1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Integration

To integrate Facebook Lead Ads with MongoDB, we will utilize Pabbly Connect. Start by signing up for a free account on Pabbly Connect to access its automation features. Once registered, log into your Pabbly Connect dashboard.

After logging in, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button to begin setting up your automation. You can name your workflow something like ‘Facebook Lead Ads to MongoDB’. This naming will help you identify the workflow later on.

2. Connecting Facebook Lead Ads with Pabbly Connect

In this section, we will connect your Facebook Lead Ads account to Pabbly Connect. Start by selecting ‘Facebook Lead Ads’ as your app in the trigger window. Then, choose the trigger event as ‘New Lead Instant’. Click on connect to proceed.

• Select ‘Add New Connection’ to link your Facebook account.
• Log into Facebook when prompted, allowing Pabbly Connect to access your account.
• Choose the specific Facebook page from which you want to capture leads.

After selecting your page, you will need to choose the lead generation form associated with your ads. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to check if the connection is successful. Pabbly Connect will now wait for a new lead to be generated.

3. Generating a Test Lead for Facebook Ads

To test the connection between Facebook Lead Ads and Pabbly Connect, we need to generate a test lead. Use Meta’s Lead Ad Testing Tool to create a test lead that will be captured by Pabbly Connect. Select your Facebook page and lead form, then fill in the lead details.

• Enter a name, email address, phone number, country, and zip code for the test lead.
• Submit the form to generate the lead.

Once the test lead is submitted, return to Pabbly Connect to see if the new lead details have been captured. If successful, you will see the lead information in the Pabbly Connect workflow.

4. Adding Leads to MongoDB Using Pabbly Connect

Now that we have captured a lead, the next step is to add this lead to your MongoDB database using Pabbly Connect. In the action step of your workflow, search for ‘MongoDB’ and select it as your app. Choose the action event ‘Create Record’ to proceed.

To connect your MongoDB account, you will need to enter the connection string. This string can be obtained from your MongoDB account under the cluster settings. Make sure to enter your database username, password, and database name in the correct format.

Add your current IP address to MongoDB’s network access settings. Copy the connection string and paste it into Pabbly Connect. Specify the collection name where you want to store the lead data.

After completing the connection setup, create a custom JSON body to map the lead details captured from Facebook. This JSON body will include the lead’s name, email, phone number, zip code, and any other relevant details.

5. Testing the Automation Workflow

With everything set up, it’s time to test the automation between Facebook Lead Ads and MongoDB using Pabbly Connect. Generate another test lead using the same Lead Ad Testing Tool. Ensure that you delete the previous test lead to avoid duplicates.

After submitting the new lead details, check your MongoDB database to confirm that the new lead has been added successfully. Refresh the database page to see the latest entries.

Verify that all lead details match the submitted information. Ensure that the automation runs smoothly without any errors.

This successful test confirms that your integration is working as intended, allowing you to automate the process of adding leads from Facebook to your MongoDB database seamlessly.

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we demonstrated how to effectively use Pabbly Connect to automate the integration of Facebook Lead Ads with MongoDB. By following the steps outlined, you can streamline your lead management process and ensure that all new leads are captured efficiently.
