To add new comments from your Facebook page and Facebook ads to Google Sheets, you will first need to set up Pabbly Connect. This powerful integration platform allows you to automate the transfer of comments directly into your Google Sheets. Start by signing up for a free account on Pabbly Connect.

Once you’re logged in, navigate to the dashboard and click on ‘Create Workflow’. Name your workflow, for instance, ‘Facebook Comments to Google Sheets’, and select the folder where you want to save it. This sets the stage for your automation process.

2. Configuring the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

The next step involves configuring the trigger in Pabbly Connect. In the trigger window, search for ‘Facebook Pages’ and select it. Choose the trigger event as ‘New Comment’ to ensure that the automation starts whenever a new comment is made on your Facebook page or ads.

• Select ‘Facebook Pages’ as the app.
• Choose ‘New Comment’ as the trigger event.
• Click on ‘Connect’ and add a new connection to your Facebook account.

After connecting, choose the specific Facebook page you want to monitor for new comments. This is crucial for ensuring that only relevant comments are captured in your Google Sheets.

3. Adding Filter Conditions in Pabbly Connect

After setting up the trigger, the next step is to add filter conditions to your Pabbly Connect workflow. This is important to ensure that only new comments are logged in your Google Sheets and not edited or removed comments. Use the filter function to set conditions based on the verb and item.

• Set the condition for the verb to be ‘equals to add’.
• Set the item condition to ‘equals to comment’.
• Ensure that the from ID is not equal to your own Facebook page ID.

These filters will help you refine the data captured by Pabbly Connect, ensuring that only the necessary information is sent to Google Sheets.

4. Mapping Data to Google Sheets in Pabbly Connect

With the filters in place, it’s time to map the data to your Google Sheets using Pabbly Connect. Search for ‘Google Sheets’ in the action step and select it. Choose the action event as ‘Add New Row’ to input the new comment data into your spreadsheet.

You will then need to connect your Google Sheets account to Pabbly Connect. Select your spreadsheet from the dropdown list and choose the specific sheet where you want the comments to be logged. After that, map the fields from the trigger response to the corresponding columns in your Google Sheets.

5. Testing the Integration with Pabbly Connect

Finally, you need to test your integration to ensure everything works smoothly. Post a comment on your Facebook page from another account and check if it appears in your Google Sheets. This will confirm that the setup using Pabbly Connect is functioning correctly.

After testing, you should see the new comment along with its details such as date, time, name, post link, and comment ID in your Google Sheets. This automation not only saves time but also helps in tracking user engagement effectively.

Conclusion

Using Pabbly Connect, you can easily automate the process of adding new comments from Facebook Page and Facebook Ads to Google Sheets. This integration simplifies tracking and monitoring user engagement, helping you stay organized and efficient.
