Published on Feb 28th, 2024

Integrating your favorite applications can save precious time and boost your online presence. If you want to share YouTube videos to your Facebook Business Page automatically, Zapier is the tool for the job. Zapier acts as a bridge between two or more apps, allowing them to communicate and perform automated tasks, known as Zaps. Here's a step-by-step guide on connecting Zapier to move YouTube videos to your Facebook Business Page.


Step 1: Create a Zapier Account


If you haven't already, sign up for a free account at Zapier. Once you have an account, log in to proceed.


Step 2: Make a New Zap


From your dashboard, click on the 'Make a Zap' button. Zaps are the automated workflows you create between apps.


Step 3: Set Up YouTube as the Trigger



  • Search for the YouTube app and select it as the trigger for your Zap.

  • Choose the trigger event, for example, 'New Video in Channel'.

  • Connect your YouTube account and select the specific channel you want to monitor for new videos.


Step 4: Choose Facebook Page as the Action



  • Now, search for 'Facebook Pages' in the action step.

  • Select it, and choose the action 'Create Page Video'.

  • Connect your Facebook Business Page account where you want to share your videos.


Step 5: Configure the Action



  • Set up the template, mapping fields from YouTube to corresponding fields on Facebook, such as the video URL, title, and description.

  • You can also customize the message that will accompany the video on your page.


Step 6: Test & Activate Your Zap



  • Test the Zap to ensure everything works as expected.

  • If successful, turn on the Zap, and it'll run in the background, automatically sharing new YouTube videos to your Facebook Business Page whenever they are uploaded.


By following these simple steps, you can streamline your social media management, keeping your audience engaged with fresh video content effortlessly.


Remember to monitor your Zaps' performance and make adjustments as necessary for the best online presence outcomes!
