Your workflow is now created, and you will set up the trigger and actions next. This process allows Pabbly Connect to manage the automation between your RSS feed and Facebook.

3. Setting Up the Trigger with RSS Feed

The first step in your workflow is to set up a trigger that detects new items in your RSS feed using Pabbly Connect. For this, select ‘RSS by Pabbly’ as your trigger application. Then, choose the event ‘New Item in Feed’.

You will need to enter the RSS feed URL. For example, if you are using the sports category from The Hindu, copy the relevant RSS feed URL. After entering the URL, select the filter type as ‘Default’ and click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This action will pull the latest feed data, which you can verify in the response section.

4. Setting Up the Action to Post on Facebook

Now that you have your trigger set up, it’s time to create the action that posts to Facebook using Pabbly Connect. Select ‘Facebook Pages’ as your action application and choose the event ‘Create Page Post’.

• Connect your Facebook account by selecting ‘Add New Connection’ and following the prompts.
• Choose the Facebook page where you want to post the articles.
• Map the data fields from your RSS feed to your Facebook post, including the title and URL.

Once you have mapped the data, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure everything is functioning correctly. This step will create a test post on your Facebook page.

5. Finalizing Your Automation Process

After successfully testing your action, you can finalize your automation process in Pabbly Connect. Review the workflow to ensure the trigger and action are set up correctly. If everything looks good, turn on your workflow.

This automation will now monitor your RSS feed for new articles and automatically post them to your selected Facebook page whenever there’s an update. You can refresh your Facebook page to see the newly created posts reflecting the changes instantly.

With this setup, you can efficiently manage your content sharing without manual posting, allowing for a seamless integration between your RSS feed and Facebook using Pabbly Connect.
