Automation - post on Facebook group - send message via messenger

[haikus]

Hi. I would like to ask if I can do such automation with Pabbly Connect:

On a Facebook group I follow, someone wrote a post with the content, for example, "I'm looking for a website contractor. "
Is it possible to do such an automation that when someone uses the words "looking for" and "website" I will send them a message via messenger?

1. a post with certain keywords appears on a Facebook group
2. I send a message with already prepared content on his messenger

kind regards

Michał

1. a post with certain keywords appears on a Facebook group

You can use Filter for this purpose to ensure that the next steps in your workflow are executed only if the post contains specific keywords

2. I send a message with already prepared content on his messenger

What messenger are you referring to? If you mean Facebook Messenger, then unfortunately, that's currently not possible. However, if you are talking about posting a message on a Facebook Group, you can use the 'Post Message' action event.

I would like to use this automation to look for orders. I do not own this Facebook group - just a member.
I would like to somehow send him a message and if that is not possible - comment on his post.

Is this possible?

Unfortunately, the use case you are describing is not possible.

It appears that the connection for your Facebook Group which you are using is pretty old, so kindly make a new connection and then try again.

Thanks for looking into it.
I have tried the new connection but still the same response.

Namaste,

Thanks for your support.

I have already watched the video and followed the instructions.
Created a new connection but still the same issue.

And also this video is out of current UI on Facebook dashboard.

Please remove the Pabbly Connect app and re-install it in your Facebook Group.
