1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Facebook Comments

To start sharing new comments from Facebook Ads and your Facebook Page on Slack, we will use Pabbly Connect. First, access the Pabbly Connect dashboard by signing up for a free account. You can create your account in just a few minutes.

Once you are logged into your Pabbly Connect account, click on ‘Create Workflow’. Name your workflow, for example, ‘Facebook Comments to Slack’, and select the folder where you want to save this automation. After creating the workflow, you will see the trigger and action windows for setting up your integration.

2. Connecting Facebook to Pabbly Connect

In the trigger window, you need to connect your Facebook account to Pabbly Connect. Search for ‘Facebook Pages’ in the app selection. Choose ‘New Comment’ as the trigger event. This will allow Pabbly Connect to listen for new comments on your Facebook posts.

• Select ‘Add New Connection’ to connect your Facebook account.
• Click on ‘Connect with Facebook Pages’ and authorize the connection.
• Choose the Facebook Page from which you want to receive comments.

After setting up the connection, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This action will wait for a new comment to be posted on your selected Facebook Page, ensuring that Pabbly Connect is ready to capture the comment details.

3. Adding Filter Conditions in Pabbly Connect

To ensure that only relevant comments are sent to Slack, you need to add filter conditions in Pabbly Connect. After receiving the test request, go to the action step and select ‘Filter by P’. This module allows you to specify conditions for the incoming data.

Set up the following filter conditions:

• First condition: Set ‘Rest One Verb’ equals to ‘add’.
• Second condition: Set ‘Rest One Item’ equals to ‘comment’.
• Third condition: Set ‘Rest One Form ID’ does not equal to your Facebook Page ID.

By applying these filters, Pabbly Connect will only process new comments that are not replies from your own account, allowing your team to engage effectively.

4. Sending Comments to Slack Using Pabbly Connect

Now that you have set up the filter conditions, it’s time to send the new comments to Slack. In the action step, search for ‘Slack’ and select it. Choose ‘Send Channel Message’ as the action event.

Connect your Slack account by clicking on ‘Connect with Slack’. Choose the channel where you want to send the comments, for example, ‘Facebook Comments’. In the message field, you can customize the content as follows:

Include a greeting message such as ‘Hello, we have received a new comment on Facebook’. Map the name of the commenter, the comment text, and the link to the Facebook post.

After mapping these fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify that the comment is successfully sent to your Slack channel. This step confirms that Pabbly Connect is properly configured to automate comment sharing.

5. Testing the Automation Workflow

Once you have completed the setup, it’s crucial to test the automation. Post a new comment on your Facebook Page using a different account. Within seconds, check your Slack channel to see if the comment details appear as expected.

This testing phase ensures that Pabbly Connect is functioning correctly. If everything is set up properly, you should see a message in Slack with the comment details, including the commenter’s name and the comment text.

Try posting several comments to confirm that the automation is consistent. If you encounter any issues, revisit the filter conditions and ensure they are set correctly to capture the desired events.

Conclusion

Using Pabbly Connect, you can seamlessly share new comments from Facebook Ads and your Facebook Page directly to Slack. This automation enhances team communication and ensures quick responses to customer interactions.
