1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Facebook and Google Integration

To start integrating Facebook with Google Drive, first access Pabbly Connect. This platform allows seamless automation between various applications, enabling you to automatically add new Facebook posts to Google Drive.

Begin by visiting the official Pabbly website and signing in to your account. If you don’t have an account, create one quickly. Once logged in, navigate to the ‘Connect’ section to start building your integration workflow.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In Pabbly Connect, the next step is to create a new workflow. This workflow will automate the process of transferring Facebook posts to Google Drive. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and give it a name, such as ‘Facebook to Google Drive’.

• Click on the ‘Create’ button.
• Select Facebook as the trigger app.
• Choose the trigger event as ‘New Post’.

After setting the trigger app, you will need to connect your Facebook account. Authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Facebook pages, ensuring that you select the correct page where you will post content.

3. Setting Up Facebook Posts to Trigger Google Drive Upload

Once the Facebook trigger is set up, the next step is to configure the action that will send the post data to Google Drive. In Pabbly Connect, select Google Drive as your action app.

For the action event, choose ‘Upload File’. You will need to connect your Google Drive account and authorize Pabbly Connect to access it. After connecting, specify the folder in Google Drive where you want to save the Facebook images or videos.

• Map the file URL from the Facebook post.
• Define the file name and ensure to include the correct extension.

Once these details are filled in, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify that the integration works correctly. If successful, the image or video will appear in your specified Google Drive folder.

4. Handling Video Posts with Pabbly Connect

After successfully setting up the image upload, you can extend this workflow to handle video posts as well. In Pabbly Connect, you will use a router to differentiate between image and video uploads.

Set up a new route in your workflow for video uploads. This route will follow similar steps as the image upload, but you will need to check if the media type is a video. Map the relevant video URL from the Facebook post to upload it to Google Drive.

Select the action app as Google Drive. Choose ‘Upload File’ for the action event.

Once mapped, perform a test to ensure that videos are also uploaded to your Google Drive correctly. This flexibility allows you to back up all your Facebook content seamlessly.

5. Finalizing Your Facebook to Google Drive Integration

With both image and video uploads configured in your Pabbly Connect workflow, it’s time to finalize the integration. Review your workflow setup to ensure all connections are correctly established and test both routes.

After confirming the successful uploads of both images and videos to Google Drive, you can activate your workflow. This automation will now run in the background, ensuring all new posts on Facebook are backed up to your Google Drive without any manual effort.

Remember, you can always revisit Pabbly Connect to modify or enhance your workflow as needed. This integration not only saves time but also ensures that your valuable Facebook content is securely backed up.
