1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start integrating Facebook and LinkedIn, first access Pabbly Connect. Visit the Pabbly Connect homepage by entering the URL in your browser. You will find options to sign in or sign up for free. If you’re a new user, click on the ‘Sign Up for Free’ button to create your account.

After signing up, you will receive 100 free tasks monthly to explore the platform. If you’re an existing user, simply click on ‘Sign In’ to log into your account. Once logged in, you will see the dashboard, where you can manage your workflows effectively.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once on the Pabbly Connect dashboard, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to initiate a new automation. You will be prompted to name your workflow. For this integration, name it ‘Share Facebook Page Post with Images to LinkedIn Company Page’. Choose a folder to save this workflow, such as ‘Social Media Automations’.

• Click on ‘Create’ to proceed.
• You will see two main sections: Trigger and Action.
• The Trigger is the event that starts the workflow, while Action is what happens as a result.

In this case, the trigger will be a new post on the Facebook page, which will automatically share that post on your LinkedIn company page. This is where Pabbly Connect plays a crucial role in linking both platforms seamlessly.

3. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

To set up the trigger, select ‘Facebook Pages’ as your trigger application. Next, choose the trigger event as ‘New Post’. This ensures that every time you create a new post on Facebook, it will trigger the workflow.

Click on the ‘Connect’ button to establish a connection between Pabbly Connect and your Facebook account. You will have two options: ‘Add New Connection’ or ‘Select Existing Connection’. Choose ‘Add New Connection’ and authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Facebook account.

• Ensure you are logged into your Facebook account for a smoother connection.
• Select the Facebook page you want to monitor for new posts.
• Turn on the ‘Simple Response’ option to capture the response data accurately.

After setting up the trigger, create a sample post on your Facebook page to test the connection. This step is crucial as it allows Pabbly Connect to capture the necessary data from the newly created post.

4. Setting Up the Action in Pabbly Connect

After successfully capturing the response from Facebook, the next step is to set up the action to post on LinkedIn. Select ‘LinkedIn’ as your action application and choose the action event as ‘Create Company Text Post with Image’. This action will share the Facebook post on your LinkedIn company page.

Again, click on ‘Connect’ to establish a new connection with LinkedIn. Since you are already logged in, authorize Pabbly Connect to access your LinkedIn account. Once connected, you will need to fill in various fields for the LinkedIn post.

Enter a content title for the LinkedIn post. Map the content and image URL from the Facebook post response. Set visibility to Pabbly and choose the feed distribution options.

Once all necessary fields are filled, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify that the integration works as intended. This step allows Pabbly Connect to post to your LinkedIn page automatically whenever a new post is made on your Facebook page.

5. Testing the Integration Between Facebook and LinkedIn

After setting up both the trigger and action, it’s time to test the integration. Create a new post on your Facebook page, including an image and relevant content. Once the post is live, check your LinkedIn company page to see if the post has been shared automatically.

If everything is set up correctly, you should see the new post on LinkedIn with the same content and image. This indicates that Pabbly Connect has successfully automated the sharing process between Facebook and LinkedIn, allowing you to reach a wider audience without additional effort.

In summary, using Pabbly Connect to automate the sharing of posts between Facebook and LinkedIn not only saves time but also enhances your social media strategy. This integration is particularly beneficial for real estate agencies looking to engage with clients across multiple platforms.
