1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start integrating Facebook comments into Google Sheets, you need to access Pabbly Connect. Begin by visiting the Pabbly Connect website. If you are new, you can sign up for a free account, which allows you to set up automations efficiently.

After signing in, navigate to the dashboard where you can create an automation workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button, and name your workflow, such as ‘Facebook Comments to Google Sheets.’ Select the folder where you want to save this automation.

2. Setting Up the Trigger with Facebook Pages

The first step in this automation is to set up a trigger in Pabbly Connect. In the trigger window, search for ‘Facebook Pages’ and select it. Choose the trigger event as ‘New Comment’. This will allow Pabbly Connect to monitor any new comments on your Facebook posts.

• Select the Facebook account associated with your page.
• Ensure you have admin access to the page to connect successfully.
• Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to check the connection.

Once the connection is established, Pabbly Connect will wait for a new comment to trigger the workflow. This setup allows you to receive comments directly into your Google Sheets for analysis.

3. Formatting Date and Time for Google Sheets

After receiving a new comment, the next step in Pabbly Connect is to format the date and time. This is crucial for accurate record-keeping in Google Sheets. Use the ‘DateTime Formatter’ action in Pabbly Connect to convert the timestamp into a more readable format.

• Select the action event as ‘Format Date with Time Zone’.
• Map the timestamp received from the Facebook trigger.
• Choose your local time zone, such as Asia/Kolkata.

After setting this up, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. Pabbly Connect will return the formatted date and time, ready to be sent to Google Sheets.

4. Adding Comments to Google Sheets

In this step, you will configure Pabbly Connect to add the formatted comment data into Google Sheets. Select the action app as ‘Google Sheets’ and the action event as ‘Add New Row’. This allows you to create a new row in your selected spreadsheet for each comment received.

Connect your Google Sheets account to Pabbly Connect. Select the specific spreadsheet and sheet where you want to store the comments. Map all relevant fields like Date, From Name, Comment, and Post URL.

Once all fields are mapped correctly, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. Check your Google Sheets to confirm that the new comment has been added as a new row, ensuring the automation works seamlessly.

5. Testing the Automation Workflow

Finally, it’s essential to test the entire workflow you created with Pabbly Connect. Post a new comment on your Facebook ad and observe the automation in action. Within seconds, the comment should appear in your Google Sheets.

To verify, check your Google Sheets for the latest row added. You should see the comment details, including the date and time, the commenter’s name, and their comment. This confirmation shows that your automation is functioning correctly.

By using this automation, you can efficiently manage and analyze comments from your Facebook ads. Not only does this save time, but it also enhances your ability to engage with your audience effectively.

Conclusion

In summary, integrating Facebook comments into Google Sheets using Pabbly Connect allows for real-time analysis and efficient management of user interactions. This automation not only saves time but also improves your engagement strategies.
