1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Facebook Integration

To start sharing a post from one Facebook page to another, you need to access Pabbly Connect. This platform allows you to automate the sharing process seamlessly. First, sign up for a free account on Pabbly Connect by following the link provided in the description.

Once logged in, navigate to your dashboard and click on ‘Create Workflow’. Here, you can name your workflow, for example, ‘Facebook Pages Automation’. After naming it, click on ‘Create’ to proceed with setting up your automation.

2. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

The next step involves setting up the trigger in Pabbly Connect. In the trigger window, search for and select ‘Facebook Pages’ as your app. Choose the ‘New Post’ event from the dropdown menu to capture new posts from your primary Facebook page.

• Select ‘Facebook Pages’ in the trigger app.
• Choose ‘New Post’ as the trigger event.
• Connect your Facebook account by clicking ‘Connect’.

After connecting, select the specific Facebook page from which you want to share posts. Enter the number of posts you wish to retrieve; for instance, enter ‘1’ to get the most recent post. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure the connection is established successfully.

3. Setting Up the Action to Share Posts

Now that the trigger is set up, you will configure the action in Pabbly Connect. Scroll to the action window and select ‘Facebook Pages’ again. This time, choose an appropriate action event based on the type of post you want to share.

• For image posts, select ‘Create Page Photo’.
• For video posts, select ‘Create Page Video’.
• For text posts, select ‘Create Page Post’.

After selecting the action event, connect your Facebook account again, if necessary. Then, choose the page where you want to share the post. Map the necessary fields, such as the image URL and description, from the data received in the trigger step. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify that the post is shared successfully on the target page.

4. Handling Different Types of Posts with Pabbly Connect

In this section, we will set up conditions for handling different post types in Pabbly Connect. You will create routes for image, video, and text posts. This ensures that the correct action is taken based on the post type.

To create routes, select ‘Router’ in the action step. By default, it will create two routes; click the ‘Add Route’ button to create a third one. Rename the routes to reflect the post types: ‘Post with Images’, ‘Post with Video’, and ‘Text Post’. Set conditions for each route based on the attachment data type received from the trigger.

For example, if the attachment data type is equal to ‘photo’, the workflow will follow the ‘Post with Images’ route. Similarly, set conditions for videos and text posts. This way, Pabbly Connect can intelligently direct the workflow based on the content type shared.

5. Final Testing and Automation Confirmation

After setting up all routes and actions in Pabbly Connect, it’s crucial to test the automation. Share a new post on your primary Facebook page and monitor the target page to see if the post appears as expected. This confirms that the automation is functioning correctly.

Wait for a few minutes, as the trigger may take some time to respond. After refreshing the target page, you should see the shared post with the same content and media. This confirms that the integration between Facebook pages via Pabbly Connect is successful.

Additionally, if you want to share posts on multiple pages, you can keep adding new action steps for each page in your workflow, allowing for a streamlined posting process across all your Facebook pages.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we explored how to share a post from one Facebook page to another using Pabbly Connect. By setting up triggers and actions, you can automate the process of sharing posts seamlessly across multiple pages. This not only saves time but also ensures consistent content distribution.
