Now is the application we will use to automate the process of posting details from Facebook to Google Sheets. First, we need to access the Now platform by visiting the Pabbly website. Once there, you can either sign in or create a new account if you don’t have one.

After logging in, click on the ‘Access Now’ button under the Pabbly Connect section. This will take you to the dashboard where you can manage your workflows. To create a new workflow, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. You will then name your workflow, for example, ‘Add Facebook Page Post to Google Sheets,’ and select a folder to save it in.

2. Configuring Facebook Page Trigger

The next step involves setting up the trigger for our workflow. The trigger application will be Facebook, and the event will be a new post. Select Facebook from the trigger application options. using Pabbly Connect

To configure the trigger, you will need to connect your Facebook account. Click on ‘Add New Connection’ and log into your Facebook account to grant access. After successfully connecting, map your Facebook page, which in this case is called ‘Test Page.’ This mapping allows Now to recognize the specific page from which to pull data.

  • Select Facebook as the trigger application.
  • Choose the event as ‘New Post’.
  • Connect your Facebook account to Now.
  • Map your Facebook page to retrieve data.

Once the mapping is done, save your settings and test the connection. After posting something on your Facebook page, check back to see if the response is captured in Now.

Now that we have our trigger set up, the next step is to configure the action, which will be Google Sheets. Select Google Sheets as the action application and choose the event ‘Add New Row’. using Pabbly Connect

To connect your Google Sheets account, click on ‘Add New Connection’ and sign in with your Google account.

  • Select Google Sheets as the action application.
  • Choose the action event ‘Add New Row’.
  • Connect your Google account.
  • Select the ‘Facebook Post’ spreadsheet.

Map the fields from the Facebook post, including post ID, post link, post type, and post caption. This mapping ensures that the correct data is transferred from Facebook to Google Sheets.

4. Testing the Integration

After setting up both the trigger and action, it’s important to test the integration to ensure it works correctly. First, make a new post on your Facebook page. For example, post a photo with a caption like ‘Capturing the Moments of Life.’ Once the post is live, return to Now to check if the response is received. using Pabbly Connect

If the integration is working, you should see the details of your Facebook post captured in the Now interface. This includes the post ID, link, type, and caption. After confirming the data is received, proceed to check your Google Sheets.

Upon reviewing your Google Sheets, you should find a new row populated with the details of the Facebook post. This confirms that the integration between Facebook and Google Sheets via Now is functioning as expected.
