Next, you will see a trigger window and an action window. The trigger is the event that starts the workflow. In this case, select ‘Facebook Comments’ as the trigger application and choose ‘New Comment’ as the trigger event. Click on ‘Connect’ to establish a connection with your Facebook account.

3. Connect Your Facebook Account to Pabbly Connect

Once you click on ‘Connect’, you will need to authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Facebook account. If you are already logged in, select your account and click ‘Continue’. This will allow Pabbly Connect to monitor comments on your Facebook posts.

After connecting, you will need to select the Facebook page you wish to monitor. Choose your page from the dropdown menu. Then, select the specific post you want to set up automatic replies for. Make sure to select the option to include replies if you want to respond to comments on comments.

4. Set Up Automatic Replies for Facebook Comments

Now that your Facebook account is connected, it’s time to set up the automatic replies using Pabbly Connect. In the action window, select ‘Facebook Comments’ again and choose ‘Reply Comment on Page Post’ as the action event. Click on ‘Connect’ to link to your Facebook account again.

• Select the Facebook page where you want to send replies.
• Choose the post ID where comments will receive automatic replies.
• Map the comment ID from the trigger data to ensure the reply goes to the correct comment.

After filling in these details, type the reply message you want to send. For example, you can write ‘Thanks for your comment! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to our team at [email protected]’. Finally, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to test the integration.

5. Test and Activate Your Workflow

After saving your settings, it’s crucial to test the workflow you created with Pabbly Connect. Go back to your Facebook page and leave a comment on the selected post. After a short delay, check if the automatic reply appears under your comment.

If everything is set up correctly, you should see your designated reply appear shortly after your comment. Remember, since Pabbly Connect uses polling to capture new comments, there may be a slight delay in receiving the automatic reply. Once confirmed, save your workflow and it will be active for future comments.
