1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Job Listing Automation

To start automating job listings, first, access Pabbly Connect by visiting the official website. If you are a new user, you can sign up for free and get 100 free tasks every month. Existing users should log into their accounts to proceed with the automation setup.

Once logged in, you will see the dashboard with various Pabbly applications. Click on the ‘Access Now’ button under Pabbly Connect to enter the automation interface. Here, you can create workflows that will automate posting job listings from Google Sheets to platforms like Facebook and LinkedIn.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Next, you need to create a workflow in Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located at the top right corner of the dashboard. A dialog box will appear asking for a workflow name; you can name it ‘Automatically Post Job Listings on Various Platforms via Google Sheets’.

• Enter a name for your workflow.
• Select a folder to save your workflow.
• Click on ‘Create’ to finalize the workflow setup.

After creating the workflow, you will see two sections: Trigger and Action. The Trigger is what starts the automation, and the Action is what happens as a result. In this case, the Trigger will be from Google Sheets, and the Action will be posting to Facebook and LinkedIn.

3. Setting Up the Trigger with Google Sheets

For the Trigger setup in Pabbly Connect, click on the dropdown to select Google Sheets as the trigger application. Choose the trigger event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. This means any new job listing added to your Google Sheets will trigger the automation.

Pabbly Connect will provide a unique webhook URL. Copy this URL and follow the steps to connect Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect. Open your Google Sheets document, click on ‘Extensions’, then ‘Add-ons’, and select ‘Get Add-ons’. Search for Pabbly Webhooks and install it if you haven’t already.

• Click on ‘Extensions’ again, and select Pabbly Webhooks.
• Choose ‘Initial Setup’ and paste the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.
• Set the trigger column to the final data column (e.g., Column E) where job listings will be added.

After completing the setup, click on the ‘Submit’ button to confirm. You should see a confirmation message indicating that the setup was successful. Now, whenever a new job listing is added to Google Sheets, Pabbly Connect will capture this information automatically.

4. Posting Job Listings to Facebook via Pabbly Connect

With the trigger set, the next step is to configure the action to post job listings on Facebook. In Pabbly Connect, select Facebook Pages as your action application and choose ‘Create Page Post’ as your action event. Click on ‘Connect’ to link your Facebook account with Pabbly Connect.

After authorization, select the Facebook page where you want the job listing to be posted. In the message field, you can write a dynamic message that includes the job position, description, required skills, and application details. Use the mapping feature to pull data dynamically from the Google Sheets trigger.

Select the page where the job post will appear. Map the job position and other details from the previous step. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to check if the post is created successfully.

Upon successful execution, you should see the job listing posted on your Facebook page. This verifies that the integration between Google Sheets and Facebook is working correctly through Pabbly Connect.

5. Posting Job Listings to LinkedIn via Pabbly Connect

The final step is to set up posting to LinkedIn. In Pabbly Connect, add another action step and select LinkedIn as the action application. Choose ‘Share Simple Text’ as the action event. Just like before, click on ‘Connect’ to link your LinkedIn account.

After authorizing LinkedIn, you will need to specify the author and content of the post. Map the job position and details similarly to how you did for Facebook. Ensure you format the content correctly to include line breaks for clarity.

Select the author from your LinkedIn account. Map the job details into the content field. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to publish the post.

Once the test is successful, refresh your LinkedIn profile to see the new job listing post. This confirms that Pabbly Connect has successfully automated the posting process across both Facebook and LinkedIn.
