2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will create a new workflow to connect Facebook and Slack using Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and choose the new beta workflow builder for a modern interface. Name your workflow as ‘Automatically Send Facebook Page Post to Slack in Real-Time’ and select a folder for organization.

• Click on ‘Create’ to initiate the workflow.
• Select Facebook Pages as the trigger application.
• Choose the event as ‘New Post’ to activate the workflow.

Once you have set the trigger, click on ‘Connect’. If you do not have an existing connection, select ‘Add New Connection’ and authorize your Facebook account. This allows Pabbly Connect to access your Facebook page for posting updates.

3. Testing the Facebook Connection

After connecting Facebook, you must test the connection to ensure it is working correctly. In your Facebook account, create a new post on the selected page. For example, post something like ‘Is your business invisible online? Let’s fix that!’ Once posted, return to Pabbly Connect to check if the test captures the response.

When you create the post, you should see a response in Pabbly Connect indicating that the workflow is successfully capturing new posts. This step validates that the trigger is functioning as expected, allowing you to proceed with the next steps.

4. Setting Up Slack to Receive Posts

With the Facebook connection tested, it’s time to set up Slack as the action application in Pabbly Connect. Click on ‘Add New Action Step’ and select Slack. Choose the action event as ‘Send Channel Message’ and click on ‘Connect’. If prompted, authorize your Slack account to allow Pabbly Connect to send messages.

• Select the channel where you want to send the messages.
• Map the message content to include the Facebook post details dynamically.
• Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to finalize the setup.

By mapping the message, you ensure that each new post from Facebook is sent to Slack with the correct content. This dynamic mapping keeps your messages relevant and up-to-date.

5. Finalizing the Integration

After setting up Slack, you can finalize the integration in Pabbly Connect. Once you have saved your settings, test the action step to confirm that messages are being sent to your chosen Slack channel. You should see a confirmation message indicating that the integration is working properly.

This successful connection means that every time you create a new post on your Facebook page, it will automatically be shared in Slack, keeping your team updated in real time. This integration significantly enhances communication and efficiency within your digital marketing efforts.
