In the Pabbly Connect dashboard, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. You will be prompted to name your workflow. Enter a descriptive name, such as ‘Notify Team on MS Teams for New LinkedIn Leads and Create Zoho CRM Contact’. Select a folder to save your workflow, then click on ‘Create’ to proceed.

After setting the trigger, you will need to select the lead form you wish to use. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure that the connection is established and the latest response is captured. This process helps in verifying that your integration is functioning correctly.

3. Mapping Data from LinkedIn to Zoho CRM

Once the trigger is set up, the next step in Pabbly Connect is to create a contact in Zoho CRM. Select ‘Zoho CRM’ as the action application and choose the action event as ‘Create Contact’. This step is crucial as it automates the process of adding new leads into your CRM system.

To connect your Zoho CRM account, you will need to provide your domain. This is typically found in the URL of your Zoho account. After entering the domain, click on ‘Save’ and grant the necessary permissions to Pabbly Connect. Once connected, you can start mapping the data from the lead response.

• Map fields such as first name, last name, email, and phone number from the LinkedIn lead response.
• Ensure that the data is dynamic by using the mapping feature in Pabbly Connect.
• Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify that a new contact is created in Zoho CRM.

By mapping the data correctly, you ensure that each new lead is accurately reflected in your CRM, streamlining your lead management process.

4. Notifying Your Team on Microsoft Teams

After successfully creating a contact in Zoho CRM, the next step is to notify your team on Microsoft Teams. In Pabbly Connect, select Microsoft Teams as another action application and choose the event ‘Send Message in Channel’. This ensures that your team is informed about new leads promptly.

Connect your Microsoft Teams account to Pabbly Connect by granting the necessary permissions. Once connected, select the team and channel where you want to send the notification. Then, customize the message to include relevant lead details, such as name, email, and phone number.

Map the message fields to include dynamic lead information. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to send a test message to your team. Verify that the message appears in the selected Microsoft Teams channel.

This integration ensures that your team stays updated with new opportunities, enhancing communication and collaboration within your organization.

5. Testing and Verifying the Integration

With the workflow set up in Pabbly Connect, it’s essential to test the entire process to ensure everything works seamlessly. Submit a new lead through your LinkedIn Lead Gen Form and wait for a few minutes to allow Pabbly Connect to capture the data.

After the waiting period, check both Zoho CRM and Microsoft Teams to verify that the new contact has been created and that your team received the notification. This final test confirms that the integration is functioning as intended, allowing you to manage leads efficiently.

In summary, by using Pabbly Connect, you can automate the process of capturing LinkedIn leads, creating contacts in Zoho CRM, and notifying your team on Microsoft Teams. This setup not only saves time but also helps in converting leads into paying clients effectively.
