In this section, we will learn how you can integrate YouTube with Tumblr and automatically post newly uploaded YouTube videos on Tumblr.
This automation requires a one-time setup, for which we will use Pabbly Connect.
We will first link YouTube with Pabbly Connect to capture the recently uploaded videos, then link Pabbly Connect with Tumblr and post the captured video on Tumblr.

Step 2:- Setup YouTube as the Trigger App to Capture Videos
We will now look at the steps to establish a link between YouTube and Pabbly Connect – This will help us fetch the recently uploaded videos on your YouTube Channel.
A. Trigger App
Trigger allows us to choose the application that will receive the data for Pabbly Connect. In our case, it would be YouTube.
Choose ‘YouTube’ as the Trigger App, select ‘New Video in Channel with Video URL’ as a Trigger Event, and click on ‘Connect’.
B. Connect YouTube Account
To connect with your YouTube account, select ‘Add New Connection’ and click on ‘Connect With YouTube’. Also, grant the authorization.
Select the Channel ID, and click on ‘Save & Send Test Request’.
Expand Response Received to find the latest uploaded video, thus confirming our connection.
Step 3:- Setup Tumblr as the Action App to Post Videos
Action allows us to choose the application that will get executed by the workflow trigger.
We essentially want to post the captured YouTube videos on Tumblr. Therefore, Tumblr will be our Action App.
A. Action App
Choose ‘Tumblr’ as your Action App, select ‘Create Link Post’ as an Action Event, and click on ‘Connect’.
B. Connect with Tumblr Account
To connect with your Tumblr account, select ‘Add New Connection’ and click on ‘Connect With Tumblr’. Also, grant the authorization.
Select the Blog where you want to post the video.
C. Map Necessary Fields
Now that you have connected your Tumblr 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 Link Title 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 captured YouTube video will automatically be posted to Tumblr.
Our automation is complete. We have successfully integrated YouTube with Tumblr. Now, every time a new video is uploaded to your YouTube channel, it will automatically be posted on Tumblr as well.
