Once on the landing page, you will see options to sign in or sign up. If you are a new user, click on the ‘Sign Up for Free’ button to create an account. Existing users can simply log in. After logging in, you will be directed to the Pabbly Connect dashboard, where you can begin creating your workflow.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will create a new workflow in Pabbly Connect that will facilitate the integration between Facebook and Google Sheets. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located at the top right corner of your dashboard.

• Choose a name for your workflow, such as ‘Sync Social Media Engagement Data from Facebook to Google Sheets’.
• Select the folder where you want to save your workflow.
• Choose between the new beta method or the classic method for your workflow setup.

After completing these steps, click on ‘Create’. This will open a new workflow with two main sections: the trigger and the action. The trigger will capture new comments from Facebook, while the action will send this data to Google Sheets.

3. Setting Up Facebook as the Trigger Application

Now, it’s time to set up Facebook as the trigger application in your Pabbly Connect workflow. In the trigger section, select ‘Facebook Pages’ as your application. Then, choose the event ‘New Comment’ to capture comments made on your Facebook posts.

Click on the ‘Connect’ button to establish the connection with Facebook. You will be prompted to log into your Facebook account if you haven’t done so already. Allow the necessary permissions for Pabbly Connect to access your Facebook pages.

4. Configuring Google Sheets as the Action Application

After setting up the trigger, the next step is to configure Google Sheets as the action application in Pabbly Connect. In the action section, select ‘Google Sheets’ and choose the event ‘Add New Row’.

• Click on ‘Connect’ and sign in with your Google account.
• Select the spreadsheet where you want to store the Facebook comments.
• Map the fields for username and comment to the respective columns in your Google Sheet.

Once you have mapped the fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will ensure that the integration works correctly and that data from Facebook is being sent to Google Sheets.

5. Testing the Integration

With both the trigger and action configured, it’s time to test the integration between Facebook and Google Sheets using Pabbly Connect. To do this, go back to your Facebook page and add a new comment on a post.

After posting the comment, return to your Pabbly Connect workflow and check the trigger section. You should see that the new comment has been captured successfully. If everything is set up correctly, this comment will automatically populate in your Google Sheets under the specified columns.
