1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Facebook Media Integration

To start automating the sharing of Facebook media to various social media platforms, first, access Pabbly Connect by visiting their website and logging into your account. If you don’t have an account, you can sign up for free and get access to 100 free tasks each month. Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard and click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to begin.

Give your workflow a name, such as ‘Share Facebook Media to Twitter, LinkedIn, and Tumblr’. This name will help you identify the workflow later. After naming your workflow, you will see options for setting up a trigger and an action, which are essential for the integration process.

2. Integrating Facebook as the Trigger Application

In this section, we will set Facebook as the trigger application. Select ‘Facebook Pages’ from the app options and choose the event type as ‘New Post’. This setup means that every time you create a new post on Facebook, it will trigger the workflow in Pabbly Connect.

• Select the Facebook page you want to monitor for new posts.
• Set the number of posts to retrieve to one to ensure it captures each new post.

After setting these parameters, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to confirm that Pabbly Connect can successfully retrieve the latest post data from your Facebook page. This step is crucial for ensuring that the integration is functioning correctly.

3. Creating a Tweet with Open AI

Next, we will integrate Open AI to generate a tweet based on the Facebook post. Choose Open AI from the application options and select the action event as ‘Generate Content’. This integration allows you to create engaging tweets automatically based on your Facebook posts. using Pabbly Connect

In the prompt field, provide a clear command for Open AI. For example, instruct it to generate a playful tweet based on the Facebook post’s content. Map the title and content snippet from the Facebook post to ensure that Open AI has the necessary context to create relevant tweets.

After setting up the prompt and mapping the necessary fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to see the generated tweet. This step will confirm that Open AI can create content based on the Facebook post data.

4. Sharing the Tweet on Twitter

Now that we have our tweet generated, it’s time to share it on Twitter. Select Twitter as the next action application and choose ‘Create Tweet with Media’ as the action event. This setup allows us to post the tweet generated by Open AI directly to your Twitter account. using Pabbly Connect

• Map the generated tweet content from the Open AI step.
• Include any media URLs if applicable.

Once you have mapped the necessary fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will post the tweet to your Twitter account, confirming that the integration is working as intended.

5. Posting to LinkedIn and Tumblr

After successfully sharing the tweet, we will now set up integrations for LinkedIn and Tumblr. For LinkedIn, select it as the next action application and choose ‘Share an Article or URL’ as the action event. This allows you to post the same content from Facebook onto your LinkedIn profile.

Map the tweet content and the article URL to ensure that your LinkedIn followers receive the same information. After mapping, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to share the post on LinkedIn.

For Tumblr, repeat the same process by selecting it as the action application and choosing ‘Create Text Post’. Map the necessary fields, including the content and any media links, and click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to post on Tumblr. This completes the automation process across all desired platforms using Pabbly Connect.
