1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Social Media Automation

To begin scheduling social media posts, you need to access Pabbly Connect. Start by typing the URL Pabbly.com/connect into your web browser. This will take you to the landing page of Pabbly Connect.

On the right side, you will see options to sign in or sign up for free. If you are an existing user, click on ‘Sign In’. For new users, the sign-up process is quick and easy, taking less than two minutes. Once logged in, you will be directed to the applications page where you can access Pabbly Connect.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After accessing Pabbly Connect, locate the ‘Create Workflow’ button on the dashboard. Click it to open a dialog box prompting you to name your workflow. Name it something like ‘Schedule Social Media Post with New Link’ and click on ‘Create’.

You will now see two important events: Trigger and Action. The trigger is the event that starts the workflow, while the action is what happens as a result. For this integration, choose ‘Facebook Pages’ as the trigger application and select the event ‘New Post’. This means the workflow will run every time there’s a new post on your Facebook page.

3. Connecting Facebook Pages to Pabbly Connect

Now that you have set up the trigger, it’s time to connect your Facebook account to Pabbly Connect. Click on ‘Connect’ and then choose ‘Add New Connection’. You will be prompted to log into your Facebook account. Once logged in, authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Facebook pages.

Select the Facebook page you want to monitor for new posts. For instance, if you have a page called ‘Ayurvedic Spa’, choose that one and specify how many posts you want to retrieve (up to 100). Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to confirm the connection. Pabbly Connect will now fetch the latest post from your selected page.

4. Scheduling Posts with New Link via Pabbly Connect

With the Facebook trigger set, the next step is to schedule the post using New Link. For the action application, select ‘New Link’ and the action event will be ‘Add Post to Collection’. Click on ‘Connect’ to link your New Link account to Pabbly Connect.

Once connected, you will need to fill in the required fields. For the collection name, select the appropriate collection you have set up in New Link. You can also specify the caption for the post, which Pabbly Connect will pull from the Facebook post data. After entering all necessary details, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure everything is working correctly.

• Select the channel for posting (e.g., Facebook or Twitter).
• Choose the schedule time for the post.
• Enter a color code for the collection.

After confirming all settings, refresh your New Link dashboard to check if the post has been scheduled successfully.

5. Testing the Integration in Real Time

To ensure that your integration is functioning as expected, create a new post on your Facebook page. For example, write a post about ‘Healthy Eating Habits’ and add an image. After posting, Pabbly Connect will check for new data every 10 minutes due to its polling time setting.

After a waiting period of about 10 minutes, check your New Link account to verify that the new post has been added. This confirms that the integration between Facebook and New Link via Pabbly Connect is successful. You can now automate your social media posting across multiple platforms effortlessly.
