To confirm that the integration between Google Calendar and Facebook is functioning correctly through Pabbly Connect, create a new event in your Google Calendar. For instance, set up an event titled ‘Physics Lecture 101’ with the details of the event, including time and location.

Once the event is created, return to Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ again. This will fetch the latest event details and post them to your selected Facebook page. Refresh your Facebook page to see if the post appears as expected.
