Batch download Facebook Reels videos from Google Sheets to Google Drive

This template helps you batch download Facebook Reels videos from a Google Sheets list into Google Drive in an organized way.

How it works

Reads rows from the Tasks sheet where status = PENDING and facebook_reels_url is not empty.

Processes each Facebook Reels URL to get video metadata and a downloadable video file.

Downloads the video and uploads it to Google Drive into a daily subfolder named YYYY-MM-DD under your chosen parent folder.

Generates a shareable link for the uploaded file.

Updates the same row in Google Sheets with:

title (video title)

author (creator or page name)

drive_link (Google Drive link)

status (DONE on success / ERROR on failure)

error_message (only when failed)

What you need to set up

Google Drive connection and a parent folder for daily archives

A Google Sheet with these columns (header names must match):

facebook_reels_url, status, title, author, drive_link, error_message

Google Sheets template (recommended)
