3. Setting Up the Trigger with Facebook Lead Ads

To set up the trigger, select Facebook Lead Ads as your trigger application within Pabbly Connect. The trigger event you need to choose is ‘New Lead Instant’. This event will initiate the workflow whenever a new lead is generated.

Fill out the lead form with the necessary details like first name, last name, email, and phone number. After submitting the form, you should see a confirmation message indicating that your test lead was sent successfully.

Ensure all required fields are filled out correctly. Check Pabbly Connect to confirm that the lead details have been captured.
