1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To create a WordPress post from Google Sheets, the first step is to access Pabbly Connect. Start by visiting the Pabbly Connect website and signing up for a free account if you haven’t already done so. If you have an account, simply log in to your dashboard.

Once logged in, navigate to the ‘All Apps’ page and click on the ‘Access Now’ button under Pabbly Connect. This will take you to the Pabbly Connect dashboard where you can begin setting up your workflow.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In the Pabbly Connect dashboard, click on ‘Create Workflow’. You will need to name your workflow; for instance, you might name it ‘Google Sheets to WordPress’. After naming, click on ‘Create’ to open the workflow interface.

In the workflow interface, you will see two sections: Trigger and Action. The trigger will be the addition of a new row in Google Sheets, and the action will be to create a new post in WordPress. This setup allows Pabbly Connect to automate the entire process.

3. Setting Up the Google Sheets Trigger

In the Trigger section, search for ‘Google Sheets’ and select it as your app. Choose the trigger event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. Upon selection, Pabbly Connect will provide you with a webhook URL which you will need to connect Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect.

Copy this webhook URL and head over to your Google Sheets. Go to the ‘Extensions’ menu, then ‘Add-ons’, and select ‘Get add-ons’. Search for ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ and install it. After installation, refresh your Google Sheet to activate the add-on. Then, go back to ‘Extensions’, find ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’ and click on ‘Initial Setup’.

• Select the appropriate sheet from your Google Sheets.
• Paste the copied webhook URL into the designated field.
• Set the trigger column as the last data entry column of your spreadsheet.

After completing these steps, click on ‘Send Test’ to ensure the connection is successful. Once the test data is sent to Pabbly Connect, click on ‘Submit’ to finalize the setup.

4. Setting Up the WordPress Action

Now, scroll down to the Action section in Pabbly Connect. Search for ‘WordPress’ and select it as your action app. For the action event, choose ‘Create Post’. Click on ‘Connect’ and then select ‘Add New Connection’. Here, you will need to enter your WordPress credentials and the base URL of your site.

Before proceeding, ensure that the WordPress REST API Authentication plugin is installed on your WordPress site. This is crucial for the integration to work correctly. After entering your credentials, click on ‘Save’ to establish the connection. Now, you can map the fields from Google Sheets to the WordPress post fields.

• Map the Post Title from Google Sheets to the corresponding field in WordPress.
• Map the Post Content similarly.
• Select the desired post status such as ‘Publish’ or ‘Draft’.

After mapping all necessary fields, click on ‘Save’ and then ‘Send Test Request’ to verify that the post is created successfully on your WordPress site.

5. Testing the Integration

With the integration setup complete, it’s time to test the automation. Go back to your Google Sheets and add a new row with a title and content for your next post. As soon as you enter this data, Pabbly Connect will automatically create a new post on your WordPress site with the details you provided.

To confirm that the automation works, navigate to your WordPress dashboard, go to the ‘Posts’ section, and check for the new post. You should see it listed there with the title and content you just added in Google Sheets. This real-time automation showcases the power of Pabbly Connect in streamlining your workflow.
