1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Facebook Leads

To get started with automating Slack notifications for new Facebook leads, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. This platform allows you to integrate multiple applications seamlessly. Once you log in to your Pabbly Connect account, you can create a new workflow by clicking on the ‘Create Workflow’ button.

After clicking on ‘Create Workflow’, you will be prompted to name your workflow. You can name it something like ‘Get Slack Notifications for New Facebook Leads’. Choose an appropriate folder for your workflow, then click on ‘Create’. This sets the stage for the integration process.

2. Selecting Trigger and Action in Pabbly Connect

In Pabbly Connect, you will see two boxes labeled as trigger and action. The trigger signifies an event that will initiate the workflow, while the action is what happens as a result. For this integration, select Facebook Lead Ads as the trigger application and Slack as the action application.

• Select Facebook Lead Ads as the trigger application.
• Choose ‘New Lead’ as the trigger event.
• Connect your Facebook account to Pabbly Connect.
• Authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Facebook Lead Ads.

Once connected, you will be able to see all the Facebook pages associated with your account. Select the page that contains the lead form you want to use. This ensures that every new lead from your Facebook Lead Ads will be captured by Pabbly Connect.

3. Testing Facebook Lead Ads with Pabbly Connect

After setting up the trigger, it’s essential to test the integration. Pabbly Connect provides a way to test the connection by simulating a lead submission. You can use the Facebook Lead Ads testing tool to submit a test lead.

• Open the Facebook Lead Ads testing tool.
• Select the lead form you are using.
• Submit a test lead with dummy data.
• Wait for Pabbly Connect to capture the lead data.

If the test is successful, Pabbly Connect will display the lead data captured from Facebook. This confirms that the connection between Facebook Lead Ads and Pabbly Connect is functioning correctly.

4. Connecting Slack to Pabbly Connect

Now that you have successfully set up the trigger, it’s time to connect Slack as the action application. In Pabbly Connect, select Slack and choose the action event as ‘Send Slack Channel Message’. This action will notify your team every time a new lead is captured.

After selecting Slack, you will need to connect your Slack account to Pabbly Connect. Click on ‘Add a New Connection’ and authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Slack account. Once connected, you can select the Slack channel where you want to send notifications.

5. Configuring Slack Notifications for New Leads

With Slack connected, you can now configure the message that will be sent to your team. You can create a message template that includes dynamic lead details captured from Facebook Lead Ads. This ensures that every notification contains relevant information for your team.

Compose a message like ‘Hello team, a new lead has just been captured from Facebook Lead Ads!’ Add placeholders for lead details such as name, email, and phone number. Map the captured lead data to the placeholders in your message.

Finally, save your configuration and send a test message to ensure everything is working properly. If successful, your team will receive notifications on Slack whenever a new lead is captured via Facebook Lead Ads, all thanks to the powerful integration capabilities of Pabbly Connect.

Conclusion

By using Pabbly Connect, you can effortlessly integrate Facebook Lead Ads with Slack for real-time notifications. This automation streamlines your lead management process and ensures your team is always informed about new leads.
