1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To automate social media posts from Notion, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. Begin by typing ‘Pabbly.com/connect’ in your browser. Once on the homepage, you will see options to sign in or sign up for free.

If you are a new user, click on the ‘Sign up for free’ button to create an account. This grants you 100 free tasks monthly to explore the features of Pabbly Connect. Existing users can simply log in to their accounts.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After signing in, navigate to the dashboard of Pabbly Connect. Here, you can create a new workflow by clicking on the ‘Create Workflow’ option. A dialog box will prompt you to name your workflow, such as ‘Scheduled Social Media Post from Notion Database with Images’.

• Name your workflow appropriately.
• Select the appropriate folder for organization.
• Click ‘Create’ to save the workflow.

Once the workflow is created, you will see two main sections: Trigger and Action. The Trigger indicates when an event occurs, while Action specifies what should happen as a result. In this case, the Trigger will be a new entry in the Notion database.

3. Setting Up the Trigger with Notion

To set up the Trigger, select Notion as the application. Next, choose the trigger event, which will be ‘New Database Item’. This event captures when a new item is added to your Notion database.

To establish the connection between Pabbly Connect and Notion, click on ‘Connect’. This will prompt you to log into your Notion account and authorize Pabbly Connect to access your database. Select the relevant database where your social media post details are stored.

• Ensure you are logged into your Notion account.
• Select the database ID from the dropdown.
• Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to capture the latest data.

By doing this, Pabbly Connect will begin monitoring your Notion database for new entries, allowing for seamless automation of social media posts.

4. Configuring Facebook and X Channel Actions

After setting up the Trigger, the next step is to configure actions for Facebook and X Channel (formerly Twitter). Start by selecting Facebook Pages as the action application. Choose the action event as ‘Create Page Photo Post’.

Connect your Facebook account by clicking on ‘Connect’ and authorizing Pabbly Connect to access your Facebook page. Select the page where you want to post the content, and map the image URL and post description from the previous steps.

Map the image URL from the Notion database. Include the title and caption in the post description. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify the action.

Once completed, you will see a confirmation that the post has been created successfully on your Facebook page. This confirms that the connection through Pabbly Connect is working effectively.

5. Finalizing the Integration with X Channel

To finalize the integration, repeat the action setup for X Channel. Select X Channel as your action application and choose ‘Create Tweet’ as the action event. Similar to Facebook, you will need to authorize Pabbly Connect to access your X Channel account.

Input the message you want to tweet, mapping the title and including a call to action with the image URL. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to create your tweet. You will receive a confirmation that the tweet has been successfully posted.

Map the title and image URL in the tweet message. Verify the successful posting of the tweet. Ensure that both social media platforms are now integrated.

With this final step, Pabbly Connect ensures that all new entries in your Notion database are automatically posted to both Facebook and X Channel, streamlining your social media management.
