1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start integrating Google Sheets with Facebook, you need to access Pabbly Connect. If you are a new user, sign up for free to get 100 tasks each month. Existing users can simply sign in to their account.

Once logged in, navigate to the Pabbly Connect dashboard. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to initiate your automation process. Here, you will name your workflow, for example, ‘Create Social Media Post Using Anthropic’. Select the appropriate folder if you have created any.

2. Setting Up Google Sheets Trigger in Pabbly Connect

The first step in your automation is to set up a trigger in Pabbly Connect. Click on the trigger window and select Google Sheets as your trigger application. Choose the trigger event as ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’. This event will activate whenever a new row is added or updated in your Google Sheet.

• Search for Google Sheets in the trigger application.
• Select ‘New or Updated Spreadsheet Row’ as the trigger event.
• Copy the provided webhook URL for the next steps.

After selecting the trigger application and event, configure the webhook URL in your Google Sheets. Go to Extensions, select Pabbly Connect Webhooks, and click on ‘Initial Setup’. Paste the copied webhook URL and select the trigger column, which will be the final data column that sends data to Pabbly Connect.

3. Establishing Connection with Anthropic

Next, you need to set up the action in Pabbly Connect with Anthropic. In the action window, search for Anthropic and select it as your action application. Choose the action event ‘Create Completion’. This step allows you to generate text based on the input from Google Sheets.

To establish a connection, click on ‘Connect’ and enter your API key if you are creating a new connection. If you have an existing connection, you can use that. After connecting, choose the model you want to use, like Cloud 2, and enter the prompt that needs to be completed. Map the post or caption from the Google Sheets data to the prompt field.

• Select ‘Create Completion’ as the action event.
• Map the caption from Google Sheets to the prompt field.
• Set the maximum tokens and temperature for the response.

Once you have configured these settings, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to test the integration. If successful, you will receive the generated article from Anthropic.

4. Posting Generated Content to Facebook

After generating the content, the next step is to post it on Facebook using Pabbly Connect. Add another action step and select Facebook Pages as your action application. Choose the action event ‘Create Page Post’ to create a new post on your Facebook page.

Establish a connection with your Facebook account by clicking ‘Connect’. If prompted, log in to your Facebook account and authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Facebook pages. After connecting, select the page where you want to post the article. Map the message field with the content generated by Anthropic.

Select ‘Create Page Post’ as the action event. Map the generated article to the message field. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to publish the post.

Once you receive a positive response, check your Facebook page to confirm that the article has been successfully posted. This integration allows you to automate the posting process, saving you time and effort.
