1. Set Up Pabbly Connect for Facebook Slack Integration

To begin the automation process of sending Facebook group posts to a Slack channel, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. This powerful integration tool allows you to connect various applications seamlessly.

Start by signing up for a free account on the Pabbly Connect website. Once you have signed in, navigate to the dashboard and click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Here, you can name your workflow, such as ‘Facebook Group to Slack Automation’. After naming your workflow, click on the ‘Create’ button to proceed.

2. Configure Facebook Group as the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will set up the trigger for your automation. The trigger will be a new post in your Facebook group. Select Facebook Groups as the application from the trigger options in Pabbly Connect.

Next, choose the ‘New Post’ event as the trigger. Before connecting, ensure that you read the instructions provided by Pabbly Connect. You will need to add the Pabbly Connect app to your Facebook group. To do this, go to your Facebook group settings, navigate to advanced settings, and add the Pabbly Connect app.

• Access your Facebook group settings.
• Scroll down to find the ‘Advanced Settings’ option.
• Click on ‘Apps’ and add the Pabbly Connect app.

Once added, return to Pabbly Connect and click on the ‘Connect’ button. Choose ‘Add New Connection’, log in to your Facebook account, and select the group you want to automate. Set the limit for new posts to check every 10 minutes and click ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will fetch the latest post data from your Facebook group.

3. Set Up Slack Channel as the Action in Pabbly Connect

After successfully configuring the trigger, the next step is to set up the action that will send the Facebook post link to your Slack channel. In Pabbly Connect, search for Slack as the action application.

Choose ‘Send Channel Message’ as the action event. Click on the ‘Connect’ button, then select ‘Add New Connection’. You will be prompted to log in to your Slack account and authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Slack workspace. Choose the appropriate token type (User or Bot) based on your needs.

• Select the token type that suits your permissions.
• Allow Pabbly Connect to access your Slack workspace.
• Choose the Slack channel where messages will be sent.

Once connected, draft a message for your Slack channel. You can map the link from the Facebook post fetched in the previous step. After setting up the message, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify the connection.

4. Test Your Facebook to Slack Automation

Now that you have set up both the trigger and action in Pabbly Connect, it’s time to test your automation. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ in the Slack action setup. This will send a message to the designated Slack channel with the link to the Facebook post.

Check your Slack channel to confirm that the message has been received. The message should include the link to the new Facebook post along with any additional text you configured. This testing phase ensures that your automation is functioning correctly before you rely on it fully.

5. Finalize Your Automation Setup

Once you have confirmed that the message is sent successfully to your Slack channel, your automation setup is complete! With Pabbly Connect, this integration will now run automatically in the background. You only need to set it up once, and it will continue to work whenever new posts are made in your Facebook group.

Feel free to customize your message and settings in Pabbly Connect as needed. This automation will help you keep track of important communications without having to manually check your Facebook group constantly. Remember to monitor the automation occasionally to ensure everything is functioning smoothly.
