1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for WooCommerce and Facebook Integration

To share new WooCommerce products on different Facebook pages based on category, you will first need to set up Pabbly Connect. This platform enables seamless automation between your WooCommerce store and Facebook pages.

Begin by signing up for a free account on Pabbly Connect. Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard and click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow (e.g., ‘WooCommerce to Facebook’) and select a folder to save it in. After creating your workflow, you will see two windows: the trigger window and the action window.

2. Configuring WooCommerce as the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In the trigger window, select WooCommerce as the app. The goal here is to set up Pabbly Connect to listen for new product additions. Choose the trigger event as ‘New Product Created’ from the dropdown menu.

• Search for WooCommerce in the app list.
• Select ‘New Product Created’ as the trigger event.
• Copy the webhook URL provided by Pabbly Connect.

Next, you need to integrate this webhook URL into your WooCommerce settings. Go to WooCommerce Settings, navigate to the Advanced tab, and click on Webhooks. Click on ‘Add Webhook’ and fill in the required fields, such as naming it ‘Pabbly Connect’ and ensuring the status is set to active. In the delivery URL field, paste the webhook URL you copied earlier.

3. Adding a New Product in WooCommerce

With Pabbly Connect configured to capture new products, you can now add a product in your WooCommerce store. Go to the Products section and click on ‘Add New Product.’ Fill in the product details, including its name, description, price, and category.

For instance, if you add a product named ‘Urban Fit Hoodie’ and categorize it under ‘Clothing,’ click on the ‘Publish’ button. Once published, Pabbly Connect will capture the product details through the webhook.

4. Setting Up Facebook Page Post Action in Pabbly Connect

Now that you have the product details captured, it’s time to set up the action in Pabbly Connect. In the action window, select Facebook Pages as the app. Choose the action event as ‘Create Page Post’ or ‘Create Page Photo Post’ based on your preference.

• Connect your Facebook account to Pabbly Connect.
• Select the appropriate Facebook page where you want to post.
• Fill in the caption and image URL using the mapped product details.

For example, if your product category is ‘Clothing,’ you would post to your designated Facebook page for clothing. Ensure you include a link to the product page for purchasing.

5. Testing the Automation Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After setting up the action step, it’s crucial to test your automation. Add another product, this time under the ‘Furniture’ category. Publish the product and check if Pabbly Connect triggers the Facebook post as expected.

Upon refreshing your Facebook page, you should see a new post with the product details. If everything works correctly, this indicates that your automation is successfully sharing new WooCommerce products on the appropriate Facebook pages based on their categories.
