2. Creating Your Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once logged in to Pabbly Connect, the next step is to create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to start.

• Name your workflow, e.g., ‘Share YouTube Shorts on Facebook’.
• Select the folder where you want to save your workflow.
• Click on ‘Create’ to proceed.

After creating the workflow, you will see two main boxes: trigger and action. The trigger indicates when an event occurs, while the action specifies what should happen as a result.

3. Setting Up the Trigger with YouTube

In this section, you will set up the trigger in Pabbly Connect to monitor new YouTube Shorts uploads. Search for ‘YouTube’ in the trigger application field.

Select the trigger event ‘New Video in Channel with Video URL’. After that, connect your YouTube account by clicking on ‘Connect’ and following the prompts to authorize access.

4. Adding Filters and Action Steps

Now, it’s time to add filters and action steps in Pabbly Connect. First, set up a filter to ensure only YouTube Shorts are posted to Facebook. Choose ‘Filter by P’ as the action application.

• Set the action event as ‘Filter Values’.
• Define the condition to check if the title contains the hashtag #shorts.
• Save and test the filter to confirm it’s working correctly.

Next, add another action step to post the video on Facebook. Search for ‘Facebook Pages’ and select the action event ‘Create Page Post’. Connect your Facebook account similarly to how you connected YouTube.

5. Mapping Data to Facebook Post

In this final step, you will map the data from YouTube to your Facebook post using Pabbly Connect. Select the Facebook page where you want to post the video and enter the message for the post.

Use the mapping feature to add the title of the YouTube video and the video URL to the post. This ensures that every time a new Short is uploaded, the corresponding details are dynamically added to the Facebook post automatically.

After mapping, click on ‘Save and Send Test’ to check if the integration works as expected. Once confirmed, your YouTube Shorts will be automatically shared on your Facebook page.
