1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start creating Google Contacts from Facebook Lead Ads, first access Pabbly Connect. This platform allows you to integrate various applications seamlessly. Begin by visiting the Pabbly Connect homepage and signing up for an account if you are a new user or logging in if you already have an account.

Once logged in, you will see a dashboard displaying all your applications. To create a new workflow, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button located at the top right corner. You can name your workflow as ‘Create Google Contacts from Facebook Lead Ads and Send Confirmation Email’ and choose a folder for organization.

2. Setting Up the Trigger with Facebook Lead Ads

In this step, you will set up the trigger for your workflow using Pabbly Connect. Select ‘Facebook Lead Ads’ as your trigger application. The trigger event should be set to ‘New Lead Instant’, which captures leads generated from your Facebook ads immediately.

• Choose ‘Add New Connection’ to connect your Facebook Lead Ads account.
• Authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Facebook account.
• Select your Facebook page and the lead form you want to use.

After setting up the connection, you will need to test the trigger by generating a test lead. This can be done by going to the Meta for Developers site and using the Leads Test Tool to create a dummy lead. Once the test lead is submitted, check Pabbly Connect to ensure the trigger has been set up correctly.

3. Creating Google Contacts with Pabbly Connect

Next, you will configure the action step to create a Google Contact using Pabbly Connect. Select ‘Google Contacts’ as your action application and choose the action event as ‘Create Contact’. This will ensure that every time a new lead is captured, their information is automatically added to your Google Contacts.

To connect Google Contacts with Pabbly Connect, click on ‘Add New Connection’ and sign in with your Google account. Grant the necessary permissions for Pabbly Connect to manage your contacts. Once connected, you will need to map the fields from the Facebook lead to the Google Contacts fields like first name, last name, and email.

• Map the lead’s first name to the first name field.
• Map the lead’s last name to the last name field.
• Map the lead’s email address to the email field.

After mapping all the required fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to confirm that the contact has been created successfully in your Google Contacts. You can refresh your Google Contacts page to verify the new contact.

4. Sending Confirmation Email via Gmail

The final step involves sending a confirmation email to the new lead using Gmail through Pabbly Connect. Select ‘Gmail’ as your action application and choose the action event as ‘Send Email V2’. This will allow you to send a personalized email to the lead after their details have been added to Google Contacts.

Connect your Gmail account by clicking on ‘Add New Connection’ and authorizing Pabbly Connect to send emails on your behalf. Once connected, you will need to fill in the recipient’s email address, which should be mapped from the lead’s email captured earlier. Additionally, add a subject line and the email content that welcomes the lead.

Use a subject like ‘Welcome to Star Sports Training Center’. Personalize the email body with the lead’s name and details. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to send the email.

After sending the email, check the lead’s inbox to confirm that they have received the welcome message successfully.

5. Testing the Automation Workflow

Finally, it’s crucial to test your entire automation workflow set up with Pabbly Connect. To do this, generate another test lead using the Facebook Lead Ads Testing Tool. Ensure that you delete the previous test lead to avoid conflicts.

After generating the new test lead, monitor Pabbly Connect to see if it captures the lead and creates a new contact in Google Contacts. Additionally, verify that the confirmation email is sent to the new lead’s email address. This end-to-end testing will confirm the effectiveness of your automation.

Once you have validated that everything works as expected, you can rely on this automation to manage your leads efficiently. With Pabbly Connect, you can streamline the process of converting leads into contacts and sending them important information without any manual effort.
