1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To start using Pabbly Connect, first, navigate to the Pabbly Connect website. Sign in or sign up for free to create a new account. This platform allows you to automate your workflows seamlessly, especially for sharing YouTube videos on your Facebook page.

After logging in, you will have access to the dashboard where you can create workflows. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button, and you will be guided through the setup process, ensuring you can connect your YouTube and Facebook accounts effortlessly.

2. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will set up the trigger for your workflow using Pabbly Connect. The trigger application will be YouTube, and the event will be ‘New Video in Channel’. This means that the workflow will initiate whenever a new video is uploaded to your YouTube channel.

• Select the YouTube application as the trigger.
• Choose the event ‘New Video in Channel’.
• Connect your YouTube account by clicking on ‘Sign in with Google’.

Once connected, select the channel from which you want to capture new videos. After setting up the trigger, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure everything is working correctly. This step confirms that Pabbly Connect captures the latest video uploaded to your channel.

3. Setting Up the Action to Share on Facebook

The next step involves setting up the action in Pabbly Connect. Here, you will select Facebook Pages as the action application and the event will be ‘Create Page Post’. This allows you to share the YouTube video directly on your Facebook page.

• Select Facebook Pages as the action application.
• Choose the event ‘Create Page Post’.
• Connect your Facebook account by clicking on ‘Connect with Facebook Pages’.

After connecting, select the Facebook page where you want to post the video. Enter the message you want to display along with the video link. Make sure to map the video title and URL from the previous step so that they dynamically update with each new video uploaded.

4. Testing the Automation Workflow

Now that you have set up the trigger and action, it’s time to test your automation in Pabbly Connect. Upload a new video to your YouTube channel, and then go back to your workflow. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify that the new video details are captured correctly.

Check your Facebook page to see if the new post has been created. The post should include the video title and a link to the YouTube video. This confirms that the integration between YouTube and Facebook through Pabbly Connect is working as intended.

5. Finalizing the Integration Settings

After successfully testing your automation, you can finalize the settings in Pabbly Connect. Adjust the polling time for the trigger if needed. By default, YouTube checks for new videos every 10 minutes, but you can customize this according to your preferences.

Once everything is set, your automation is complete! Now, every time you upload a new video to your YouTube channel, it will automatically be shared on your Facebook page, keeping your audience engaged across both platforms.

Conclusion

Using Pabbly Connect allows you to automate sharing your YouTube videos on your Facebook page easily. This integration saves time and enhances your social media engagement, ensuring that your audience is always updated with your latest content.
