In the Pabbly Connect dashboard, you will find a blue button labeled ‘Create Workflow.’ Click on this button to start creating your automation. Name your workflow something relevant, such as ‘Post Message to Facebook Group for New YouTube Video,’ and then click ‘Create.’

This action will create a blank workflow with two sections: Trigger and Action. The Trigger section will initiate the process when a new video is uploaded to your YouTube channel.

• Click on the ‘Trigger’ section.
• Select ‘YouTube’ as your trigger application.
• Choose the event ‘New Video in Channel.’

Now, you will need to connect your YouTube account through Pabbly Connect, allowing it to access your channel ID and other necessary details.

After selecting YouTube as the trigger application, you will need to authenticate your account. Click on ‘Add New Connection’ and follow the prompts to connect your Google account linked to your YouTube channel.

Once connected, you will see your Channel ID. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to retrieve details about your latest uploaded video. This step is essential as it allows Pabbly Connect to pull the video URL, title, and description, which will be used in the next steps.

• Confirm that the video details appear correctly in the response.
• Ensure the video URL is ready for posting on Facebook.

With the video information retrieved, you can now proceed to set up the action to post on your Facebook group using Pabbly Connect.

4. Post Message to Facebook Group Using Pabbly Connect

Now that you have your YouTube trigger set up, it’s time to configure the action for Facebook. Select ‘Facebook Groups’ as your action application and choose the event ‘Post a Message.’

Again, you will need to connect your Facebook account. Click on ‘Add New Connection’ and follow the prompts. Once connected, you will need to fill in the required fields, such as Group Name, Message, and Link.

Select your Facebook group from the dropdown list. Compose your message, including a prompt for viewers to like and comment. Paste the YouTube video link into the designated field.

After filling in all the necessary details, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to send a test message to your Facebook group. This ensures that everything is working correctly through Pabbly Connect.

5. Verify Your Facebook Group Post

After sending the test request, check your Facebook group to verify that the message has been posted successfully. You should see the message you crafted along with the YouTube video link.

This step confirms that your integration is functioning as intended. If you see the post in your group, it means that Pabbly Connect has successfully automated the process of notifying your Facebook group about new YouTube videos.

Congratulations! You have now set up an effective automation using Pabbly Connect to connect YouTube and Facebook seamlessly.
