1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To start automating the process of adding Facebook leads to ActiveCampaign as contacts, first, access Pabbly Connect. Simply type the URL Pabbly.com/connect into your browser. This platform allows seamless integration between various applications without needing coding skills.

On the Pabbly Connect homepage, you will see options to sign in or sign up for free. New users should click on the ‘Sign Up for Free’ button to create an account. Existing users can directly sign in. Once logged in, you will have access to the dashboard where you can create workflows.

2. Creating a New Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After logging into Pabbly Connect, navigate to the dashboard and click on the ‘Create Workflow’ option in the top right corner. A dialog box will appear prompting you to name your workflow. Enter a name like ‘Add Facebook Leads to ActiveCampaign as Contacts’ and select a folder to save it in.

• Click on ‘Create’ to begin.
• You will see two windows: one for the trigger and one for the action.

Here, the trigger is the event that starts the workflow, and the action is what happens as a result. Select ‘Facebook Lead Ads’ as the trigger application and ‘ActiveCampaign’ as the action application.

3. Configuring 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 the trigger application. The next step is to choose the trigger event, which should be ‘New Lead Instant’. This ensures that the workflow starts as soon as a new lead is generated.

• Click on ‘Connect’ and select ‘Add New Connection’ to link your Facebook account.
• Authorize the connection, and once successful, select the Facebook page and lead form you want to use.

After selecting the page and form, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This action will wait for a webhook response, which means you need to perform a test submission through your Facebook lead form to capture the data.

4. Mapping Data to ActiveCampaign

Once you have successfully configured the trigger in Pabbly Connect, the next step is to set up the action by selecting ‘ActiveCampaign’. Choose the action event as ‘Create Contact’. Click on ‘Connect’ and then ‘Add New Connection’ to link your ActiveCampaign account.

You will need to enter your ActiveCampaign API URL and key. Retrieve these details from your ActiveCampaign account settings under the developer section. Make sure to enter the URL without the HTTPS protocol.

Copy the API URL and paste it into Pabbly Connect. Copy the API key and enter it in the designated field.

After successfully connecting, map the data fields from the Facebook lead response to the ActiveCampaign contact fields. This includes mapping the email, first name, last name, and phone number.

5. Testing the Integration and Finalizing

With your mappings complete, it’s time to test the integration using Pabbly Connect. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to send the data to ActiveCampaign. Check your ActiveCampaign account to confirm that the new contact has been successfully added with the details you provided.

If the test is successful, you will see the new contact listed in your ActiveCampaign contacts. This means your workflow is now fully operational. From now on, every time a new lead is generated through your Facebook lead ads, it will automatically be added as a contact in ActiveCampaign.

In summary, using Pabbly Connect allows you to automate the process of adding Facebook leads to ActiveCampaign effortlessly. This integration streamlines your lead management and ensures timely follow-up with potential customers.
