1. Introduction to Pabbly Connect for Facebook and Google Sheets Integration

In this tutorial, we will use Pabbly Connect to automatically add Facebook comments to Google Sheets. This integration simplifies the process of collecting comments from Facebook posts and storing them in a spreadsheet.

To start, you need to access Pabbly Connect. Simply go to the Pabbly website, hover over the products menu, and select Pabbly Connect. If you don’t have an account, sign up for free and log in to your dashboard.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once logged in to Pabbly Connect, you will see an option to create a new workflow. Click on ‘Create Workflow’ located at the top right corner of the dashboard. You will be prompted to name your workflow; for this tutorial, let’s name it ‘Facebook Comments to Google Sheets’.

• Click on ‘Create’.
• You will now see two windows: the trigger and action window.
• Select Facebook as the trigger app.

In the trigger event, choose ‘New Comment’. This sets up Pabbly Connect to listen for new comments on your selected Facebook post. Click on ‘Connect’ to authorize your Facebook account.

3. Setting Up the Facebook Trigger in Pabbly Connect

After connecting your Facebook account, you will select the page from which you want to capture comments. Choose the appropriate Facebook page, such as ‘Any Tech Solution’. Next, select the specific post you want to monitor for comments.

Once the page and post are selected, you can test the connection by clicking on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will fetch the latest comment from your Facebook post. Ensure that your Facebook post is Pabbly so that Pabbly Connect can access the comments.

• Make a comment on the Facebook post to test the integration.
• Check if the comment appears in the test response from Pabbly Connect.

Once the test is successful, you will see the comment data reflected in Pabbly Connect, confirming that your trigger is set up correctly.

4. Adding Google Sheets Action in Pabbly Connect

Now that the Facebook trigger is set up, the next step is to add Google Sheets as the action app. In the action event, select ‘Add New Row’. This allows Pabbly Connect to add new comments as rows in your Google Sheets document.

Before mapping the data, create a new Google Sheet named ‘Facebook Comments’. This sheet should have two columns: one for the timestamp and another for the comment text. Go back to Pabbly Connect and connect your Google account for authorization.

Select the Google Sheet you just created. Map the fields from the Facebook comments to the Google Sheet columns.

After mapping the fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure the data is correctly added to your Google Sheet. You should see the comment appear in the designated columns.

5. Finalizing the Integration with Pabbly Connect

With both the trigger and action set up, you have successfully integrated Facebook comments into Google Sheets using Pabbly Connect. This automation will now run in the background, sending new comments directly to your Google Sheet.

To finalize, you can minimize all windows to see the complete workflow. The flow starts with Facebook comments being captured by Pabbly Connect, which then sends the data to Google Sheets. This seamless integration allows you to manage comments efficiently.

Remember, if the comments do not appear immediately, it may take a few minutes for the data to show up in your Google Sheet. Be patient and check back shortly.
