Once logged in, you will be directed to the dashboard of Pabbly Connect. Here, you can create new workflows and manage existing ones. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to begin setting up the integration between Facebook Messenger and Slack.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this section, we will create a workflow named ‘Send Facebook Message to Slack’. After clicking on the ‘Create Workflow’ option, a dialog box will prompt you to name your workflow. Select the folder for saving this workflow, then click ‘Create’.

• Name your workflow: Send Facebook Message to Slack
• Choose a folder: Test Integrations

After creating the workflow, you will see two sections: Trigger and Action. The Trigger is set to Facebook Messenger, while the Action is set to Slack. This setup will ensure that any new message sent to your Facebook page will automatically be forwarded to your Slack channel using Pabbly Connect.

3. Configuring Facebook Messenger as Trigger

To configure Facebook Messenger as the trigger, select it from the application list and choose the trigger event as ‘New Message Sent to Page’. Click on ‘Connect Now’ to establish a connection with your Facebook account.

Once connected, select the Facebook page you want to monitor for messages. In this case, choose the page named ‘Sparkle Evenings’. After selecting the page, click on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button to test the connection.

• Select Trigger Application: Facebook Messenger
• Choose Trigger Event: New Message Sent to Page
• Page to Monitor: Sparkle Evenings

After sending a test message to your Facebook page, you will receive a response in Pabbly Connect containing the message details. This confirms that your Facebook Messenger is successfully connected and ready to trigger actions.

4. Configuring Slack as Action

Next, we will set up Slack as the action in our workflow. Select Slack from the application list and choose the action event as ‘Send Channel Message’. Click on ‘Connect’ to link your Slack account with Pabbly Connect.

During the connection process, select the token type as ‘Bot’ to allow sending messages. Once authorized, you will need to specify the channel where the message should be sent. Select the channel named ‘Facebook Messages’ from your Slack account.

Now, map the message details received from Facebook Messenger to the Slack message format. This ensures that the message is sent dynamically, updating with each new Facebook message. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to finalize the setup.

5. Testing the Integration

After configuring both the trigger and action, it’s time to test the integration. Send a new message to your Facebook page, such as ‘Hello, what are your new services?’. Once the message is sent, check your Slack channel to confirm that the message has been forwarded successfully.

If everything is set up correctly, you should see the message in your Slack channel along with the sender’s name. This confirms that your integration between Facebook Messenger and Slack is working perfectly through Pabbly Connect.

To summarize, you have successfully created a workflow that sends Facebook messages to a Slack channel automatically. This automation saves time and ensures your team stays updated on customer inquiries.
