2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once logged into Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. This initiates the process of setting up your automation.

Click on the ‘Create using AI’ option.
Select ‘Facebook Pages’ as the trigger application.
Choose ‘Send a Private Reply’ as the action.

After setting this up, approve and open the workflow. You will then need to connect your Facebook account to Pabbly Connect to proceed.
