1. Accessing Pabbly Connect to Start Integration

To post RSS feed data to Facebook, start by accessing Pabbly Connect. Go to the address bar and type in Pabbly.com/connect. You will be redirected to the Pabbly Connect homepage where you can either sign in or sign up.

If you already have an account, click on ‘Sign In’. If not, choose ‘Sign Up’ to create a new account. The signup process is quick and provides you with 100 free tasks every month. After signing in, click on ‘Access Now’ for Pabbly Connect.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once inside Pabbly Connect, create a new workflow by clicking on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow something descriptive, like ‘Post RSS Feeds to Facebook’. This naming helps in identifying the automation later on.

After naming your workflow, you will see two sections: Trigger and Action. The Trigger section is where you define the event that starts the workflow. In this case, select ‘RSS by Pabbly’ as the trigger app and choose ‘New Item in Feed’ as the trigger event.

3. Setting Up the RSS Feed in Pabbly Connect

In the Trigger setup, connect your RSS feed by pasting the RSS feed URL into the designated field. This URL can be obtained from the website you want to pull data from. After pasting the URL, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to check if the feed is working correctly.

Once the test is successful, you will see the latest item from the feed. Note that Pabbly Connect runs this automation every eight hours, meaning it will check for new items in the RSS feed at that interval.

4. Connecting Facebook to Pabbly Connect

Next, you need to set up the Action step by selecting ‘Facebook Pages’ as your action app. Choose ‘Create Page Post’ as the action event. Click on ‘Connect’ to link your Facebook account with Pabbly Connect.

You will be prompted to authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Facebook account. Make sure to grant the required permissions for the automation to work effectively. After connecting, select the Facebook page where you want to post the RSS feed data.

5. Mapping RSS Feed Data to Facebook Post

Now, you need to map the data from the RSS feed to your Facebook post. In the message field, use the mapping feature to insert the title and link of the RSS feed item. This allows Pabbly Connect to dynamically fetch the latest title and link from the feed for each post.

After mapping the data, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. If everything is set up correctly, a new post will appear on your selected Facebook page with the RSS feed title and link. Refresh your Facebook page to see the new post in action!

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we demonstrated how to use Pabbly Connect to automate posting RSS feed data to Facebook. By following these steps, you can easily keep your Facebook page updated with the latest content from your favorite RSS feeds.
