Start by visiting the Pabbly Connect website and signing up for a free account. Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard to begin creating your workflow.

After accessing the dashboard, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. You will be prompted to name your workflow. Choose a descriptive name like ‘Facebook Group to Google Sheets’. This will help you identify the integration later. Proceed by clicking on ‘Create’ to move to the next step.

Connecting Facebook Groups with Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will connect your Facebook Groups to Pabbly Connect. Start by selecting Facebook as the trigger application. You will then choose the trigger event as ‘New Post’. This setup allows Pabbly Connect to monitor your chosen Facebook group for any new posts.

• Select the Facebook Groups option from the list.
• Authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Facebook account.
• Choose the specific Facebook group you want to monitor.

Once you have authorized and selected your group, set the limit for the number of posts to be fetched. For instance, entering ‘1’ means that only the most recent post will be sent to Google Sheets. After configuring these settings, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure that the setup works correctly.

Creating Google Sheets Integration with Pabbly Connect

After successfully connecting your Facebook group, the next step is to set up the Google Sheets integration using Pabbly Connect. In the action window, select Google Sheets as the action application. Choose the action event as ‘Add New Row’. This allows Pabbly Connect to add new entries to your Google Sheet whenever a new post is made in your Facebook group.

• Authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Google account.
• Select the Google Sheet where you want to save the posts.
• Map the fields from Facebook posts to the corresponding columns in Google Sheets.

For instance, you will map the group name, post content, image URL, and post URL. After mapping, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will send the data from the latest Facebook post to your Google Sheet, confirming that the integration is working as expected.

Testing the Integration of Facebook Posts in Google Sheets

With the integration between Facebook groups and Google Sheets established via Pabbly Connect, it’s time to test the functionality. Create a new post in your selected Facebook group. Ensure that the content is relevant and includes an image to verify that all data points are captured.

Once you publish the post, return to Pabbly Connect and click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ again. This action will fetch the data from your latest post. You should see the group name, post content, image URL, and post URL reflected in your Google Sheet. If everything is set up correctly, the data will appear seamlessly.
