Once you have signed up, log in to your Pabbly Connect dashboard. From there, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. You’ll be prompted to name your workflow; for this tutorial, we will name it ‘Social Blade Stats on SMS.’ After naming it, click on the ‘Create’ button to proceed.

2. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

The next step is to set up the trigger for your workflow in Pabbly Connect. For this automation, we will use the scheduler feature to run the workflow daily. Click on the trigger module and select the ‘Scheduler’ option. This feature allows you to specify when you want the automation to run.

• Select the frequency: Choose ‘Every Day’.
• Set the time: Input the time you want the stats to be fetched, e.g., 19:00 (7 PM).

After configuring these settings, click on the ‘Save’ button. Your workflow is now scheduled to run every day at the specified time, ready to fetch the Social Blade stats.

3. Fetching Statistics from Social Blade

Now that you have scheduled your workflow, the next step is to fetch the statistics from Social Blade using Pabbly Connect. In the action step, select the Social Blade application. The action event should be set to ‘Get Statistics’. Click on ‘Connect’ and then choose ‘Add New Connection’.

You will need to enter the Client ID and Access Token from Social Blade. To obtain these, click on the respective links provided in the Pabbly interface, which will redirect you to Social Blade to copy the necessary credentials. After entering these details, select the platform from which you want to fetch stats, such as YouTube, and input the account name (e.g., Social Blade’s YouTube channel name).

4. Sending Stats via Twilio SMS

With the stats fetched, we can now set up the SMS sending action using Twilio within Pabbly Connect. Click on the plus icon to add a new action and search for Twilio. Select the action event ‘Send SMS Message’. Click on ‘Connect’ and then ‘Add New Connection’. You will need to input your Twilio Account SID and Auth Token, which can be found in your Twilio console.

• Enter the sender’s number: Use your approved Twilio phone number.
• Input the recipient’s number: Enter your phone number with the country code.

In the SMS body, you can craft a message that includes the fetched stats. Use the mapping feature to insert dynamic data from the previous steps, ensuring that you receive updated stats every day. Save and send a test request to verify that the SMS is being sent correctly.
