1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Facebook Leads

To begin integrating Facebook leads into MySQL, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. This platform allows you to create automation without coding. Navigate to the Pabbly Connect website and sign in or create a new account if you haven’t already.

Once logged in, you will be directed to the dashboard. Here, you can create new workflows, which will be essential for connecting Facebook leads to your MySQL database. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and name your workflow, such as ‘Add Facebook Leads to MySQL Database’. Select a folder to save your workflow for better organization.

2. Trigger Setup with Facebook Lead Ads

In this step, you will set up the trigger for your workflow using Pabbly Connect. The trigger will be the event that initiates the workflow. Select ‘Facebook Lead Ads’ as your trigger application. Then, choose the event type as ‘New Lead Instant’ to ensure immediate capturing of leads.

• Select your Facebook page where the lead ads are running.
• Choose the lead generation form you created for collecting leads.

After setting these options, click on ‘Connect’. If you do not have an existing connection, you will need to create a new one by clicking ‘Add New Connection’. Once connected, you can test the connection to ensure it works properly.

3. Testing the Connection in Pabbly Connect

Next, you will need to test the connection you just set up in Pabbly Connect. To do this, you will submit a test lead through your Facebook lead form. This action will allow Pabbly Connect to capture the lead details for verification.

Access the ‘Meta for Developers’ platform and navigate to the lead ads testing tool. Select your page and the lead form, then submit a test lead. Once submitted, return to Pabbly Connect and click ‘Save and Send Test Request’. You should see the lead details captured successfully, confirming that your connection is operational.

4. Setting Up MySQL as the Action Application

With the trigger successfully set up, the next step is to configure MySQL as the action application in Pabbly Connect. Select ‘MySQL’ as your action application and choose the action event as ‘Insert Row’. This action will allow you to add the lead details into your MySQL database.

You will need to create a new connection to your MySQL database. Enter the necessary details such as database username, password, host, and database name. If you already have a connection, you can select it directly. After establishing the connection, select the table where you want to insert the lead data.

• Map the fields from the Facebook lead to the corresponding columns in your MySQL table.
• Ensure all required fields are filled in correctly before saving.

Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to test if the lead information is being added to your MySQL database as expected. If successful, you will see the lead information reflected in your database.

5. Finalizing the Automation Process

After successfully testing the MySQL action, you can finalize your automation process in Pabbly Connect. This setup ensures that every time a new lead is generated through your Facebook lead ads, their details are automatically added to your MySQL database.

To verify the automation, submit another test lead using your Facebook lead form. Check your MySQL database to confirm that the new lead details have been recorded. This process will streamline your lead management, allowing for efficient follow-ups and organization of potential clients.

With this automation, you can focus on converting leads into customers, as all data will be systematically stored in your MySQL database without manual entry. The integration provided by Pabbly Connect is a powerful tool for any business looking to automate their lead management.
