1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for WooCommerce and Facebook Integration

To automatically post new products to Facebook from WooCommerce, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. This powerful automation tool allows you to create workflows without any coding skills. You can visit Pabbly Connect by typing Pabbly.com/connect in your browser.

Once on the Pabbly Connect landing page, you can sign in or sign up for a free account. Signing up gives you access to 100 free tasks monthly. After logging in, you will reach the dashboard where you can create new workflows and manage existing ones.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this section, you will create a workflow to link WooCommerce and Facebook using Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. You will be prompted to choose between the classic or modern workflow builder; select the classic option for familiarity.

• Name your workflow: ‘Automatically Post New Products to Facebook from WooCommerce’.
• Select a folder for your workflow.
• Click on ‘Create’ to finalize the workflow setup.

Once created, you will see two boxes labeled ‘Trigger’ and ‘Action’. The trigger indicates when the automation starts, while the action defines what happens next. For this integration, you will set WooCommerce as the trigger application and Facebook as the action application.

3. Setting Up the Trigger for WooCommerce

To set up the trigger in Pabbly Connect, select WooCommerce as the trigger application. The event you want to trigger the workflow is ‘New Product Created’. This means every time a new product is added to your WooCommerce store, the workflow will activate.

Next, you will need to connect WooCommerce to Pabbly Connect. A webhook URL is provided, which acts as a bridge between WooCommerce and Pabbly Connect. Copy this URL, and then navigate to your WordPress dashboard.

• Go to WooCommerce settings and click on ‘Advanced’.
• Select ‘Webhooks’ and click on ‘Add Webhook’.
• Fill out the webhook details, including naming it and setting the status to active.

Paste the copied webhook URL into the delivery URL field and save the webhook. This connects your WooCommerce store to Pabbly Connect, allowing it to receive product creation events.

4. Configuring the Action to Post on Facebook

After setting up the trigger, it’s time to configure the action in Pabbly Connect. Select Facebook Pages as the action application and choose ‘Create Page Post’ as the action event. If you don’t have an existing connection to Facebook, click on ‘Add New Connection’ to authenticate your Facebook account.

Once connected, you will need to specify the page where you want to post the new product updates. You can select your desired Facebook page from the dropdown list. Then, you will fill in the message and link URL fields, but instead of manually entering details, you will use the mapping feature to pull data from the WooCommerce trigger.

Map the image URL from the WooCommerce response. Create a message like ‘We have launched a new product: [Product Name]’. Include the product link for easy access.

This dynamic mapping ensures that every time a new product is added, the correct information is posted on your Facebook page.

5. Finalizing the Automation Workflow

To finalize your automation in Pabbly Connect, you will perform a test submission. This involves adding a new product in WooCommerce, which will trigger the workflow. Once you publish the product, you should see a response in Pabbly Connect indicating that the product details have been captured successfully.

After confirming the response, check your Facebook page to verify that the post has been created as expected. You should see the product name, description, and image included in the post. This confirms that your automation workflow is functioning correctly.

With this setup, you can now automatically post new products to Facebook from WooCommerce with ease. This integration saves time and ensures that your audience is always updated with your latest offerings.
