1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Facebook Leads

To send Facebook leads to Telegram automatically, you must first set up Pabbly Connect. Start by logging into your Pabbly Connect account. If you don’t have an account yet, you can create a free one in just two minutes. This account will allow you to access the automation features needed for this integration.

Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard and click on the blue button labeled ‘Create Workflow’. Here, you will need to provide a name for your workflow, such as ‘Send Facebook Leads to Telegram Channel’. After naming your workflow, click the ‘Create’ button to proceed.

2. Configuring the Trigger for Facebook Leads

In this step, you will configure the trigger that will initiate the workflow. Select ‘Facebook Lead Ads’ as the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. The event you want to choose is ‘New Lead’. This means that whenever a new lead is captured through your Facebook lead form, it will trigger the action to send that lead to Telegram.

• Select ‘Connect’ to establish a connection with your Facebook account.
• Click ‘Add New Connection’ and then ‘Connect with Facebook Lead Ads’.
• Authorize access to your Facebook account.

Once connected, you will see all the Facebook pages associated with your account. Select the relevant page where your lead form is located, such as ‘Ayurvedic Spa’. After selecting the page, choose the specific lead form you want to use for this automation. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to proceed.

3. Testing Lead Submission in Pabbly Connect

After setting up the Facebook Lead Ads trigger, it’s crucial to test the integration. You will need to create a sample lead submission. To do this, use the Facebook Lead Ads Testing Tool. Search for your page, select the form you configured, and fill it out with dummy data.

• Input sample data such as name, email, and phone number.
• Click ‘Next’ and then ‘Submit’ to create a test lead.

Once you submit the test lead, return to Pabbly Connect and check if the response is received. You should see the details of the test lead, confirming that the connection between Facebook and Pabbly Connect is working correctly.

4. Setting Up the Action to Send Leads to Telegram

With the trigger successfully configured and tested, the next step is to set up the action that sends the lead details to your Telegram channel. Select ‘Telegram’ as the action application in Pabbly Connect. The action event will be ‘Send a Text Message’.

Click on ‘Connect’ and then ‘Add New Connection’. You will need to obtain a token from the Telegram BotFather. Start a chat with BotFather on Telegram and create a new bot by typing ‘/newbot’. Follow the prompts to name your bot and set a username. Once created, copy the API token provided and paste it into Pabbly Connect.

5. Finalizing the Telegram Integration

After connecting your Telegram bot, you will need to specify the chat ID of the Telegram channel where you want to send the lead details. Ensure that your bot is added as a member of this channel and promoted to admin status for it to send messages.

Compose your message in Pabbly Connect for the Telegram channel. You can include static text like ‘Hello team members, a new lead has just been captured from our Facebook lead form’ and then map dynamic fields from the Facebook lead data such as name, email, and phone number. This way, each time a new lead is captured, the message will contain the relevant details automatically.

Once everything is set, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’. If all settings are correct, you should receive the message in your Telegram channel, confirming that the integration is working successfully.
