2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

To create a new workflow in Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button on your dashboard. A dialog box will prompt you to name your workflow. For example, name it ‘Automate Facebook Pages Using Pabbly Connect’ and select a folder to save it in.

• Click on ‘Create’ to initiate the workflow.
• You will see two sections: Trigger and Action.
• Select Facebook Pages as the trigger application.

After setting the name and folder, click on ‘Create’. You will then see the ‘Trigger’ and ‘Action’ sections. This is where you will define the events that will automate your Facebook page management.

3. Setting Up Trigger for Facebook Pages

In this step, you will configure the trigger for your Facebook page in Pabbly Connect. Choose Facebook Pages as your trigger application and select the event type, such as ‘New Comment’. This event will activate the workflow when a new comment is made on your Facebook post.

After selecting the trigger event, click on ‘Connect’. You will need to authenticate your Facebook account by clicking ‘Add New Connection’. Once connected, select the specific Facebook page you want to automate.

• Choose the Facebook page from the dropdown menu.
• Enable the toggle to capture responses.
• Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to test the connection.

Once the connection is successful, any new comment on your Facebook page will be captured by Pabbly Connect. This allows you to automate responses or log comments in other applications.

4. Setting Up Action to Log Comments in Google Sheets

Now that you have set up the trigger, it’s time to configure the action in Pabbly Connect. For this example, choose Google Sheets as your action application. The action event should be set to ‘Create Spreadsheet Row’. This will allow you to log the comments received from Facebook.

Connect your Google Sheets account by clicking ‘Connect’ and selecting the appropriate account. Once connected, map the fields from the Facebook comments to your Google Sheets columns, such as user ID, comment text, and timestamp.

Map user details from the Facebook comment to the corresponding columns in Google Sheets. Ensure all necessary fields are filled out correctly. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify the setup.

This action will automatically log each new comment into your Google Sheets, making it easier to track engagement and manage customer interactions through Pabbly Connect.

5. Sharing WordPress Blogs to Facebook Pages

In addition to logging comments, Pabbly Connect can also help share your WordPress blog posts directly to your Facebook page. Set up WordPress as a trigger application in a new workflow and select ‘New Post’ as the trigger event.

After connecting your WordPress account, configure the action to be Facebook Pages with the event ‘Create Page Post’. Map the blog title and URL to the post content that will be shared on your Facebook page.

Map the blog title to the message field in the Facebook post. Insert the blog URL as a link in the post. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure the post is shared successfully.

This integration allows you to promote your blog content seamlessly, enhancing your social media presence through Pabbly Connect.
