1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To create Pinterest pins from Facebook posts, the first step is accessing Pabbly Connect. You can visit the Pabbly Connect homepage by simply browsing to the official website. Here, you will find options to sign in or sign up for free, allowing you to explore the software’s features.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After logging into Pabbly Connect, you need to create a new workflow. This is done by clicking on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located at the top right corner of the dashboard. You will be prompted to name your workflow, so enter a suitable name like ‘Create Pinterest Pin from Facebook Posts’.

• Click on ‘Create’ after naming your workflow.
• This will take you to the workflow editor where you can set up triggers and actions.

In the workflow editor, you will begin by setting up a trigger. This is essential for automating the process of creating pins whenever a new post is made on Facebook.

3. Setting Up the Trigger for Facebook Posts

To initiate the automation, select Facebook as your trigger application in Pabbly Connect. If your Facebook account is already connected, you can choose ‘Select Existing Connection’. If not, click on ‘Connect with Facebook’ to establish a new connection.

Once connected, you need to select the trigger event, which is typically set to ‘New Post’. This means that every time you post something new on Facebook, it will trigger the automation to create a Pinterest pin.

• Add a description for your post in the designated field.
• Choose the image you want to include from your downloaded files.

After setting up the trigger, click on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button to ensure that Pabbly Connect successfully receives the data from your Facebook post.

4. Creating a Pinterest Pin as an Action

Next, you will set up the action step in Pabbly Connect. Select Pinterest as your action application, and choose ‘Create a Pin’ as the action event. This action will create a new pin on your Pinterest account whenever a new Facebook post is made.

Make sure to connect your Pinterest account if it’s not already linked. You will need to map the data from the previous step to ensure that the description and image link are included in the new pin.

Map the description from the Facebook post to the description field in Pinterest. Leave optional fields blank if not required.

Once all required fields are filled, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify that the Pinterest pin is created successfully.

5. Testing the Integration Workflow

After setting up both the trigger and action in Pabbly Connect, it’s time to test the integration. To do this, create a new post on your Facebook account with an image and description. Once published, this should automatically trigger the workflow you set up.

Check your Pinterest account to see if the new pin has been created successfully. You should see the same description and image that you posted on Facebook. This confirms that the automation is working correctly.

If the pin is created, your integration is successful. You can now automate this process for future posts.

With this setup, you can efficiently manage your social media content, saving time and effort while maximizing your reach on both Facebook and Pinterest.
