2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After logging into Pabbly Connect, you will see the dashboard where you can create a new workflow. Click on ‘Create Workflow’ and name it something like ‘Send Facebook Messages to Google Chat.’ You can choose to save this workflow in a specific folder for better organization.

• Click on ‘Create’ to initiate the workflow.
• You will see two sections: Trigger and Action.
• Select Facebook Messenger as the Trigger application.

Now, choose the trigger event as ‘New Message Sent to Page’. Click on ‘Connect’ to establish a connection with your Facebook Messenger account through Pabbly Connect. This will allow you to receive messages directly from your Facebook page.

3. Setting Up Facebook Messenger Trigger

Once you have selected Facebook Messenger as your trigger, you need to authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Facebook account. Click on ‘Add New Connection’ and log in to your Facebook account. After successful authorization, select the specific Facebook page, such as ‘Sparkle Evenings,’ where you want to receive messages.

Next, click on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button. This action will prompt you to send a test message from another account to your Facebook page. For example, send a message like ‘Hello, may I know about the discount offers you’re providing for this wedding season?’ This step is crucial as it allows Pabbly Connect to capture the response from Facebook Messenger.

4. Connecting Google Chat as Action

Now, it’s time to set up Google Chat as the action application in your workflow. In the action section, select Google Chat and choose the action event as ‘Create Message.’ Click on ‘Connect’ to establish a connection.

You will need to provide the Chat Webhook URL. To get this, go to your Google Chat space, click on the space name, and navigate to ‘Apps and Integrations’. Click on ‘Add Webhook’ and create a new webhook by entering a name and pasting the Avatar URL you copied from Pabbly Connect.

• Name your webhook appropriately, such as ‘New Facebook Message’.
• Copy the generated webhook link and paste it back into Pabbly Connect.
• Map the message and sender name from the previous step.

After entering all details, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure the setup works correctly. You should see a confirmation that the message has been sent to your Google Chat space.

5. Testing the Integration Workflow

To confirm that your integration works, send another message to your Facebook page from a different account. For instance, you could send a message saying, ‘Hello, please reply as early as possible.’ After sending, check your Google Chat space.

If everything is set up correctly, you should see the same message appear in your Google Chat with the sender’s name. This confirms that Pabbly Connect has successfully automated the process of sending Facebook messages to Google Chat. You can now manage your team communications more efficiently.
