1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Automation

To start automating your email responses to new Facebook leads, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. Simply sign in or sign up if you are a new user. This process is quick and grants you 100 free tasks to explore the software.

Once logged in, you will be directed to the dashboard where you can create your workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button on the right side to begin the integration setup.

2. Setting Up Your Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will name your workflow according to your objective. For instance, you might name it ‘Send Email for New Facebook Leads’. After naming it, click on ‘Create’ to proceed.

• Select the trigger application as Facebook Lead Ads.
• Choose the trigger event as New Lead Instant.
• Connect your Facebook Lead Ads account to Pabbly Connect.

After connecting, you will need to select the Facebook page and the lead generation form associated with it. This setup ensures that every new lead captured through Facebook will trigger the email automation.

3. Testing Your Facebook Lead Ads Integration

Once you’ve set up your trigger, it’s important to test the integration. To do this, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This action will prompt Pabbly Connect to wait for a webhook response.

Next, you will need to submit a test lead using the Metaphor Developers page. Here’s how to do it:

• Select your Facebook page in the Metaphor tool.
• Fill out the lead form with dummy data.
• Submit the form to generate a test lead.

After submitting the form, check back in Pabbly Connect to see if the webhook has received the lead data successfully. This step is crucial to confirm that your integration is functioning correctly.

4. Configuring Gmail to Send Emails to New Leads

With your trigger successfully set up, the next step is to configure the action application, which in this case is Gmail. You will select ‘Send Email’ as the action event.

Click on ‘Connect’ to link your Gmail account with Pabbly Connect. After authorizing the connection, you will need to fill in the required fields for sending the email:

Recipient’s email address (mapped from the lead data). Sender’s name and email subject. Email content including a welcome message.

Once all fields are filled out, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to send a test email. Check the recipient’s inbox to confirm that the email has been received successfully.

5. Finalizing Your Pabbly Connect Integration

After testing, you can finalize your workflow. Make sure to delete any previous test leads in the Metaphor tool and refresh the page to ensure a clean slate.

Repeat the lead submission process to see the integration in action. Each new lead should now receive an automated email response. This confirms that your integration using Pabbly Connect is successful and operational.
