1. Accessing Pabbly Connect for Facebook Lead Ads Integration

To begin with, you need to access Pabbly Connect. This powerful integration tool allows you to automate the process of adding Facebook Lead Ads leads into Google Sheets without any repetition. Start by visiting the Pabbly Connect website and signing up for an account if you haven’t already.

After signing in, navigate to the dashboard where you can create your workflow. This is where you will set up the connection between Facebook Lead Ads and Google Sheets. Follow these steps to get started:

• Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button.
• Name your workflow according to your objective.
• Select a folder to save your workflow.

Once you have created your workflow, you are ready to set up the trigger for Facebook Lead Ads.

2. Setting Up the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will configure the trigger to capture new leads from Facebook Lead Ads. The trigger is essential as it initiates the workflow whenever a new lead is generated. In Pabbly Connect, select Facebook Lead Ads as your trigger application.

Next, you will choose the trigger event. This event should be set to ‘New Lead Instant’. After selecting this, connect your Facebook account to Pabbly Connect. Make sure you have the necessary permissions to access your Facebook lead data. Follow these steps:

• Click on ‘Connect’ to link your Facebook account.
• Select the Facebook page associated with your lead ads.
• Choose the lead generation form you wish to use.

After configuring these settings, you will be prompted to test the connection. Ensure your lead generation form is live to create a sample submission.

3. Creating a Sample Submission for Testing

To ensure everything is working correctly, you need to create a sample lead submission. This step is crucial for testing the integration between Facebook Lead Ads and Pabbly Connect. Head over to the Facebook Developer Tools and utilize the Lead Ads Testing Tool.

Follow these steps to generate a sample lead:

Open the Lead Ads Testing Tool. Select your Facebook page and lead form. Fill in the required fields such as first name, last name, email, phone number, and city.

Once you submit the form, return to Pabbly Connect to confirm that the sample lead data has been received successfully. This will help validate that your trigger is functioning as expected.

4. Setting Up the Action in Google Sheets

Now that you have tested the trigger, it’s time to set up the action that will add the lead details to Google Sheets. In Pabbly Connect, select Google Sheets as your action application. The action event should be set to ‘Lookup Spreadsheet Row V2’. This will allow you to check if the lead already exists in your Google Sheet before adding it.

Connect your Google Sheets account to Pabbly Connect and select the spreadsheet where you want to store your leads. You will need to specify the lookup value, which will be the email address of the lead you received from Facebook Lead Ads. Here’s how to do it:

Select the spreadsheet containing your leads. Map the email address from the lead data as the lookup value. Specify the column in Google Sheets where the email addresses are stored.

After completing these steps, save the action and test it to ensure that it correctly identifies whether the lead already exists.

5. Filtering Unique Leads and Adding to Google Sheets

To avoid adding duplicate leads, you need to set up a filter in Pabbly Connect. This filter will check the result from the previous action. If the result indicates that the lead does not exist, it will allow the next step to proceed, adding the lead to Google Sheets.

Set up the filter by selecting ‘Filter by Pabbly’ and configuring it to check for the condition of ‘Data Not Found’. If this condition is met, it means the lead is unique, and you can proceed to add it. Follow these steps:

Select the result from the Google Sheets step. Set the filter condition to equal ‘Data Not Found’. Test the filter to ensure it works correctly.

If the filter passes, the final action will be to add the lead details into Google Sheets. Select ‘Add New Row’ in Google Sheets as your action event, map all the necessary fields, and test the action to confirm successful integration.
