2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once you are in your Pabbly Connect dashboard, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. You will need to give your workflow a meaningful name, such as ‘Automatically Post New Products to Instagram from WooCommerce’. After naming your workflow, select the folder for organization and click on the ‘Create’ button.

• Select the trigger application as WooCommerce.
• Choose the trigger event as ‘New Product Created’.
• Set the action application to Instagram for Business and action event to ‘Publish a Photo’.

This setup allows Pabbly Connect to automatically post new products as they are created in your WooCommerce store, streamlining your promotional efforts on Instagram.

3. Connecting WooCommerce to Pabbly Connect

To connect your WooCommerce store with Pabbly Connect, you will need to copy the provided webhook URL from your workflow. Go to your WooCommerce account and navigate to the settings. Click on the ‘Advanced’ tab and then on ‘Webhooks’.

• Click on ‘Add Webhook’.
• Name your webhook as ‘New Product Added’.
• Set the status to ‘Active’ and select the topic as ‘Product Created’.
• Paste the copied webhook URL into the delivery URL field.

After saving the webhook, return to Pabbly Connect and capture the webhook response to ensure the connection is successful. This step is crucial for the automation to function properly.

4. Testing the Integration with New Products

After setting up the webhook in WooCommerce, it’s time to test the integration. Add a new product in your WooCommerce store, such as a ‘Round Neck T-Shirt’. Fill in the product details, including description, price, and product image, and then publish the product.

Once published, go back to Pabbly Connect and check if the new product details have been captured. You should see the product name, image, and link captured successfully, confirming that the trigger is working as expected.

5. Connecting Instagram for Business to Pabbly Connect

Now that the WooCommerce integration is confirmed, the next step is to connect your Instagram account. In Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Connect’ button for Instagram for Business. If you have previously logged into your Facebook account, Pabbly Connect will detect it automatically.

Click on ‘Continue’ to authorize the connection. Once connected, you will need to map the photo URL and caption fields. Use the mapping feature to automatically pull the product name and price from the previous step, ensuring your Instagram post is informative and engaging.

After mapping the required fields, click on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button. If successful, check your Instagram account to see if the new product image has been posted. This confirms that your automation is fully operational, allowing you to promote new products instantly.
