We have an integration with Zapier, which will allow you to connect Tumblr to Loomly. Setting up a Zap between Loomly and Tumblr will allow you to publish photo or text-only posts to your Tumblr.
To create a Zap from Loomly to Tumblr:
Zap Trigger: Loomly Setup
1. Go to the Zapier Dashboard, then click on Create Zap.
2. Name your Zap (for instance, Loomly to Tumblr publishing), then search for Loomly in the list of available apps and select Loomly.
3. Select Post Publish Required as the Trigger Event:
4. Click Continue.
5. Sign in with your Loomly account.
6. Click on Authorize and then Continue (step available only if you have not authorized Zapier for Loomly).
7. Select the calendar from which you want to publish to Tumblr.
📝 IMPORTANT NOTE: You will need to create one Zap for each calendar / Tumblr account to which you want to publish.
8. Select a social channel as the Provider, then click Continue.
Note: For example, select Facebook if you would like to publish to Facebook directly and also Tumblr through Zapier. Otherwise, you can dedicate a Custom Channel or one of our supported channels, that does not have an account connection in your calendar just for Tumblr posts.
9. Click Test Trigger to make sure everything is set up and working properly.
10. Click Continue.
Zap Action: Create Photo Post in Tumblr

In the State field, select Published.
Note: You can select Draft, Queue, or Private if you do not want the posts directly published to your Tumblr blog.
📝 Note: If you select Create Text Post in Step 2 for Zap Action: Tumblr, then the skip the Photo field and Caption field as the Create Text Post does not offer these fields. Instead, select 1.Publish Copy Sample Copy to https://www.loomly... for the Body field.
5. Click on Continue, then Skip Test.
6. Turn on clicking Publish Zap, then click Publish & Turn On.
To publish a post from Loomly to Tumblr:

If a Tumblr photo post action zap was created, add text for the body for your Tumblr post caption, and add an image for your post.
If a Tumblr text post action zap was created, add text to the body for your Tumblr post.Schedule the post.
📝 Note: You may receive a notification from Loomly that the channel is not connected, but that notification can be ignored as the Zap created a connection to Tumblr.
