To create Pinterest pins from Facebook posts, start by accessing Pabbly Connect. Visit the Pabbly Connect homepage by browsing to the official website.

If you’re a new user, click on the ‘Sign Up Free’ button to create an account. Existing users should click on ‘Sign In’ to access their dashboard. Once logged in, you will see all the applications available in Pabbly, including the option to integrate Facebook and Pinterest.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Next, you need to create a new workflow in Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located in the top right corner of the dashboard. A dialog box will appear, prompting you to name your workflow.

• Name your workflow, for example, ‘Create Pinterest Pin from Facebook Posts’.
• Select a folder to save your workflow, or create a new one.
• Click on the ‘Create’ button.

After creating the workflow, you will navigate to the automation setup where you can add a trigger. This is the first step in connecting your Facebook posts with Pinterest.

3. Setting Up the Trigger for Facebook Posts

In this step, you will set the trigger application as Facebook in Pabbly Connect. Click on the trigger application option and select Facebook. If your Facebook account is already connected, you can choose that existing connection.

Once you select Facebook, you will need to specify the trigger event. Choose the option that corresponds to new posts being made on your Facebook account. This will allow Pabbly Connect to detect new posts and initiate the workflow.

4. Configuring the Action Step for Pinterest

After setting up the trigger, you will now configure the action step in Pabbly Connect. Select Pinterest as the action application and choose the action event as ‘Create a Pin’. This step will allow you to create a new pin in your Pinterest account whenever a new Facebook post is detected.

Map the necessary fields from the Facebook post to the Pinterest pin creation fields. This includes the description and image link from your Facebook post, which Pabbly Connect will automatically insert into the Pinterest pin.

• Add a description for your Pinterest pin.
• Select the image you want to use from your Facebook post.
• Leave any non-required fields blank.

After completing the mapping, click on the ‘Save’ button to finalize the action step.

5. Testing the Integration

The final step involves testing the integration in Pabbly Connect. To do this, create a new post on your Facebook account. Add an image and description to this post, then click on the ‘Post’ button.

After posting, check your Pinterest account to see if the new pin has been created successfully. You should see the same image and description from your Facebook post reflected in the Pinterest pin. This confirms that the automation is working correctly.
