1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Instagram Lead Ads

To integrate Instagram Lead Ads with MongoDB, we first need to set up Pabbly Connect. This platform allows us to automate the process of adding new leads to our MongoDB database seamlessly. Start by signing up for a free account on Pabbly Connect, which can be done in just a couple of minutes.

Once you are logged into your Pabbly Connect dashboard, create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and name it, for example, ‘Instagram Leads to MongoDB’. This workflow will handle the automation between Instagram Lead Ads and MongoDB.

2. Connecting Instagram Lead Ads to Pabbly Connect

In this step, we will connect our Instagram Lead Ads account to Pabbly Connect. This is essential for receiving new lead information directly into our workflow. In the trigger window, select ‘Instagram Lead Ads’ as the app and choose the trigger event as ‘New Lead Instant’.

• Select ‘Connect’ and then ‘Add New Connection’.
• Ensure your Instagram account is linked to your Facebook account.
• Choose the Facebook page associated with your Instagram ads.

After confirming these connections, you will need to select the specific lead generation form from which you want to capture leads. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure that Pabbly Connect is ready to receive lead data.

3. Testing Instagram Lead Ads with Meta Lead Tool

To test the integration, we can use the Meta Lead Testing Tool. This tool allows us to generate a test lead that Pabbly Connect will capture. Click on the Meta Lead Testing Tool and select your Facebook page and lead generation form. using Pabbly Connect

• Fill in the lead details, such as name, email, and phone number.
• Submit the test lead to check if Pabbly Connect captures it successfully.

Once the test lead is submitted, return to Pabbly Connect to see if the lead details have been received. You should see the test lead data reflecting in the workflow, confirming that the connection is working properly.

4. Adding Leads to MongoDB Using Pabbly Connect

Now that we have captured leads from Instagram, the next step is to add these leads to MongoDB using Pabbly Connect. In the action window, select ‘MongoDB’ as the app and choose the action event ‘Create Record’.

To establish the connection, you will need to enter your MongoDB connection string. Go to your MongoDB account, navigate to the Network Access section, and add your current IP address. Once added, proceed to copy the connection string from the Clusters section and paste it into Pabbly Connect.

Ensure that you have entered the correct database name and collection name where you want to store the leads. Map the lead details from Instagram to the respective fields in MongoDB.

After mapping all necessary fields, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to check if the data is successfully added to MongoDB. Refresh your MongoDB collection to verify that the new lead details have been recorded.

5. Verifying the Integration and Workflow

To ensure everything works correctly, we will perform a final test of the automation created with Pabbly Connect. Use the Meta Lead Testing Tool again to generate another test lead, ensuring that it is a different lead from the previous test.

After submitting the new test lead, return to your MongoDB account and refresh the collection page. You should see the new lead added with all the correct details. This confirms that the integration between Instagram Lead Ads and MongoDB via Pabbly Connect is functioning perfectly.

With this setup, you can now automate the process of adding leads from Instagram directly into your MongoDB database, saving time and ensuring accurate data collection.
