1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To start automating your Google Business Profile posts from Facebook, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. Sign up for a free account if you haven’t already. This platform will enable you to create workflows that connect your Facebook page and Google Business Profile seamlessly.

Once you log in to Pabbly Connect, navigate to the dashboard. Here, you can create a new workflow by clicking the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Choose a name for your workflow, such as ‘Facebook Pages to Google Business Profile’. This name helps you identify the automation easily in the future.

2. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

The first step in your workflow is to set up the trigger that will initiate the automation. In Pabbly Connect, select the app as Facebook Pages. For the trigger event, choose ‘New Post’. This configuration will allow the automation to activate whenever a new post is made on your Facebook page.

• Choose Facebook Pages as the app.
• Select ‘New Post’ as the trigger event.
• Connect your Facebook account to Pabbly Connect.

After connecting your Facebook account, select the specific Facebook page you want to monitor for new posts. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure that the connection is working properly. Once you do this, Pabbly Connect will wait for a new post to capture its details.

3. Filtering Posts for Images Only

Next, you need to filter the posts captured by Pabbly Connect to ensure that only image posts are processed. This step is crucial because you only want to upload images to your Google Business Profile, not text or video posts. To set up the filter, add an action step and select the ‘Filter’ app.

• Select the ‘Filter’ app from the action step.
• Set the filter condition to check if the post type is ‘photo’.
• Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to confirm the filter works.

If the condition is met (i.e., the post is an image), the workflow will continue to the next step. This means Pabbly Connect is effectively managing which posts are processed further.

4. Uploading Images to Google Business Profile

The final step in your automation is to upload the filtered image to your Google Business Profile using Pabbly Connect. Select Google Business Profile as the app in the action step. For the action event, choose ‘Upload Media Photo’. This will allow the automation to post the image from your Facebook page directly to your Google Business Profile.

Connect your Google Business Profile account to Pabbly Connect by signing in with your Google account. Once connected, select the specific location where you want the image uploaded and map the image URL from the Facebook post to the Google Business Profile action. This mapping is essential for ensuring that the correct image is uploaded.

5. Testing Your Automation Setup

After setting up your automation, it’s crucial to test it to ensure everything works as expected. Go back to your Facebook page and create a new post with an image. Once you publish the post, Pabbly Connect will detect the new image post and automatically upload it to your Google Business Profile.

Refresh your Google Business Profile photos section to see if the image has been uploaded. If everything was set up correctly, the same image should appear on both your Facebook page and Google Business Profile. This confirms that Pabbly Connect is functioning as intended, automating your social media management effectively.

Conclusion

Using Pabbly Connect, you can automate the process of posting images from your Facebook page to your Google Business Profile. This integration streamlines your workflow, saving you time and ensuring your business stays updated across platforms.
