1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start using Pabbly Connect for posting YouTube videos on social media, first, visit the Pabbly Connect website. Here, you can sign up for a new account or log into an existing one. If you’re a new user, you can enjoy 100 free tasks every month, which is perfect for testing out the platform.

After signing in, you will see the dashboard where all Pabbly applications are listed. Click on the Pabbly Connect option to access the integration features. This is where you will create a workflow that automates posting your YouTube videos across various social media platforms.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

To create a new workflow in Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located in the top right corner. You will be prompted to enter a name for your workflow. For example, you can name it ‘Post YouTube Video on Social Media Using AI Agent’. Choose a folder to save your workflow; you might want to create a specific folder for AI agent automations.

• Enter a descriptive name for your workflow.
• Select an appropriate folder for organization.
• Click the ‘Create’ button to finalize your workflow setup.

Once your workflow is created, you will see two sections: Trigger and Action. The trigger will detect when a new video is published on YouTube, and the action will post this video on your selected social media platforms using the AI agent.

3. Setting Up the YouTube Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In the trigger section of your workflow, select YouTube as your trigger application. The event you need is ‘New Video in Channel’. This will allow Pabbly Connect to capture the details of any new video published on your YouTube channel automatically.

After selecting the trigger, click on the connect button. If you haven’t connected your YouTube account before, you will need to authorize it. Once authorized, select your YouTube channel from the dropdown list to ensure that Pabbly Connect is monitoring the correct channel.

• Select ‘YouTube’ as the trigger application.
• Choose the event ‘New Video in Channel’.
• Authorize your YouTube account for connection.

Once the trigger is set, Pabbly Connect will automatically capture the video details like title, description, and URL whenever a new video is published. This is crucial for the next steps in your workflow.

4. Filtering Video Types for Posting

To ensure that only specific video types are shared on social media, add a filter step in your workflow. This is done by selecting ‘Filter by Pabbly’ as your action application. Here, you will set a condition to check if the video type is a standard YouTube video rather than a short.

For the filter condition, select the ‘Kind’ label from the previous response and set the value to ‘YouTube#Video’. This ensures that only regular videos will proceed to the next step of posting on social media via Pabbly Connect.

Add a filter step after the YouTube trigger. Set the condition to check for ‘YouTube#Video’. Test the filter to ensure it works correctly.

This filtering step is essential for maintaining the relevance of your posts on social media platforms. If the condition is true, the workflow will continue to the next action of generating captions.

5. Generating Captions Using AI Agent

Next, you will set up another action step to generate captions for your video using an AI agent. Choose ‘OpenAI’ as the action application and select ‘ChatGPT’ as the action event. This will allow Pabbly Connect to create engaging captions based on the video title and description.

In the prompt section, you need to provide specific instructions for the AI. For example, you can write: ‘I own a business and regularly post content on my YouTube channel. Generate a short, trendy caption summarizing the video title and description with relevant hashtags.’ This will ensure that the AI generates a suitable caption for your audience.

Set OpenAI as the action application. Use the prompt to guide the AI in generating captions. Map the video title and description for dynamic content.

Once the AI generates the caption, you can proceed to post this content on your social media platforms using Pabbly Connect. This automation minimizes the effort needed for social media engagement while maximizing reach and interaction.

Conclusion

Using Pabbly Connect, you can effortlessly automate the process of posting YouTube videos on various social media platforms. By setting up a workflow that includes triggers, filters, and AI-generated captions, you can enhance your audience engagement with minimal effort. This integration not only saves time but also ensures that your content reaches a broader audience effectively.
