To begin automating email alerts for new Facebook leads, you need to access Pabbly Connect. Start by navigating to the Pabbly Connect homepage by typing ‘Pabbly.com/connect’ into your browser’s address bar.

Once on the homepage, you will see options to sign in or sign up for free. If you’re an existing user, click on ‘Sign In’ to log into your account. New users can click ‘Sign Up for Free’ to create an account and begin exploring the platform.

2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After logging into Pabbly Connect, you will be directed to the dashboard. Here, you can create a new workflow by clicking on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. A dialog box will prompt you to name your workflow, for example, ‘Get Email Alerts for New Facebook Leads’.

• Select a folder to save your workflow.
• Click ‘Create’ to save your workflow.
• You will see two main windows: Trigger and Action.

In this workflow, the trigger will be the event of receiving a new lead from Facebook Ads, and the action will be sending an email via SMTP using Pabbly Connect.

3. Setting Up the Trigger with Facebook Lead Ads

To set up your trigger in Pabbly Connect, select ‘Facebook Lead Ads’ as your trigger application. Then, choose the trigger event ‘New Lead Instant’. This option ensures that every time a new lead is generated, the workflow triggers immediately.

After selecting the trigger event, click on ‘Connect’ to establish a connection with your Facebook account. If you are already logged in, select the appropriate account and click ‘Continue’. Once authorized, you will need to select the Facebook page and lead generation form associated with your ad campaign.

4. Configuring SMTP for Email Alerts

Next, you need to set up the action step using Pabbly Connect with SMTP. Select ‘SMTP by PAB’ as your action application. The action event will be to ‘Send Email’. You will be prompted to enter your SMTP credentials, including host name, username, password, encryption type, and port.

• Enter your SMTP server details correctly.
• Specify the sender’s name and email address.
• Set the recipient email address to receive alerts.

Once all details are entered, click ‘Save’ to establish the connection. This setup allows you to receive email alerts every time a lead is generated from Facebook lead ads through the SMTP service.

5. Testing the Integration in Pabbly Connect

After configuring both the trigger and action, it is crucial to test the integration to ensure everything is functioning smoothly. In Pabbly Connect, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to send a test email. Ensure the test email captures the lead details correctly.

To simulate a new lead, use the Facebook lead ads testing tool. Select your Facebook page and the lead generation form, and submit a test lead. Once submitted, check your email to verify that the alert has been received successfully.

This testing phase confirms that your integration between Facebook lead ads and SMTP via Pabbly Connect is working effectively. You will now receive email alerts for every new lead generated.

Conclusion

By following this tutorial, you can successfully integrate Facebook lead ads with SMTP using Pabbly Connect to automate your email alerts. This setup streamlines your lead management process and ensures you never miss a potential client.
