1. Access Pabbly Connect for Integration

To begin automating the posting of new WordPress posts to LinkedIn, you need to access Pabbly Connect. Start by visiting the Pabbly website and logging into your account. If you don’t have an account, you can sign up for free.

Once logged in, navigate to the Pabbly Connect dashboard. Here, you will find various applications available for integration. Click on the ‘Access Now’ button under Pabbly Connect to proceed with setting up your workflow.

2. Create a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will create a new workflow to connect WordPress and LinkedIn using Pabbly Connect. Click on the blue ‘Create Workflow’ button located on the right side of the dashboard. You will be prompted to name your workflow; choose a relevant name like ‘WordPress to LinkedIn’ and click on ‘Create’.

After creating the workflow, you will see two boxes labeled ‘Trigger’ and ‘Action’. The trigger is the event that starts the workflow, while the action is what happens as a result. For this integration, select WordPress as your trigger application and set the event to ‘New Post Published’.

3. Set Up WordPress Trigger in Pabbly Connect

Now that you have selected WordPress as your trigger application, Pabbly Connect will provide you with a webhook URL. This URL is essential for connecting your WordPress account to Pabbly Connect. Copy this webhook URL as you will need it shortly.

Next, log into your WordPress account. In the WordPress dashboard, navigate to the ‘Plugins’ section and click on ‘Add New’. Search for the ‘WP Webhook’ plugin and install it. After activation, go to the settings of the WP Webhook plugin and select ‘Send Data’. Here, you will add the webhook URL you copied from Pabbly Connect.

• Go to ‘Settings’ in WP Webhook.
• Select ‘Post Created’ from the left sidebar.
• Paste the Pabbly webhook URL and save the settings.

Your WordPress trigger is now set up, and Pabbly Connect is ready to listen for new posts published on your WordPress site.

4. Configure LinkedIn Action in Pabbly Connect

With the WordPress trigger in place, it’s time to set up the action to post on LinkedIn. In Pabbly Connect, select LinkedIn as the action application. Choose the action event as ‘Share an Article or URL’. This is crucial as it allows you to include a link to your WordPress post in the LinkedIn update.

After selecting the action, you will need to connect your LinkedIn account to Pabbly Connect. Click on ‘Connect’, and follow the prompts to authorize the connection. Once connected, you will be able to map the data from your WordPress post to the LinkedIn post.

• Map the content field to the post title from WordPress.
• Map the URL field to the article URL from the WordPress trigger.
• Set the visibility to ‘Pabbly’.

Once the mapping is complete, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify the integration. Check your LinkedIn notifications to confirm that the post has been shared successfully.

5. Test and Verify the Integration

To ensure that the integration between WordPress and LinkedIn via Pabbly Connect works seamlessly, create a new post in your WordPress account. After publishing the post, return to Pabbly Connect and check if the webhook response has been received.

If the integration is successful, you should see a confirmation message in Pabbly Connect indicating that the LinkedIn post was created. You can then view the post on LinkedIn to ensure that the title and URL are correctly displayed.

After testing, you can save your workflow in Pabbly Connect. This automation will now run every time you publish a new post on your WordPress site, automatically sharing it on LinkedIn.
