1. Connecting Facebook and LinkedIn Using Pabbly Connect

Facebook integration with LinkedIn can streamline your social media management. To start, you will need to access Pabbly Connect to create the connection between these two platforms.

Begin by logging into your Pabbly Connect account. Once you are logged in, navigate to the dashboard where you can see all available applications. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to initiate the integration process.

2. Setting Up the Trigger for Facebook

Setting up the trigger is essential for automating posts on LinkedIn from Facebook. In this case, you will select Facebook as your trigger application within Pabbly Connect.

Choose the trigger event as ‘New Post’ from Facebook. This will ensure that every time a new post is created on Facebook, it triggers an action on LinkedIn. After selecting the trigger, connect your Facebook account by following the prompts.

• Log in to your Facebook account through Pabbly Connect.
• Authorize Pabbly to access your Facebook posts.
• Select the Facebook page from which you want to pull posts.

After successfully connecting your Facebook account, proceed to test the trigger to ensure it captures the latest post accurately.

3. Action Step: Posting to LinkedIn

Once the trigger is set up, the next step is to define the action for LinkedIn. This action will be to create a new post on LinkedIn whenever a new post is made on Facebook.

Select LinkedIn as the action application in Pabbly Connect. Choose the action event as ‘Create Post’. You will need to connect your LinkedIn account in a similar manner as you did for Facebook.

• Log in to your LinkedIn account through Pabbly Connect.
• Authorize Pabbly to access your LinkedIn profile.
• Select the visibility option for your posts (Public, Connections, etc.).

After connecting LinkedIn, map the data from the Facebook post to the LinkedIn post fields to ensure the content is transferred correctly.

4. Finalizing the Automation Process

Finalizing your automation between Facebook and LinkedIn is crucial for seamless operation. After mapping the data, you will need to save your workflow in Pabbly Connect.

Test the workflow to confirm that a new post on Facebook triggers the corresponding post on LinkedIn. Ensure that the content appears as intended on both platforms. Once tested successfully, enable the workflow to activate the automation.

This automation allows you to focus on creating content while ensuring it is shared across both platforms without manual effort.

Conclusion

Integrating Facebook with LinkedIn using Pabbly Connect simplifies social media management. By following these steps, you can automate your posts seamlessly and enhance your online presence.
