1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Travel Videos

To create travel videos and share them on a social media platform, the first step is to access Pabbly Connect. Start by navigating to the Pabbly website and selecting the Connect option from the products menu. This platform serves as the central hub for integrating various applications such as Google Sheets, Voxo, and Instagram.

Once on the Pabbly Connect landing page, you can either sign up for a new account or log in if you already have one. After logging in, you will be directed to the dashboard where you can create workflows that automate the posting of travel videos.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Next, it’s essential to create a workflow that connects Google Sheets, Voxo, and Instagram through Pabbly Connect. Click on the plus sign to create a new workflow and name it appropriately, such as ‘Create Travel Videos and Share on Social Media’. This name helps identify the workflow later.

• Click on the trigger window and select the application as ‘Schedule’.
• Set the frequency to run the workflow, such as every day.
• Specify the time in UTC format to schedule the posts.

After setting the trigger, you will need to add an action step to format the current date. Choose the Date and Time Formatter app and set it to retrieve the current date. This will ensure that your posts are scheduled accurately based on the information in your Google Sheets.

3. Integrating Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect

To automate the travel video creation, you must integrate Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect. Add an action step and select Google Sheets, then choose the action event as ‘Lookup Spreadsheet Rows’. This step will allow you to pull data from your travel video sheet.

Connect your Google account and select the spreadsheet containing your travel video data. Specify the sheet name and the column where the scheduled dates are located. This integration will enable Pabbly Connect to fetch the necessary information to create your travel video.

• Ensure the lookup value is set to the date retrieved from the Date and Time Formatter.
• Keep the header option enabled to include column headers in the response.
• Test the connection to ensure data is being pulled correctly.

After successfully connecting Google Sheets, you will be able to access the titles, text, and media links necessary for generating the travel video.

4. Generating and Sharing the Travel Video

Once you have the necessary data from Google Sheets, the next step is to generate the travel video using Voxo through Pabbly Connect. Add another action step, select Voxo, and choose the action event as ‘Generate Native Video’. Connect your Voxo account by entering the required API key and team ID.

Map the title, text, and media fields from your Google Sheets to the corresponding fields in Voxo. Make sure to set the video format suitable for Instagram, typically 16:9. Once you have mapped all fields, save and send a test request to generate the video.

After generating the video, apply a delay of 5 minutes to ensure the video is fully processed before sharing. Add another action step to get the video in MP4 format from Voxo. Map the video URL for sharing on Instagram.

After obtaining the MP4 file, you can proceed to share it on your Instagram account using another action step in Pabbly Connect. Connect to Instagram for Business and map the video URL along with any desired captions.

5. Final Steps and Testing the Integration

Finally, it is crucial to test the entire workflow you have created in Pabbly Connect. Schedule the workflow to run at the current time and observe if the video posts correctly on Instagram after the specified delay. This testing phase ensures all integrations are functioning as intended.

Once you confirm that the video is posted on Instagram, you can save your workflow. This successful integration demonstrates how Pabbly Connect seamlessly connects Google Sheets, Voxo, and Instagram to automate the process of creating and sharing travel videos.

In summary, using Pabbly Connect allows you to automate the creation and sharing of travel videos effortlessly. By following the outlined steps, you can ensure that your travel content reaches your audience on social media platforms without manual intervention.
