers and actions. A trigger initiates the process, while an action is the resulting task.

  • Click on the “Add Trigger” button.
  • Select “RSS by Pabbly” as the trigger application.
  • Choose “New Item in Feed” as the event.
  • Enter the RSS feed URL you want to monitor.

For instance, if you want to receive updates from the Hindu RSS feed, search for the specific feed URL and copy it. After pasting the URL into Pabbly Connect, set the filter type to default and click on “Save and Send Test Request” to confirm that everything is working correctly.

3. Configuring WhatsApp Alerts Through Pabbly Connect

With your RSS feed set up, the next step is to configure how you will receive alerts on WhatsApp using Pabbly Connect. Click on the “Add New Action Step” to begin this process. Here, you will search for “Pabbly Chatflow” to send automated WhatsApp messages.

Select “Send Text Message” as the event for the action application. If you have previously connected your Pabbly Chatflow account, you can select the existing connection. Otherwise, you will need to create a new connection by providing the API token from your Pabbly Chatflow account.

  • Log into Pabbly Chatflow and navigate to the settings.
  • Copy the API token from the API and Webhooks section.
  • Paste the token into Pabbly Connect to establish the connection.

Once connected, enter the recipient’s mobile number (make sure to include the country code without the plus sign) and set up your WhatsApp message template. Use dynamic mapping to include the news headline, description, and link in your message.

4. Testing and Activating Your Integration

Now that you have set up your WhatsApp message template, it’s time to test the integration using Pabbly Connect. Click on “Save and Send Test Request” to send a test message to your WhatsApp number. If everything is set up correctly, you should receive a message with the latest news updates.

Make sure to check your WhatsApp to confirm that the message has been received. Once you have verified the test message, you can finalize your workflow. Set the trigger time to check for new updates at your preferred interval, such as every 60 minutes.

  • Adjust the trigger time settings to your liking.
  • Ensure all settings are saved properly.

After confirming that everything works as expected, activate your integration. You will now receive WhatsApp alerts for new RSS feed items automatically.
