1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Facebook Leads

To add Facebook leads to your MySQL database, you need to start by setting up Pabbly Connect. This platform enables you to automate the process of capturing leads from Facebook Lead Ads and inserting them into your MySQL database. First, sign up for a free account on Pabbly Connect and log into your dashboard.

Once logged in, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow something descriptive, like ‘Facebook Leads to MySQL’. This will help you identify the workflow later. After naming the workflow, click on the ‘Create’ button to proceed.

2. Connecting Facebook Lead Ads to Pabbly Connect

The next step involves connecting your Facebook Lead Ads account to Pabbly Connect. In the trigger window, search for ‘Facebook Lead Ads’ and select it. Choose the trigger event as ‘New Lead Instant’. Click on the ‘Connect’ button to establish a connection with your Facebook account.

• Click on the ‘Connect with Facebook Lead Ads’ button.
• Select the Facebook page where your lead ads are running.
• Choose the lead generation form you want to track.

After selecting your lead generation form, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This action will prompt Pabbly Connect to wait for a webhook response from Facebook, indicating that a new lead has been generated.

3. Generating Test Leads Using Facebook Testing Tool

To test the integration, you need to generate a test lead. Use the Facebook Lead Ads Testing Tool for this purpose. Select the appropriate Facebook page and lead generation form that you previously configured in Pabbly Connect.

• Click on ‘Preview Form’ to open your lead generation form.
• Fill in the details for a demo user, including name, email, and mobile number.
• Submit the form to create a test lead.

After submitting the test lead, go back to Pabbly Connect. You should see the details of the newly generated lead captured in the trigger window. This confirms that the connection is working correctly.

4. Inserting Leads into MySQL Database

Once you’ve confirmed that Pabbly Connect is capturing leads, the next step is to insert these leads into your MySQL database. Scroll down to the action window and search for ‘MySQL’. Select it and choose the action event ‘Insert Row’.

Click on ‘Connect’ and then ‘Add New Connection’. Enter the required credentials for your MySQL database, including username, password, host, database ID, and port. After entering these details, click on ‘Save’ to establish the connection with Pabbly Connect.

Select the table in which you want to insert the data (e.g., Facebook Leads). Map the fields: Name, Email, and Mobile Number from the lead details received. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to add the lead to your database.

After executing this step, check your MySQL database to confirm that the lead details have been added successfully. This integration allows for seamless lead management.

5. Testing the Integration in Real-Time

To ensure everything is functioning, generate another test lead using the Facebook Lead Ads Testing Tool. After submitting the details, check your MySQL database again.

If the lead details appear as a new row in your MySQL table, the integration is working perfectly. This confirms that every time a new lead is generated through Facebook Lead Ads, Pabbly Connect will automatically add the details to your MySQL database.

This automation not only saves time but also ensures that you never miss a lead. You can now manage your leads efficiently using Pabbly Connect and MySQL.

Conclusion

In conclusion, integrating Facebook leads into your MySQL database using Pabbly Connect simplifies lead management. By following the steps outlined above, you can automate the process and ensure that all leads are captured accurately and efficiently. This integration allows you to focus more on converting leads rather than managing them manually.
