1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Facebook to Telegram Automation

To begin with, you need to access Pabbly Connect to automate media sharing from Facebook to Telegram. Start by logging into your Pabbly Connect account and navigating to the dashboard. If you don’t have an account yet, you can create one easily and get 100 free automation tasks every month.

Once logged in, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. You can name your workflow, such as ‘Facebook to Telegram Automation.’ After naming, click the ‘Create’ button to proceed. This setup will allow you to connect Facebook and Telegram seamlessly through Pabbly Connect.

2. Configuring the Trigger: Facebook Pages in Pabbly Connect

The next step involves setting up the trigger in your Pabbly Connect workflow. Select the app as ‘Facebook Pages’ and choose the trigger event as ‘New Post.’ This means that every time a new post is created on your Facebook page, it will trigger the automation.

• Choose ‘Facebook Pages’ from the app list.
• Select ‘New Post’ as the trigger event.
• Connect your Facebook account by clicking on the ‘Connect’ button.

After connecting, select the Facebook page you want to monitor. Set the number of posts to retrieve, typically one post at a time, and save the configuration. This setup ensures that Pabbly Connect can fetch the latest post data from your Facebook page whenever a new post is created.

3. Setting Up Telegram Action in Pabbly Connect

After configuring the trigger, the next step is to set the action that Pabbly Connect will take when a new post is detected. In this case, select ‘Telegram Bot’ as the action app and choose the action event as ‘Send Photo.’ This allows you to send the media from the Facebook post directly to your Telegram group.

To connect Telegram, you need to create a bot using the BotFather in Telegram and obtain the API token. Once you have the token, paste it into Pabbly Connect to establish the connection. You also need to add the bot to the Telegram group where you want to send the messages.

• Create a bot using BotFather in Telegram.
• Copy the API token provided by BotFather.
• Add the bot to your Telegram group to enable message sending.

With the connection established, you can now map the necessary fields such as chat ID and media URL from the Facebook post. This step is crucial for ensuring that Pabbly Connect sends the correct media to your Telegram group.

4. Creating Multiple Routes for Different Media Types

In this section, you will set up multiple routes in Pabbly Connect to handle different types of posts, such as photos, videos, and text. Start by using the router feature in Pabbly Connect to create distinct paths for each media type. This allows you to customize how each media type is processed and sent to Telegram.

For instance, when a photo post is detected, route it to the Telegram action for sending a photo. Similarly, create another route for video posts that will send a video instead. This setup ensures that your audience receives the correct format of media on Telegram without any manual intervention.

Create a route for photo posts and configure the action to send a photo. Clone this route for video posts and adjust the action to send a video. Create a third route for text posts and set it to send a text message.

This routing feature in Pabbly Connect is essential for managing different types of content effectively, ensuring that your automation is versatile and responsive to various post types.

5. Testing and Finalizing the Automation

The final step in this automation process is to test the entire workflow to ensure everything works as expected. Trigger a test post on your Facebook page and observe if the media is sent to your Telegram group correctly. Use the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ feature in Pabbly Connect to check the connections.

Once you confirm that the media is being sent as intended, you can finalize your workflow. This means that every time you create a new post on Facebook, the same content will automatically be shared on Telegram without any manual effort required from your side. This automation streamlines your social media management significantly.

By using Pabbly Connect, you can ensure that your audience stays engaged across platforms with minimal effort, making it a powerful tool for social media automation.
