2. Setting Up the Trigger with RSS Feed

In this section, you will set up the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. The trigger will be the RSS feed from a source like Times of India. Click on the ‘Add Trigger’ option and select ‘RSS by Pabbly’ as your trigger application. Choose the action event as ‘New Item in Feed’.

  • Select the RSS feed URL from Times of India.
  • Paste the feed URL into the designated field in Pabbly Connect.
  • Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify the connection.

Once you receive a response confirming the connection, you will see the latest news item from the RSS feed. This confirms that your trigger is set up correctly and ready to capture new news items automatically.

3. Generate Postable Content Using AI

Next, you will use AI to create content for your Facebook post. In this step, add a new action step in Pabbly Connect and select ‘Perplexity AI’ as the action application. Choose the action event ‘Create Chat Completion’ to generate the content based on the news feed.

To establish the connection, you will need to enter your API key from your Perplexity account. Once connected, you will configure the prompt for the AI. For example, set the prompt as ‘Act as a viral Facebook content strategist. Turn the following RSS news into a high engagement Facebook post.’ Be sure to map the news content from the RSS feed into the prompt.

  • Select the model you want to use, such as ‘Sonar Pro’.
  • Set the maximum tokens for the response to ensure it’s concise.
  • Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to generate the content.

Upon receiving the response, you will have a postable content ready for your Facebook page, which includes engaging text and hashtags.

4. Posting the Content to Facebook

Now that you have generated the content, it’s time 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 facilitate posting directly to your Facebook page.

After connecting your Facebook account, you will need to select the page where you want to post the content. For instance, if you have a page named ‘Digital Dynamics’, select that. Then map the generated content from the previous step into the message field of the post.

Map the link URL from the RSS feed to include in your post. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to finalize the posting process. Check your Facebook page to confirm the post appears as expected.

After a successful test, you will see the post on your Facebook page, confirming that the automation is working flawlessly through Pabbly Connect.
