With the connection established, we can now set up actions to share the posts on social media. Start by adding a new action and selecting ‘Facebook Pages’ as the action application in Pabbly Connect. Choose ‘Create Page Post’ as the action event.
After connecting your Facebook account, map the post title and permalink from the previous step. This ensures that every new WordPress post gets shared with the correct title and link on Facebook.
