How do I transfer Facebook video post links to Google Sheets?


Hi there,

At the risk of asking a newbie question, but I have the ZAP between my Facebook group and google sheets up and running. 
The thing I would like to have is the link of the post transfered to the google sheets. 
I can get the post ID, permalink etc and all those things, but for some reason I can't seem to find a URL linking me directly to the post itself. 

Thought behind this, I run a private group where people post live video's that I need to check, and via this way I can get an overview of who posted what, but a link from the google sheet directly to the post would be legend.
I suspect I am overlooking something, so if someone could give me a hint that would be awesome.

Thanx in advance

Hi @Just_AlphaCode 

Good question.

Are you able to recreate the desired link with a combo of static values and dynamic values?

e.g. “https://facebook.com/”[POST_ID]

Hey @Just_AlphaCode! Are you utilizing the “New Post” trigger or the “New Video” trigger? I wonder if they each offer different data to work with. That might be something to check. 

Otherwise, Troy has a great suggestion to try!
