5. Testing the Integration to Ensure Functionality

Now that your workflow is set up, it’s crucial to test the integration to ensure everything works smoothly. Create a new post on your selected Facebook page with a caption and an image. After posting, return to Pabbly Connect to check if the new post data has been captured successfully.

If the test is successful, you will see the data from your Facebook post reflected in Pabbly Connect. Finally, check your Pinterest account to confirm that the new pin has been created with the correct title and image. This step is essential to validate that your automation is functioning as intended.
