1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Social Media Automation

To begin posting social media content from new blog posts, you need to access Pabbly Connect. Start by visiting the Pabbly Connect landing page by searching ‘Pabbly.com/connect’ in your browser.

Once on the landing page, you have the option to sign in or sign up for free. If you are a new user, click on ‘Sign up for free’ to receive 100 free tasks each month. Existing users should click on ‘Sign in’ to access their account. After signing in, click on ‘Access Now’ under Pabbly Connect to enter the dashboard.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After accessing Pabbly Connect, the next step is to create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. You will be prompted to choose between the new workflow builder or the classic one. For this tutorial, select the classic workflow builder for its stability.

• Enter your workflow name.
• Select the folder to save this workflow.
• Click on ‘Create’ to proceed.

Once you click ‘Create’, the workflow window will open. This window is crucial as it contains the trigger and action settings that will drive the automation process.

3. Setting Up the Trigger Application with WordPress

In the workflow window of Pabbly Connect, the first step is to set the trigger application. Search for and select ‘WordPress’ as the trigger application. Choose the trigger event as ‘New Post Published’. This event will notify Pabbly Connect whenever a new blog post is published on your WordPress site.

After selecting the trigger, Pabbly Connect will generate a webhook URL. Copy this URL as it will be used to connect WordPress with Pabbly Connect. Next, log into your WordPress account, navigate to the plugins section, and ensure you have the WP Webhooks plugin installed and activated.

4. Configuring WordPress to Send Data to Pabbly Connect

To configure WordPress to send data to Pabbly Connect, go to the WP Webhooks settings. Click on ‘Add Webhook URL’ and enter a name for your webhook, such as ‘New Post’. Paste the copied webhook URL and save the settings.

• Select ‘Post’ for trigger on selected post types.
• Set the initial post status to ‘Publish’.

After saving the settings, Pabbly Connect will show a message indicating it’s waiting for a webhook response. To test this, create a new blog post in WordPress and publish it. This will send a test response back to Pabbly Connect, confirming the integration is working.

5. Setting Up Actions for Social Media Posting

With the trigger set up, the next step in Pabbly Connect is to define the action applications. Start by selecting ‘OpenAI’ as the action application. Choose the action event as ‘ChatGPT’ to generate social media content for Facebook and LinkedIn based on your blog post.

To connect OpenAI, you will need an API key. Navigate to your OpenAI account to create a new secret key, then paste this key into Pabbly Connect. After connecting, map the blog title and permalink in the prompt to generate the content dynamically.

Next, add another action step for Facebook Pages to create a page post. Connect your Facebook account and select the page where you want to post. Map the content generated by OpenAI into the message field and send the test request. Repeat this process for LinkedIn, ensuring the content is also posted there.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can effectively automate posting social media content from new blog posts using Pabbly Connect. This automation not only saves time but also enhances engagement on platforms like Facebook and LinkedIn, allowing your audience to stay updated effortlessly.
