1. Overview of Pabbly Connect for Automation

Pabbly Connect serves as the central platform for automating tasks between Frame.io and Airtable. This integration allows users to automatically update the video uploading status in Airtable whenever a video is uploaded to Frame.io. By using Pabbly Connect, you can streamline your workflow and save valuable time.

To start, users must sign up for a free account on Pabbly Connect. Once registered, you can access the dashboard to create a new workflow that connects Frame.io and Airtable. This setup is straightforward and requires no coding knowledge, making it accessible for everyone.

2. Creating Your Workflow in Pabbly Connect

To create your workflow in Pabbly Connect, first navigate to the dashboard and click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow something descriptive, like ‘Frame.io to Airtable Integration’. This name helps identify your automation process easily.

Next, select Frame.io as the trigger application and choose the ‘New Asset’ trigger event. This event will initiate the workflow whenever a new video is uploaded to Frame.io. After selecting the trigger, you will be provided with a webhook URL that will connect Frame.io to Pabbly Connect. Follow the steps below to set this up:

• Navigate to your Frame.io dashboard and click on your account name.
• Select ‘Apps and Integrations’ from the menu.
• Under the Developer section, click on ‘Webhooks’ and then ‘Create a Webhook’.
• Paste the webhook URL from Pabbly Connect into the URL field.
• Select the ‘Created’ event under the assets section.
• Click on ‘Submit’ to save your webhook settings.

Once the webhook is set up, you can test it by uploading a video in Frame.io. This will allow Pabbly Connect to capture the asset details for the next steps in your workflow.

3. Capturing Video Details from Frame.io

After uploading a video, the next step in your Pabbly Connect workflow is to capture the video details. To do this, add a new action step in your workflow and select Frame.io again, this time choosing the ‘Get Asset by ID’ action event. This step retrieves the details of the uploaded video based on the asset ID.

To connect Frame.io for this action, you will need to create a token in the Developer section of Frame.io. This token grants Pabbly Connect access to your Frame.io account. Once you have generated the token, paste it into the connection field in Pabbly Connect. After connecting, map the asset ID from the previous step to retrieve the video details.

• Select the ‘Get Asset by ID’ action event in Pabbly Connect.
• Use the asset ID received from the trigger step to fetch video details.
• Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure the details are captured correctly.

Upon successful retrieval, you will see various details about the video, including its name, upload status, and other metadata, which can now be used to update Airtable.

4. Updating Airtable with Video Status

With the video details captured, the next step is to update Airtable using Pabbly Connect. First, add another action step and select Airtable as the application. Choose the ‘Update Record’ action event to modify the existing record in Airtable with the video uploading status.

To connect Airtable, you will need to provide the API key from your Airtable account. After connecting, select the base and table where your video records are stored. Map the fields accordingly, ensuring that the video name and status are updated in the correct columns.

Select the base and table from Airtable where your video records are stored. Map the video name and other relevant fields to update the record. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify the update.

After testing, check your Airtable to confirm that the video uploading status has been accurately updated. This completes the integration process, ensuring that your video records are always up to date.

5. Finalizing Your Pabbly Connect Integration

Once you’ve set up all the steps in your Pabbly Connect workflow, it’s essential to finalize the integration. Ensure that each step is correctly configured, and test the entire workflow to confirm that data flows as expected from Frame.io to Airtable.

After testing, you can activate your workflow. From now on, whenever you upload a video in Frame.io, the corresponding record in Airtable will be updated automatically. This automation saves time and reduces manual work, allowing you to focus on content creation.

To maintain the efficiency of your workflow, periodically check the connections and ensure that your API keys are valid. With Pabbly Connect, you can easily manage and modify your workflows as needed.
