1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for WooCommerce and Facebook Integration

To display popular WooCommerce products on Facebook Pages, the first step is to set up Pabbly Connect. This platform allows seamless integration between WooCommerce and Facebook, automating the process of fetching product details.

After signing up for a free account on Pabbly Connect, log in to access the dashboard. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to begin setting up your automation. Name your workflow appropriately, such as ‘Display Popular WooCommerce Products on Facebook’.

2. Scheduling Automation with Pabbly Connect

To automate the posting of popular products, you need to schedule how often this workflow runs. In Pabbly Connect, select the ‘Scheduler’ as your trigger module. This allows you to specify when you want the automation to execute.

  • Choose how frequently you want the workflow to run (e.g., weekly).
  • Select the specific day and time for the workflow to execute.
  • For example, set it to run every Sunday at 8 AM.

Once you configure the schedule, click ‘Save’. Your workflow is now set to automatically fetch popular product details from WooCommerce and post them on Facebook.

3. Fetching Popular WooCommerce Products Using Pabbly Connect

After scheduling, the next step is to fetch the details of popular products from WooCommerce. In the action step, select WooCommerce and choose the action event as ‘Get All Products’. This retrieves the product data you need.

To connect WooCommerce, you will need to enter your consumer key, consumer secret, and website URL. Generate an API key from your WooCommerce settings under the Advanced tab, and ensure you have the correct permissions set (Read/Write).

Once the connection is established, trigger a test request to fetch all product details. Make sure to toggle the ‘Simple Response’ option off to receive the data in an array format. This will allow you to access the product details effectively using Pabbly Connect.

To ensure only popular products are shared, you need to filter the product data. Use the ‘Iterator’ feature in Pabbly Connect to iterate through the array of products fetched earlier. This allows you to handle each product one by one.

  • Set a condition to check if the total sales of a product are greater than 100.
  • If the condition is met, proceed to create an image for the product.
  • If not, the workflow will skip that product.

This filtering process ensures that only the most popular products are considered for the next steps in your automation workflow using Pabbly Connect.

5. Creating an Image and Sharing on Facebook

After filtering, the next step is to create an image for the popular product using the Switchboard Canvas application integrated with Pabbly Connect. Select the action event as ‘Create Image’ and connect your Switchboard Canvas account.

When setting up the image creation, select the template you prepared for displaying products. Map the product image URL obtained from the earlier steps into the appropriate field in the template. This will generate a visually appealing poster for your popular product.

Finally, to share the created image on Facebook, add another action step in Pabbly Connect. Choose Facebook Pages and select ‘Create Page Photo’ as the action event. Connect your Facebook account and map the image URL generated in the previous step. Add a description and click ‘Save’ to post the image automatically on your Facebook Page.
