To keep your Google Business Profile active using Pabbly Connect, start by accessing the platform. Open a new tab and enter the URL Pabbly Connect at Pabbly.com/connect. This will take you to the Pabbly homepage where you can either sign in or sign up for free.

If you are new, click on the ‘Sign Up Free’ button to create an account. As an existing user, simply click ‘Sign In’. Once logged in, you will see the dashboard where you can create your automation workflow.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After logging into Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to begin. You will have the option to create from scratch or use AI. For this tutorial, select ‘Create from Scratch’ to build your workflow manually.

• Select the newly launched beta workflow builder for a modern experience.
• Name your workflow, such as ‘Keep Your Google Business Profile Updated Using WordPress Posts’.
• Choose the folder for better organization, if needed.

Click ‘Create’ to proceed to the workflow page where you will set up your trigger. Remember, the trigger is the event that starts the automation process using Pabbly Connect.

3. Setting Up the Trigger for WordPress Posts

In this step, you will set the trigger app as WordPress. Search for WordPress in the trigger app section of Pabbly Connect and select it. Next, choose the event as ‘New Post Published’. This event will activate the workflow whenever a new post is published on your WordPress site.

Click on ‘Connect’ to generate the webhook URL necessary for the integration. Copy this URL as it will serve as a bridge between WordPress and Pabbly Connect.

4. Configuring WordPress to Send Data

Now, navigate to your WordPress dashboard. Go to Plugins and add a new plugin called WP Webhooks. Install and activate it. After activation, find the WP Webhooks settings in the sidebar. Here, you will set up the webhook URL you copied earlier.

• Select ‘Send Data’ to configure the webhook.
• Add the webhook URL and name it, for example, ‘My Business Webhook’.
• Ensure the trigger is set to ‘Post Created’ and save your settings.

With this setup, every time a new post is published, WordPress will send the data to Pabbly Connect, triggering the next action.

5. Adding Posts to Google Business Profile

After configuring WordPress, return to Pabbly Connect to add the next action. Click on ‘Add New Action Step’ and search for Google Business Profile. Select it and choose the event as ‘Create Call to Action Post’. This will allow you to post updates directly to your Google Business Profile.

Connect your Google account by clicking ‘Connect’. Once connected, map the fields from the previous WordPress step to the Google Business Profile fields. For instance, map the post title and URL to the corresponding fields in Google Business.

After mapping the fields, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’. You will receive a positive response indicating that your WordPress post has been successfully added to your Google Business Profile, demonstrating the power of automation through Pabbly Connect.
