2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will create a workflow in Pabbly Connect to automate the process. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button on your dashboard. You will be prompted to name your workflow; for this example, name it ‘Create Social Media Posts from Notion Database Items’.

• Select a folder for your workflow.
• You can create multiple folders for better organization.

After naming your workflow, click on the ‘Create’ button. This will set up the initial framework for your automation, allowing you to proceed with connecting your applications.

3. Setting Up the Trigger with Notion

Now, you will configure the trigger for your workflow using Pabbly Connect. Select Notion as your trigger application. Choose the trigger event as ‘New Database Item’. This means whenever a new item is added to your specified Notion database, it will trigger the workflow.

Next, you will need to connect your Notion account to Pabbly Connect. Click on ‘Connect with Notion’ and authorize the connection. Once connected, select the database you want to monitor for new items. This will allow Pabbly Connect to capture the necessary data for posting.

4. Configuring the Action for Facebook

After setting up the trigger, it’s time to configure the action that will post to Facebook using Pabbly Connect. Select Facebook as your action application and choose the action event as ‘Create Page Post’. This action will allow you to automatically post content to your Facebook page.

Authorize your Facebook account with Pabbly Connect. Once connected, select the page where you want to post. Map the content from your Notion database to the Facebook post fields. This includes the title, description, and any other relevant details.

5. Configuring the Action for LinkedIn

To extend your automation, you will also configure LinkedIn as another action in Pabbly Connect. Select LinkedIn as your action application and choose ‘Create Share Update’ as the action event. This will allow you to post updates to your LinkedIn profile automatically.

As with Facebook, authorize your LinkedIn account with Pabbly Connect. Select the visibility settings for your post, such as ‘Pabbly’. Map the content from your Notion database in the same way as you did for Facebook. This ensures that the same content is shared across both platforms seamlessly.
