Let us explore how you can integrate Airtable with WordPress – following this integration, whenever data is added to your Airtable table, it will automatically be posted to your WordPress page.
This automation requires a one-time setup for which we will use Pabbly Connect.
We will first link Airtable with Pabbly Connect to capture the entered data, then link Pabbly Connect with WordPress and make a post using the captured data.
Steps to Automatically Create WordPress Posts from Airtable
1. Sign In / Sign Up to Pabbly Connect and Create a Workflow
2. Establish a Connection between Airtable and Pabbly Connect
3. Setup WordPress as the Action App to Create Posts
Step 1:- Sign In / Sign Up to Pabbly Connect and Create a Workflow
A. Sign In / Sign Up
To begin this process, visit Pabbly Connect and create your account by clicking on the ‘Sign Up Free’ button. You can also click on Sign In if you already have an account.
Click on the Pabbly Connect ‘Access Now’ button
B. Create Workflow
To create a new workflow, click the ‘Create Workflow’ button.
Name your workflow, and click on ‘Create’.
Step 2:- Establish a Connection between Airtable and Pabbly Connect
We will now look at the steps through which we will establish a link between Airtable and Pabbly Connect. This will help us to fetch the data from Airtable.
A. Trigger App
Trigger allows us to choose the application that will receive the data for Pabbly Connect. In our case, it would be Airtable.
Choose ‘Airtable’ as the Trigger App, select ‘New Record’ as an Action Event, and click on ‘Connect’.
B. Connect Airtable Account
To connect with your Airtable account, select ‘Add New Connection’. To find your API Token, click on ‘Account’.
Copy the API Token, paste it into its given field and click on ‘Save’.
Select the Base and Table from where you want to capture the data.
Select the Trigger Field as ‘Created’ and click on ‘Save & Send Test Request’.
We have established a link between Airtable and Pabbly Connect. Pabbly Connect will now automatically capture the data entered in Airtable.
Step 3:- Setup WordPress as the Action App to Create Posts
Action allows us to choose the application that will get executed by the workflow trigger.
We essentially want to use the data captured from Airtable to create posts on WordPress – thus, WordPress will be our Action App.
A. Action App
Choose ‘WordPress’ as your Action App, select ‘Create a Post’ as an Action Event, and click on ‘Connect’.
B. Connect WordPress Account
To connect with your WordPress account, select ‘Add New Connection’ and enter your WordPress Username and WordPress Password.
Copy the Base URL from your WordPress dashboard, paste it into its given field, and click on ‘Save & Send Test Request’.
C. Map Necessary Fields
Now that you have connected your WordPress account, all you need is to map the necessary details from the step above. Mapping ensures our data remains dynamic and changes as per the received responses.
Map the Post Content from the step above.
Similarly, map the other fields, leaving the unnecessary ones empty, and click on ‘Save & Send Test Request’.
The moment you click on Save & Send Test Request, the post will be shared on your WordPress account.
Our automation is complete. We have successfully integrated Airtable with WordPress. Each time you add data to your Airtable, it will automatically be used to post an article in WordPress.
