In this post, we will look at how you can integrate Shopify with Twitter. Once the integration is in place, each time you update your catalog with a new product in Shopify, it will automatically be displayed on Twitter.
This automation requires a one-time setup, for which we will use Pabbly Connect.
First, we’ll link your Shopify account with Pabbly Connect to capture new product additions. Then, we’ll link Pabbly Connect with your Twitter account to automatically post any new additions to your products on Twitter.
Steps to Auto-Display Newly Added Shopify Products to Twitter
1. Sign In / Sign Up to Pabbly Connect and Create a Workflow
2. Setup Shopify as the Trigger App to Capture Newly Added Products
3. Setup Twitter as the Action App to Post New Products
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:- Setup Shopify as the Trigger App to Capture Newly Added Products
We will now look at the steps to establish a link between Shopify and Pabbly Connect. By doing this, we will be able to retrieve recently added products from your Shopify store.
A. Trigger App
Trigger allows us to choose the application that will receive the data for Pabbly Connect. In our case, it would be Shopify.
Choose ‘Shopify’ as the Trigger App, and select ‘New Product’ as a Trigger Event.
B. Webhook URL
A new Webhook URL will get generated. You will use this Webhook URL to create a connection with your Shopify account. Copy the Webhook URL.
As soon as you Copy the Webhook URL, Pabbly Connect will start looking to capture recently added products from Shopify, as indicated by the rotating Waiting For Webhook Response button.
C. Connect Shopify Account
Log in to your Shopify account, click on ‘Settings’, scroll down, and click on ‘Create webhook’.
Select the ‘Product creation’ as Event, ‘JSON’ as Format, paste the Webhook URL we copied earlier, select Webhook API version, and click on ‘Save’.
D. Test Connection
To test the established connection, add a new product to your catalog and check the Response Received.
Step 3:- Setup Twitter as the Action App to Post New Products
Action allows us to choose the application that will get executed by the workflow trigger.
Our goal is to share our latest product additions on Twitter. Thus, Twitter will be our Action App.
A. Action App
Choose ‘Twitter’ as the Action App, select ‘Create Tweet with Media’ as an Action Event, and click on ‘Connect’.
B. Connect Twitter Account
To connect with your Twitter account, select ‘Add New Connection’ and click on ‘Connect With Twitter’. Also, grant the authorization.
C. Map Necessary Fields
Now that you have connected your Twitter 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.
Compose a Message by mapping the details from the step above.
Similarly, map the Media File URL, and click on ‘Save & Send Test Request’.
When you click on Save & Send Test Request, the product will be showcased on your Twitter account.
Our automation is complete. We have successfully integrated Shopify with Twitter. Henceforth, any new products added to your Shopify product catalog will be automatically shared on Twitter.
