Once logged in, you will be directed to the dashboard where you can create a new workflow. This is where you will set up the connection between Facebook and Google Sheets using Pabbly Connect. Make sure to familiarize yourself with the interface to streamline the process.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In your Pabbly Connect account, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow something like “Track Facebook Posts” for easy identification. This will be the core of your automation process.

Next, you will need to set the trigger application. In this case, choose Facebook Pages as the trigger application. After selecting it, you will need to choose the event type, which will be ‘New Post’. This tells Pabbly Connect to look for new posts on your specified Facebook page.

  • Click on the ‘Connect’ option to link your Facebook account.
  • Select ‘Add New Connection’ and authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Facebook account.
  • Choose the Facebook page you want to track from the dropdown menu.

Now, you are ready to test the connection. Create a new post on your Facebook page and check if Pabbly Connect captures it successfully. This step is crucial to ensure that your workflow is set up correctly.

3. Testing the Facebook to Google Sheets Integration

After setting up the trigger, it’s time to test the integration. Create a new post on your Facebook page, ensuring it has a caption and an image. Once posted, return to Pabbly Connect and check if the post information is captured in the workflow.

If successful, you will see the details of the post displayed, including the caption and image link. This confirms that the connection between Facebook and Pabbly Connect is working properly. Now, you need to add an action step to send this data to Google Sheets.

  • Select Google Sheets as the action application.
  • Choose the event type as ‘Add Row’.
  • Connect your Google account to Pabbly Connect.

Map the data fields from the Facebook post to the corresponding columns in your Google Sheet. This ensures that every new post is logged correctly.

4. Finalizing the Setup in Pabbly Connect

To finalize your setup, you need to configure the Google Sheets action. In Pabbly Connect, select the specific spreadsheet and sheet where you want to store the Facebook post details. Ensure that you have created a sheet with the appropriate column headers like ‘Date’, ‘Caption’, and ‘Image Link’.

After mapping the fields, click on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button. This will send a test entry to your Google Sheet. Check your Google Sheets to confirm that the data appears correctly, which indicates that the integration is complete.

Once everything is set up, you can automate your workflow seamlessly. With Pabbly Connect, every new Facebook post will automatically be logged into your Google Sheets without any manual effort.
