1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Integration

To create WooCommerce customers from Facebook Lead Ads, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. Start by opening your web browser and navigating to the Pabbly Connect website. If you don’t have an account, click on the ‘Sign Up for Free’ button to create one. This process only takes a couple of minutes and gives you 100 free tasks every month.

Once you have an account, log in to Pabbly Connect. You will be directed to the dashboard where you can create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button, name your workflow (e.g., ‘Create WooCommerce Customer from Facebook Lead Ads’), and select the appropriate folder to save your workflow. This initial setup is crucial for managing your automation effectively.

2. Configuring the Trigger with Facebook Lead Ads

In this step, you will configure the trigger for your workflow using Pabbly Connect. Click on the trigger application and search for ‘Facebook Lead Ads’. Select it and choose the trigger event as ‘New Lead Instant’. This setup allows Pabbly Connect to respond whenever a new lead is captured.

• Select ‘Facebook Lead Ads’ as the trigger application.
• Choose ‘New Lead Instant’ as the trigger event.
• Connect your Facebook account to Pabbly Connect.

After connecting, select the Facebook page where your lead ads are running. Ensure that your lead generation form is live. You will need to submit a sample lead to test the connection. This step is essential for Pabbly Connect to pull in the lead data correctly.

3. Generating a Sample Lead for Testing

To ensure that your trigger works correctly, you need to generate a sample lead. Use the Meta for Developers tool to create a dummy submission for your lead form. This is a critical step that allows Pabbly Connect to receive and process lead data accurately.

• Navigate to the Lead Ads RTU Debug Tool.
• Select your Facebook page and lead form.
• Fill in the dummy details and submit the form.

Once you submit the sample lead, return to Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This action will pull the details of the sample lead into your workflow, confirming that your trigger is set up correctly.

4. Setting Up the Action to Create WooCommerce Customers

Now that you have configured the trigger, it’s time to set up the action step in Pabbly Connect. Search for and select ‘WooCommerce’ as your action application. Choose ‘Add New Customer’ as the action event. This step enables Pabbly Connect to create a new customer in WooCommerce using the lead data.

To connect WooCommerce with Pabbly Connect, you will need your WooCommerce API credentials: the consumer key, consumer secret, and website URL. Navigate to WooCommerce settings in your WordPress dashboard, go to Advanced Settings, and then to REST API. Create a new key with read and write permissions, and copy the generated credentials back to Pabbly Connect.

5. Mapping Lead Data to WooCommerce Customer Fields

The final step is to map the lead data received from Facebook Lead Ads to the customer fields in WooCommerce. In Pabbly Connect, you will see fields for first name, last name, email, and phone number. Use the mapping feature to connect these fields to the respective data points from your lead.

Map the email address from the Facebook lead data to WooCommerce. Fill in the first and last name using the mapped data. Ensure all required fields are filled before saving.

Once you have mapped all necessary data, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This action will create a new customer in WooCommerce using the details from the Facebook lead, completing the integration process through Pabbly Connect.
