2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

In Pabbly Connect, click the button in the top right corner that says ‘Create Workflow’. A dialog box will appear asking for a workflow name. Name your workflow something like ‘Facebook Lead Ads Lead in Google Sheets with Dates’.

• Select a folder to save your workflow.
• Click on the drop-down arrow to choose a specific folder.
• Click ‘Create’ to finalize your workflow.

After creating the workflow, you will see two sections: Trigger and Action. The trigger is the event that starts the automation, while the action is the response to that trigger. This setup is essential for the workflow to function correctly.

3. Setting Up the Trigger for Facebook Lead Ads

In this step, you will set up the trigger for your workflow. Click on the arrow under the Trigger section and select ‘Facebook Lead Ads’ as your trigger application. For the trigger event, choose ‘New Lead Instant’.

Next, click on ‘Connect’ to link Facebook Lead Ads to Pabbly Connect. Ensure you are logged into your Facebook account in a new tab for a seamless connection.

• Authorize Pabbly Connect to access your Facebook account.
• Select the Facebook page you want to connect.

After selecting the required options, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will help you check if Pabbly Connect successfully captures the lead data from Facebook.

4. Adding Action Steps to Capture Data in Google Sheets

After successfully setting up the trigger, it’s time to add action steps. First, select ‘Date/Time Formatter by Pabbly’ as your action application. For the action event, choose ‘Current Date’. This will help format the date when the lead is generated.

Click on ‘Connect’ and select the desired date format (e.g., DD/MM/YYYY). Then, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure you receive the current date correctly.

Now add another action step and select ‘Google Sheets’ as the action application. Choose the action event as ‘Add New Row’. Connect Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect and authorize access.

Select the spreadsheet where you want to save your leads and map the fields accordingly. This includes mapping the date, first name, last name, email, and phone number.

5. Testing the Integration and Finalizing the Setup

To test the integration, generate a test lead using the Facebook Lead Ads system tool. Fill in the required fields and submit the lead.

Once the test lead is submitted, return to your Pabbly Connect account and check if the response has been captured. You should see the lead details reflected in your workflow.

Open your Google Sheets to verify if the new lead record has been created. Check that the date of submission is correctly recorded. Repeat the test to confirm that the integration works consistently.

Once you confirm that everything is working, you have successfully created an automation between Facebook Lead Ads and Google Sheets using Pabbly Connect. This integration will save you time and streamline your lead management process.
