After signing in, you will be directed to the Pabbly Connect dashboard. Here, you will create a new workflow by clicking on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow based on your objective, for example, ‘Create WordPress Post from Facebook Post with Images’.

• Click on the folder tab to choose where to save your workflow.
• Select the folder named ‘Facebook Page’ for better organization.
• Click on the ‘Create’ button to finalize your workflow setup.

This initiates the workflow setup process, where you will define the trigger and action steps. Remember, Pabbly Connect allows you to set up a single trigger with multiple actions.

3. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

Next, you need to set up the trigger in Pabbly Connect. Search for the application ‘Facebook Pages’ and select it as your trigger application. Then, choose the trigger event as ‘New Post’.

To connect your Facebook account, click on ‘Connect’, then ‘Add New Connection’. You will need to authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Facebook account. After connecting, select the specific Facebook page you want to monitor for new posts.

• Click ‘Save and Send Test’ to verify the connection.
• Create a new post on your Facebook page to test the trigger.
• Check if Pabbly Connect receives the response from your Facebook page.

Once you receive a successful response, you are ready to set up the action step in the workflow.

4. Setting Up the Action in Pabbly Connect

Now that your trigger is set, it’s time to define the action step. Search for ‘WordPress’ as your action application and select it. For the action event, choose ‘Create a Post’.

To connect your WordPress account with Pabbly Connect, click on ‘Connect’ and fill in your WordPress credentials, including the base URL, username, and password. Ensure you have the WordPress REST API authentication plugin installed and active.

Copy the base URL from your WordPress site. Click ‘Save’ to establish the connection. Proceed to set up the post details including title, content, and featured media ID.

This step is crucial as it allows you to create a new post on your WordPress site using the details from your Facebook post.

5. Finalizing the Integration in Pabbly Connect

To finalize the integration, you must upload the image received from the Facebook post to your WordPress site. Use the WooCommerce plugin to accomplish this by selecting it as an additional action step in Pabbly Connect.

Set the action event as ‘Update a Product’ and connect WooCommerce with Pabbly Connect using your consumer key, secret, and website URL. This allows you to upload the Facebook image as the featured media for your WordPress post.

Select the product ID for the image upload in WooCommerce. Map the image URL from the Facebook response to the product image. Save the settings to complete the upload process.

Once this is done, your integration is complete. Every new post on your Facebook page will automatically create a corresponding post on your WordPress site with all the details and images included.
