1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Integration

To integrate Facebook Lead Ads with Slack, you will first need to access Pabbly Connect. Start by opening a new tab and searching for Pabbly Connect at Pabbly.com/connect. This platform is designed for seamless automation and integration of various applications.

If you don’t have an account, click on the ‘Sign Up for Free’ button. After signing up, you will get access to 100 free tasks every month. If you already have an account, simply log in to access the dashboard where you can create your workflow.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

Once logged into Pabbly Connect, you will see the dashboard. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to start building your automation. A pop-up will appear, prompting you to name your workflow. For this integration, name it something like ‘Slack Notifications for Facebook Leads’.

• Select a folder to save your workflow.
• Choose the folder that corresponds to Facebook Lead Ads.

After naming your workflow and selecting the appropriate folder, click on ‘Create’. You will be directed to the workflow setup page, where you can define the trigger and action for your automation.

3. Setting Up Trigger for Facebook Lead Ads

The first step in your workflow is to set up the trigger, which in this case will be Facebook Lead Ads. Select ‘Facebook Lead Ads’ as your trigger application in Pabbly Connect. You will then need to specify the trigger event, which is ‘New Lead Instant’.

To connect your Facebook account, click on ‘Connect’ and then ‘Add New Connection’. Follow the prompts to allow Pabbly Connect access to your Facebook account. Once connected, select the Facebook page and the lead generation form you want to use. Make sure that the lead generation form is live before proceeding.

4. Setting Up Action to Send Notifications on Slack

After successfully setting up the trigger, the next step is to configure the action. In this case, you will choose Slack as your action application within Pabbly Connect. Set the action event to ‘Send Channel Message’.

• Connect your Slack account by clicking on ‘Connect’ and then ‘Add New Connection’.
• Select the channel where you want to send notifications.

Compose your message by including dynamic fields from the Facebook lead response. This ensures that each time a new lead is captured, the notification will contain the latest lead information, such as name, email, phone number, and city.

5. Testing the Integration

Once you have set up both the trigger and action, it’s essential to test your integration to ensure it works correctly. In Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Save and Send Test’ button. This will send a test notification to your selected Slack channel.

To verify the functionality, check your Slack channel for the notification message. If the message appears with the correct lead details, your integration is successful. This means that every time you receive a new lead from Facebook Lead Ads, a notification will automatically be sent to your Slack channel.

Conclusion

Integrating Facebook Lead Ads with Slack using Pabbly Connect streamlines your lead management process. By following the steps outlined in this tutorial, you can automate notifications and ensure you never miss a lead again.
