1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Facebook Leads

To begin the integration of Facebook leads into Google Sheets, you will use Pabbly Connect as the automation platform. First, access your Pabbly Connect dashboard by signing in. If you are a new user, you can sign up for free and get 100 tasks every month.

Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard and click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow something descriptive, such as ‘Add Facebook Leads to Google Sheets for Fisheries and Aquaculture Business’. This will help you identify the workflow later.


2. Defining the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will set up the trigger application in Pabbly Connect. The trigger is essential as it determines when the automation will execute. Select ‘Facebook Lead Ads’ as your trigger application and choose the trigger event as ‘New Lead Instant’. This means that every time a new lead is captured, the following actions will occur.

Now, establish the connection between Facebook Lead Ads and Pabbly Connect. Click on the ‘Connect’ button and authorize the connection. Once connected, you will need to specify the Facebook page and the lead form associated with it. Here’s how to do it:

  • Select your Facebook page, e.g., Splash Haven Aquaculture.
  • Choose the lead form, such as Splash Haven Aquaculture Contact Form.

After setting these details, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure everything is working correctly.


3. Testing the Trigger with a Test Lead

After configuring the trigger, it’s crucial to test it to ensure that Pabbly Connect captures the lead information correctly. You will need to generate a test lead using the Meta for Developers tool. This step ensures that your connection is functioning as expected.

Follow these steps to create a test lead:

  • Access the Meta for Developers page and navigate to the Lead Ads Testing Tool.
  • Select your Facebook page and the lead form.
  • Fill out the form with sample lead details and click ‘Submit’.

Once the test lead is submitted, return to Pabbly Connect to check if the lead details have been captured successfully.


4. Setting Up Google Sheets as the Action Application

With the trigger successfully tested, the next step is to set up Google Sheets as the action application in Pabbly Connect. This action will ensure that every new lead captured is automatically added to your Google Sheets. Select ‘Google Sheets’ as your action application and choose the action event as ‘Add New Row’.

To connect Google Sheets to Pabbly Connect, click ‘Connect’ and authorize access to your Google account. After successful authorization, select the spreadsheet you created (e.g., Facebook Leads New) and specify the sheet where you want the data to be added (usually it defaults to Sheet1).

Now, you will need to map the fields from the Facebook lead to the Google Sheet columns. Mapping is crucial as it ensures that the right data goes into the corresponding columns. Map the lead email, name, and phone number from the previous step.


5. Finalizing the Automation in Pabbly Connect

After mapping the fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ in Pabbly Connect. This will send a test entry to your Google Sheets. Check your Google Sheet to confirm that the lead details have been added correctly in a new row.

With everything set up, your automation is now complete. Whenever you receive a new lead through Facebook Lead Ads, Pabbly Connect will automatically add the lead details to your Google Sheets, streamlining your lead management process for your fisheries and aquaculture business.
