MySQL is a powerful database management system that is essential for automating lead capture processes. In this tutorial, we will explore how to use Make to integrate MySQL with Facebook lead ads effectively. This integration allows real estate agencies to manage leads efficiently.

Automation simplifies the process of capturing leads from Facebook ads directly into MySQL. By setting up this automation, you can ensure that every lead generated is stored in a systematic format, making it easy to manage and access.

2. Setting Up Facebook Lead Ads

To begin the integration, the first step is to set up your Facebook lead ads. You need to create a lead generation form that collects the necessary information such as name, email, phone number, and property preference. This step is crucial for ensuring that the right data is captured.

  • Create a Facebook page for your real estate agency.
  • Set up a lead generation campaign.
  • Design a lead form that includes fields for name, email, phone number, and property preference.

Once your lead ads are set up, you can move on to integrating them with MySQL using Make. This integration will automate the process of transferring lead data directly into your database.

3. Connecting MySQL with Make

To connect MySQL with Make, first, you need to log in to your Pabbly Connect account. If you don’t have an account yet, you can sign up for free. After logging in, navigate to the dashboard where you can create a new workflow.

Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ option and name it something relevant, like ‘Add Facebook Leads to MySQL Database’. After naming your workflow, you’ll need to select the trigger application, which in this case is Facebook lead ads.

  • Select the trigger event as ‘New Lead Instant’.
  • Connect your Facebook account to Make.
  • Choose the page and lead form you created earlier.

After setting up the trigger, you will need to test the connection to ensure everything is working properly. This is done by submitting a test lead through your Facebook lead form.

4. Testing the Integration

Once your Facebook lead ads are connected to Make, the next step is to test the integration. You will use the Meta for Developers tool to simulate a lead submission. This step is crucial to verify that the data flows correctly into MySQL.

In the Meta for Developers platform, select your page and the lead form, then submit a test lead. After submission, return to Pabbly Connect to see if the response is captured successfully. If the integration works, you will see the lead details displayed correctly.

Submit a test lead with valid details. Check for successful response in Pabbly Connect. Ensure all lead details are captured accurately.

Once confirmed, you can proceed to set up the action application, which is MySQL, to store the captured leads.

5. Inserting Leads into MySQL

After testing the integration, the final step is to configure MySQL as the action application in your workflow. Select the action event as ‘Insert Row’ to add the lead details into your MySQL database. using Pabbly Connect

You will need to connect to your MySQL database by entering the required details such as database username, password, host, and database name. Once the connection is established, select the table where you want to insert the lead data, typically named something like ‘Prime Property Leads’.

Map the lead details from the Facebook response to the corresponding fields in your MySQL table. Ensure all required fields are filled correctly. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify the insertion.

If everything is set up correctly, the lead data will be inserted into your MySQL database, allowing for easy management and follow-up by your sales team.
