2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once you are in Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located at the top right corner. You will be prompted to choose between the new beta and classic workflow builder. For this tutorial, we will use the beta version for its modern features.

After selecting the beta version, a dialog box will appear asking for a workflow name. Enter ‘Automatically Share WordPress Post on Facebook Page’ and choose a folder for the workflow from the left sidebar. Click on the ‘Create’ button to finalize your workflow setup.

• Select the ‘Create Workflow’ button.
• Choose the beta version for a modern experience.
• Name your workflow appropriately.

Now that the workflow is created, you’ll need to set up a trigger which will initiate the automation process.

3. Setting Up the Trigger with WordPress

In Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Add Trigger’ button. Select ‘WordPress’ as your trigger application and choose ‘New Post Published’ as the event. Click on ‘Connect’ to generate a webhook URL that will be used to connect your WordPress account.

Copy the webhook URL provided. In your WordPress account, ensure you have the WP Webhooks plugin installed. Navigate to the plugins section, search for ‘WP Webhooks’, and install it if you haven’t already. Once installed, go to the settings of the WP Webhooks plugin and select the option to send data.

• Select ‘WordPress’ as your trigger application.
• Choose ‘New Post Published’ as the trigger event.
• Copy the generated webhook URL for later use.

With the webhook URL copied, you can now proceed to set up the trigger in your WordPress settings.

4. Configuring WordPress to Send Data

In your WordPress account, access the WP Webhooks settings and select the option to create a new webhook. Name it ‘New Post’ and paste the copied webhook URL into the designated field. This will allow your WordPress site to communicate with Pabbly Connect whenever a new post is published.

Next, configure the trigger settings by selecting the post type as ‘Post’ and setting the initial post status to ‘Published’. This ensures that every time a new post is published, the webhook will send the relevant data to Pabbly Connect.

Name your webhook ‘New Post’. Paste the webhook URL into the settings. Set the post type to ‘Post’ and status to ‘Published’.

Once you save these settings, your WordPress account will be successfully connected to Pabbly Connect, allowing for automated sharing of posts.

5. Sharing Posts on Facebook Using Pabbly Connect

Now that your WordPress is connected to Pabbly Connect, the next step is to set up the action to share the post on Facebook. In Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Add Action’ button and select ‘Facebook Pages’ as your action application. Choose ‘Create Page Post’ as the event.

Click on ‘Connect’ to establish a connection with your Facebook account. If prompted, log in to your Facebook account to allow Pabbly Connect to access your Facebook pages. Select the appropriate Facebook page where you want to share your post.

Select ‘Facebook Pages’ as the action application. Choose ‘Create Page Post’ as the action event. Log in to your Facebook account to establish the connection.

Compose your message for the Facebook post, including the title of the blog post and a link to it. Use the data mapping feature to insert dynamic content from your WordPress post into the message. Finally, save and test the action to ensure everything is working correctly.
