1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for YouTube and Facebook Integration

To automate sharing your YouTube videos to Facebook groups, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. Start by visiting the Pabbly Connect homepage by typing the URL Pabbly.com/connect. Once there, you can sign in if you already have an account or create a new one for free.

After logging in, you will be directed to the dashboard. Here, you can manage your workflows. To set up your integration, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. This begins the process of connecting your YouTube account with Facebook groups using Pabbly Connect.

2. Setting Up the Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once you click on ‘Create Workflow’, you will be prompted to name your workflow. Name it something relevant, like ‘YouTube to Facebook Share’. This helps in organizing your workflows in Pabbly Connect.

After naming your workflow, you will see two sections: Trigger and Action. For the trigger, select YouTube, and for the action, select Facebook Groups. This setup ensures that every time a new video is uploaded to your YouTube channel, it will automatically be shared to your chosen Facebook group.

• Select YouTube as the Trigger application.
• Choose the trigger event ‘New Video in Channel’.
• Select Facebook Groups as the Action application.

This setup effectively links your YouTube channel and Facebook groups using Pabbly Connect, allowing for seamless automation.

3. Connecting YouTube to Pabbly Connect

Now, you need to connect your YouTube account to Pabbly Connect. Click on ‘Connect’ next to the YouTube trigger. You will be prompted to add a new connection. Select your Google account that is linked to your YouTube channel.

Once you grant the necessary permissions, you will be asked to enter your Channel ID. To find this, go to your YouTube channel, and copy the Channel ID from the URL. Paste this ID back into Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This action will pull the most recent video data from your channel.

After clicking ‘Save and Send Test Request’, Pabbly Connect will confirm the connection by displaying details of your last uploaded video, ensuring that everything is set up correctly. This step is crucial for establishing a successful link between YouTube and your Facebook groups.

4. Connecting Facebook Groups to Pabbly Connect

With YouTube connected, the next step is to set up the Facebook Groups action. Select ‘Connect’ next to the Facebook Groups action. Similar to the YouTube connection, you will need to authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Facebook account.

Once authorized, you will select the group you want to post to. Next, you will set up the message that will accompany the video link. For example, you can write, ‘Hey, check out my new YouTube video!’ This message will be static unless you choose to change it for future videos.

• Choose the Facebook group from the dropdown menu.
• Enter a static message for the post.
• Map the dynamic video URL received from YouTube.

By completing these steps, you ensure that every new video uploaded to your YouTube channel gets shared automatically in your selected Facebook group, enhancing visibility and engagement using Pabbly Connect.

5. Testing the Integration Between YouTube and Facebook

After setting up both connections, it’s time to test the integration. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ in the Facebook action setup. This will attempt to share the video link to your selected Facebook group.

Once the test is successful, you will receive a confirmation indicating that the video has been shared. You can verify this by checking your Facebook group. If everything is set up correctly, you will see the post with your video link and message.

This successful test confirms that your automation is working. From now on, every time you upload a new video to YouTube, it will automatically share on your Facebook group, thanks to the powerful capabilities of Pabbly Connect.
