In this tutorial, we will learn how to save Facebook Page posts to Google Sheets in real-time using Pabbly Connect. This integration allows you to automate data entry, ensuring that every new post on your Facebook Page is automatically recorded in your Google Sheets.

Many users find it challenging to connect Facebook and Google Sheets directly. However, with Pabbly Connect, even those without technical skills can easily set up this integration. Let’s start by understanding how to access Pabbly Connect and create this workflow.

2. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Facebook and Google Sheets

To get started, visit the Pabbly Connect website and sign up for an account. Once you’re signed in, navigate to the app section and select Pabbly Connect. Here, you can create a new workflow for your integration.

Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. You will be prompted to name your workflow; for this tutorial, we will name it ‘Facebook to Google Sheets’. After naming, click ‘Create’ to proceed. You will see two windows: one for the trigger and another for the action.

• Access Pabbly Connect and sign in.
• Create a new workflow named ‘Facebook to Google Sheets’.
• Select Facebook Pages as the trigger app.

Now, choose the trigger event as ‘New Post’. Click on ‘Connect’ to establish a new connection with Facebook Pages. Once connected, select the Facebook Page you want to track, ensuring that the correct page is displayed.

3. Creating a New Facebook Post

After setting up the trigger in Pabbly Connect, it’s time to create a new post on your selected Facebook Page. For demonstration, let’s post something simple, like ‘Earth is a unique planet because I live here’ along with an image.

Once you publish the post, return to Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This action will fetch the data from the newly created Facebook post. You should see the post message, image URL, and post URL in the response.

• Publish a new post on your Facebook Page.
• Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ in Pabbly Connect.
• Verify that the post data is fetched successfully.

Once you confirm that the data is fetched correctly, you can move on to the next step of integrating with Google Sheets.

4. Setting Up Google Sheets in Pabbly Connect

Now that your Facebook integration is ready, it’s time to set up Google Sheets. In the action event section of Pabbly Connect, select Google Sheets as the app and choose ‘Add New Row’ as the action event.

Connect your Google Sheets account by clicking on ‘Connect’ and selecting the appropriate account. Once connected, you will need to specify the Google Sheet where the Facebook post data will be stored. Create a new Google Sheet named ‘Facebook Data’ with the necessary columns: Page Name, Post Message, Image URL, and Post URL.

Select Google Sheets as the action app. Choose ‘Add New Row’ as the action event. Map the fields from Facebook to the corresponding columns in Google Sheets.

Map the fetched data to the appropriate columns in your Google Sheet. For example, map the Page Name to the corresponding column, followed by the Post Message, Image URL, and Post URL. Once everything is mapped, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure the data is sent to Google Sheets correctly.

5. Finalizing Your Facebook to Google Sheets Integration

After successfully sending the test data to Google Sheets, you can finalize your integration. You will see that a new row has been added to your Google Sheet with the Facebook post details. This confirms that your integration is working properly.

From this point onward, every time you create a new post on your Facebook Page, the details will automatically be sent to Google Sheets through Pabbly Connect. This automation saves you time and ensures that all your posts are recorded without manual effort.

Confirm that new posts are automatically added to Google Sheets. Ensure your setup is functioning correctly for future posts. Enjoy the benefits of automation with Pabbly Connect.
