1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To send private replies on Facebook for new comments, the first step is accessing Pabbly Connect. Open your browser and navigate to the Pabbly Connect website.

If you are new to Pabbly, click on ‘Sign Up Free’ to create your account. Existing users can simply sign in. After signing in, click on ‘Access Now’ under Pabbly Connect to reach the dashboard.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once on the dashboard of Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name the workflow something relevant, like ‘Send Direct Message for New Comment on Facebook Page’.

• Select a folder for your workflow.
• Click on the ‘Create’ button to initialize the workflow.
• You will see two windows: Trigger and Action.

This setup allows Pabbly Connect to automate the process whenever a new comment is made on your Facebook page.

3. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In the Trigger window, search for ‘Facebook Pages’ and select it. Choose the trigger event as ‘New Comment’. Click on ‘Connect’ and then ‘Add New Connection’ to link your Facebook account.

• Click on ‘Connect with Facebook Pages’.
• Select your Facebook page from the dropdown menu.
• Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to wait for a new comment.

This action allows Pabbly Connect to capture details of any new comments made on your specified Facebook page.

4. Filtering Comments to Avoid Loops

To ensure that the automation only responds to comments from users other than the page owner, set up a filter in Pabbly Connect. Select ‘Filter by Pabbly’ in the Action step.

Set conditions where ‘Rest One Verb’ equals ‘add’. Add another condition for ‘Rest One Item’ to equal ‘comment’. Ensure ‘From ID’ does not equal your Facebook page ID.

This filtering step is crucial for Pabbly Connect to prevent sending replies to comments made by the page itself, ensuring a smooth automation process.

5. Generating Replies Using AI

Next, add an action step to generate a response using an AI tool like OpenAI. Choose ‘OpenAI’ and select the action event to generate a reply.

Connect your OpenAI account by entering the API key. Use a prompt to instruct the AI on how to generate the response based on the comment received. The prompt should include details like the comment and the name of the user.

The generated message will then be sent back through Pabbly Connect as a private reply to the original commenter on Facebook. This automation enhances engagement without manual effort.

Conclusion

Using Pabbly Connect, you can efficiently automate sending private replies to new comments on your Facebook page. This integration enhances user engagement and saves time.
