1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To get started with your automation, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. This platform allows you to integrate various applications seamlessly. Begin by opening a new tab in your browser and searching for ‘Pabbly Connect’.

Once on the Pabbly Connect landing page, you have two options: either sign in if you already have an account or click on the ‘Sign Up for Free’ button. Signing up takes only a couple of minutes, and you will receive a hundred tasks free each month.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After logging into Pabbly Connect, navigate to the dashboard where you can create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. This opens a window where you can name your workflow. For this integration, name it something like ‘Email Alert for New Facebook Leads’.

• Choose a folder to save your workflow.
• Select the appropriate folder where you want to keep this workflow.
• Click on ‘Create’ to proceed.

Now, you will see two main sections: Trigger and Action. The Trigger is what starts the workflow, and the Action is what happens as a result. Select Facebook Lead Ads as your trigger application.

3. Setting Up the Trigger for Facebook Lead Ads

In Pabbly Connect, once you’ve selected Facebook Lead Ads, you need to specify the Trigger Event. Choose ‘New Lead Instant’ from the dropdown. After that, click on ‘Connect’ to establish the connection with your Facebook account.

Upon successful connection, you will need to select your Facebook page and lead generation form. Ensure your lead generation form is live before proceeding. Select the page associated with your ad campaign and the lead form you wish to use.

• Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to initiate the webhook response.
• Create a sample submission using the lead form.
• Ensure the lead generation form is active while testing.

After saving the test request, you will receive a webhook response containing the details of the lead submitted. This response is essential for mapping data in the next steps.

4. Setting Up the Action to Send Email via Gmail

The next step in Pabbly Connect is to set up the Action, which in this case is Gmail. Select Gmail as your action application and choose the action event as ‘Send Email’. Click on ‘Connect’ and grant the necessary permissions to allow Pabbly Connect to send emails on your behalf.

Once connected, you will need to fill in the recipient email address, which will be your own Gmail address. Set the email subject to ‘New Lead Received’ and choose the content type as plain text. In the email body, include a message that incorporates the lead details, such as name, email, phone number, and city.

Map the fields from the Facebook Lead Ads response to the email content. Use dynamic mapping to ensure real-time updates for each new lead. Test the email to confirm successful setup.

After completing these steps, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to finalize the setup. You should receive a test email with the lead details shortly after.

5. Testing the Integration in Real Time

To ensure everything works correctly, create a new lead using your Facebook lead generation form. Fill in the required fields and submit the form. Once submitted, check your Gmail account for the email alert.

If everything is set up correctly, you will receive an email with the subject ‘New Lead Received’ containing all the details of the lead you just submitted. This confirms that your Pabbly Connect integration between Facebook Lead Ads and Gmail is functioning as intended.

By following these steps, you will never miss another lead from your Facebook ads. You’ve successfully automated the process of receiving email alerts for new leads using Pabbly Connect.
