Once you are in Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to start a new project. Name your workflow appropriately, such as ‘Send Facebook Messenger Chat Messages on Gmail’. This will help you identify the workflow later.

• Click on the ‘Create’ button.
• Select the folder where you want to save your workflow.
• You should now see the trigger and action boxes for your workflow.

In this section, you will set up the trigger that initiates the workflow. The trigger application will be Facebook Messenger, and you will select the event as ‘New Message Sent to Page’. This setup allows you to capture new messages received on your Facebook page.

3. Setting Up the Trigger with Facebook Messenger

To configure the trigger, select Facebook Messenger from the application list in Pabbly Connect. Next, you will need to connect your Facebook Messenger account by clicking on ‘Connect’ and then ‘Add New Connection’.

Upon successful connection, choose the specific Facebook page from which you want to receive messages—’Green Pro Landscaping’ in this case. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify the connection. You will need to send a test message to this page to complete the setup.

• Log into your Facebook account and send a message to your page.
• Return to Pabbly Connect to see if the message was captured successfully.

Once the message is received, you will see the details in Pabbly Connect, including the sender’s name and the message content. This confirms that your trigger is working correctly.

4. Configuring the Action to Send Emails via Gmail

Now that the trigger is set up, it’s time to configure the action. Select Gmail as your action application in Pabbly Connect. The action event will be ‘Send Email’. This step is critical for sending the captured message to your team via email.

Connect your Gmail account by clicking on ‘Connect’ and then ‘Add New Connection’. After granting access, you will see fields to fill in the email details. You will need to specify the recipient’s email address, the email subject, and the email content.

Enter the email address of your team member. Set the subject as ‘New Facebook Message’. Compose the email content, mapping the sender’s name and message from the trigger response.

Finally, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to send the email. You should receive a confirmation response indicating that the email has been sent successfully.

5. Verifying the Integration Between Facebook Messenger and Gmail

To ensure everything is working, check your Gmail account for the email sent from Pabbly Connect. The subject should read ‘New Facebook Message’, and the content should include the sender’s name and the message details that you received on Facebook Messenger.

This verification step confirms that your integration is successful. You can now automatically send messages received on Facebook Messenger to your Gmail account, allowing your team to stay updated without manual effort.

In summary, you set up a trigger to capture new messages from Facebook Messenger and configured an action to send those messages through Gmail using Pabbly Connect. This integration streamlines communication and enhances team collaboration.
