1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start the process of uploading YouTube videos from new Facebook posts, you need to access Pabbly Connect. Begin by typing the URL Pabbly.com/connect in your web browser. This will take you to the Pabbly Connect landing page where you can sign in or sign up.

If you are a new user, click on the ‘Sign Up for Free’ button. Existing users can simply click on ‘Sign In’. Upon signing up, you will receive 100 free tasks to explore the platform. Once logged in, you will reach the applications page where you can start your integration process using Pabbly Connect.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After accessing Pabbly Connect, you will see a blue button labeled ‘Create Workflow’. Click on this button to initiate a new workflow. A dialog box will prompt you to name your workflow. Since our goal is to upload YouTube videos for new posts on Facebook, name it accordingly.

Click on ‘Create’ to proceed. You will be directed to a new page displaying two essential components: Trigger and Action. The trigger application will be Facebook Pages, and the action application will be YouTube. This setup allows Pabbly Connect to automate the process where a new Facebook post triggers a video upload to YouTube.

3. Setting Up the Facebook Trigger

In this step, you will configure the trigger for your workflow using Pabbly Connect. Select Facebook Pages as your trigger application. The trigger event will be ‘New Post’, which means every time a new post is made on your specified Facebook page, Pabbly Connect will initiate the workflow.

Click on ‘Connect’ to link your Facebook account. You will be prompted to authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Facebook Pages. After successful authorization, select the Facebook page you want to monitor for new posts. Set the number of posts to retrieve in each request, which can be up to 100, though for this example, we will set it to 2. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify the connection.

• Select Facebook Pages as the trigger application.
• Choose ‘New Post’ as the trigger event.
• Authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Facebook account.

After testing the request, you should receive a response containing details about the latest post, including the media source URL, which will be crucial for the next steps in this integration.

4. Uploading the Video to YouTube

Now that the trigger is set up, the next step is to upload the video to YouTube using Pabbly Connect. Select YouTube as the action application and choose the action event ‘Upload Video’. Click on ‘Connect’ to link your YouTube account with Pabbly Connect.

Once connected, you will need to map the data from the Facebook post to the YouTube upload fields. Enter the video title, description, and the media source URL obtained from the previous step. Additionally, for category ID, you will need to retrieve the education category ID by adding another action step to list video categories in YouTube.

• Select ‘Upload Video’ as the action event in YouTube.
• Map the video title and description from the Facebook post.
• Retrieve the category ID for education to classify the video correctly.

Once all fields are filled, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’. If successful, your video will be uploaded to YouTube automatically, demonstrating the power of Pabbly Connect in automating this integration.

5. Testing the Integration

With the setup complete, it’s crucial to test the integration to ensure everything works as expected. Go back to your Facebook page and create a new post with a video. Ensure the post is Pabbly and wait for Pabbly Connect to check for new data.

Since the trigger has a polling time of 10 minutes, you will need to wait for this duration before checking your YouTube channel for the newly uploaded video. After the wait, refresh your YouTube channel to confirm that the video has been uploaded successfully. This final check validates that the integration between Facebook and YouTube via Pabbly Connect is working flawlessly.

In summary, this integration allows you to automate the process of uploading videos to YouTube whenever you post on Facebook, saving you time and effort.
