1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To start automating Facebook page posts, first access Pabbly Connect by typing ‘Pabbly.com/connect’ in your browser. Once on the homepage, you will find options to sign in or sign up for free.

If you are a new user, click on the ‘Sign Up for Free’ button to create your account. Existing users can simply sign in. Upon signing up, you will receive 100 free tasks monthly to explore Pabbly Connect and its features.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After signing in, navigate to the dashboard of Pabbly Connect. Here, you can create new workflows by clicking on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. This opens a dialog box where you will name your workflow, such as ‘Automate Facebook Post Using Open Router’.

After naming your workflow, select the folder for saving it, then click on ‘Create’. You will be presented with trigger and action windows, which are essential components in Pabbly Connect that dictate how your automation will operate.

• Set up the trigger application to schedule the workflow.
• Define the action applications that will respond to the trigger.

Understanding triggers and actions is crucial as triggers initiate the workflow while actions execute the commands based on those triggers. For this automation, we will use the ‘Schedule’ feature in Pabbly Connect.

3. Scheduling Daily Posts Using Pabbly Connect

In this step, select ‘Schedule’ as your trigger application. This feature allows you to set the workflow to run at specific intervals, such as daily. Choose the time for the workflow to trigger; for instance, set it to 12:10 PM.

After scheduling, click on ‘Save’ to confirm your settings. This ensures that your workflow will automatically start every day at the designated time. Next, to generate content for your Facebook post, you will need the current date.

• Use the ‘Date Time Formatter’ feature in Pabbly Connect to get the current date.
• Format the date to your desired structure, such as YYYY-MM-DD.

Once you have the current date, you can proceed to use it to create unique content for your Facebook post.

4. Generating Content with Open Router

Now, select Open Router as your action application in Pabbly Connect. Choose the action event ‘Create Chat Completions’ and connect your Open Router account by providing the necessary API token.

Once connected, fill in the required fields. For instance, enter an HTTP referrer and select the model to use, such as GPT-3.5 Turbo. In the content field, instruct Open Router to create a Facebook post based on the current date.

Map the current date to your content request to generate relevant posts. Ensure the content reflects the significance of the date without specifying a year.

After saving and sending the test request, you will receive a response with the generated content ready for posting on Facebook.

5. Posting to Facebook Using Pabbly Connect

In this final step, connect your Facebook Pages application to Pabbly Connect. Select the action event ‘Create Page Post’ and authorize your Facebook account.

Once connected, select the page where you want to post the content. Map the content generated from Open Router into the message field of the Facebook post.

Ensure all required fields are filled out before saving. Test the workflow by sending a test request to confirm successful posting.

After testing, check your Facebook page to see the new post created automatically. This confirms that your workflow is successfully operational, automating your daily Facebook posts without manual effort.
