Use the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button in Pabbly Connect. Navigate to the Facebook Lead Ads Testing Tool. Submit a test lead through the selected form.

Once you submit the form with test details, return to Pabbly Connect to check if the response has been captured successfully. This confirms that the trigger is working as expected.

5. Setting Up the Action to Create Contacts in ActiveCampaign

With the trigger successfully set, the next step is to configure the action to add the captured leads to ActiveCampaign. Select ‘ActiveCampaign’ as the action application in Pabbly Connect and choose the action event as ‘Create Contact’.

Click on the ‘Connect’ button to establish the connection with your ActiveCampaign account. You will need to provide the API URL and key, which can be found in your ActiveCampaign settings under the Developer section. Ensure to enter the URL without the HTTPS protocol.

Select ‘ActiveCampaign’ as the action application. Choose ‘Create Contact’ as the action event. Enter the API URL and key from ActiveCampaign settings.
