2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After logging into Pabbly Connect, the next step is to create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located at the top right corner of your dashboard.

In the dialog box that appears, name your workflow. For this integration, we will call it ‘Get Facebook Messages in Google Sheets’. Save the workflow under the folder named ‘Google Sheets’ for better organization.

• Click on the ‘Create’ button to initialize your workflow.
• You will be directed to a setup window that allows you to define your trigger and action.

Once you are in the setup window, you will configure the trigger application and action application. Remember, the trigger application will be Facebook Messenger, and the action application will be Google Sheets.

3. Setting Up Facebook Messenger as the Trigger Application

In the trigger section of Pabbly Connect, search for Facebook Messenger. Select it as your trigger application. The trigger event will be set to ‘New Message Sent to Page’. This means that every time a new message is sent to your Facebook page, the workflow will be activated.

Next, click on the ‘Connect’ button to establish a connection between Facebook Messenger and Pabbly Connect. You will need to log into your Facebook account and authorize the connection.

• Select your Facebook page from the drop-down menu.
• Click on ‘Save’ and send a test request to verify the connection.

After sending a test message to your Facebook page, return to Pabbly Connect. You should see the message captured in the webhook response, confirming that your trigger setup is complete.

4. Configuring Google Sheets as the Action Application

With the trigger set up, the next step is to configure Google Sheets as your action application in Pabbly Connect. In the action setup, search for Google Sheets and select it.

The action event will be set to ‘Add New Row’. This allows the messages captured from Facebook Messenger to be added to a new row in your specified Google Sheet.

Click on the ‘Connect’ button to establish a connection with Google Sheets. Sign in with your Google account and authorize the access.

Once the connection is established, select the Google Sheet you want to use for logging messages. Map the fields for first name, last name, and message using the data received from the Facebook Messenger trigger.

5. Testing and Verifying the Integration

After mapping the fields, click on ‘Save’ and send a test request to ensure everything is working correctly. You should receive a positive response indicating that the data has been successfully added to your Google Sheet.

Open your Google Sheet to verify that the new row has been populated with the message details. This confirms that the integration between Facebook Messenger and Google Sheets using Pabbly Connect is functioning as intended.

Now, every time a new message is received on your Facebook page, it will automatically be logged in Google Sheets. This automation saves time and ensures that you never miss a message.

With this setup, you can easily manage customer inquiries and improve your response times, all thanks to Pabbly Connect.
