How to Setup your IFTTT Automation

Make sure you're logged into your Nuelink account and have connected your social media channels using IFTTT. If you haven't connected them yet, you can follow these steps. Now, let's proceed with setting up your automation to auto-post on your social media.

In this article, we'll guide you through two simple steps:

Creating a collection on Nuelink for your automated content.
Setting up an IFTTT automation to import and schedule social media content from various tools automatically.

So, What's IFTTT?

IFTTT, short for "If This Then That," is a popular web-based service and mobile app that streamlines automated workflows by connecting various online services, apps, and devices.

When used with Nuelink, IFTTT simplifies the creation and sharing of social media posts. It automates tasks such as posting content from spreadsheets, enhancing social media management efficiency and user-friendliness.

Let's start by creating a collection on Nuelink.

Before diving into the automation setup, I highly recommend creating a collection where all the posts uploaded through IFTTT will be stored.

A collection helps you organize your social content into different categories, segments, or topics. Each collection has its own posts, social channels, and time slots.

To create a collection, please follow these simple steps:

Click on Collections on the navigation Bar.

Then, click on Create Collection.

Name your collection. Since we are creating this collection for the IFTTT automation, you can name it IFTTT but any name will do.

Add your Social Channels. Once your posts are uploaded to your collection, they will be shared to these channels. You can add as many as you see fit.

Add a Posting Time. You can choose a posting time(s) of your choosing and then click on Add.

We have recently increased the daily posting time slots from 3 to 5 slots. This means that you can

post 5 times a day per collection.

Lastly, click on Create.

By creating this collection, your posts will be added here and shared to the social channels you selected at the posting time you added.

Now, let's set-up your IFTTT automation.

First, click on Automations on the navigation bar on the left side of the screen.

2. Click on Add Automation button on the top right of the screen.

3. Scroll down until you find IFTTT , and then click on Add Automation.

Once you click on Add automation, you will be directed to IFTTT to finish-up the process. Sign in to your IFTTT account so we can get started creating an Applet.

Click on Create on the top right of the screen.

Click on on Add to connect your Google Sheets.

Choose a trigger action.

Add your Google Sheet account. Select you account and click on Allow.

You might need to approve a few things depending on the app you are linking to Nuelink. For example, link your Google Sheets.

Enter your file name and add the spreadsheet URL. Then click on Create trigger.

Once your Google Sheet is added, you will then need to connect Nuelink. Click on Add in Then That.

Add Nuelink and select your action.

Add your Nuelink account and select your caption column and your media column. Then, on Create Action.

Here's an example of a Google Sheet document. Make sure that your links are public so we can access them. We support Google Drive, Box, OneDrive...

Finally click on Continue and then Finish.

Your posts are now uploaded to Nuelink and ready to be posted. Whenever you upload a new row to your spreadsheet, the new content will be automatically uploaded to Nuelink.

You're all set to head back to Nuelink. Your posts will now be safely stored in the collection you've created.
