1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Integration

To start integrating Facebook leads with Google Sheets, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. Navigate to the Pabbly website and sign up for an account if you don’t have one. Once signed in, you can create a new workflow to automate the process of saving leads from Facebook to Google Sheets.

After logging into Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. You will be prompted to name your workflow. A suitable name could be ‘Facebook to Google Sheets Integration’. This helps in identifying the workflow later. Once named, you can proceed to set up the trigger and action steps.

2. Setting Facebook Lead as Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this section, we will set Facebook Lead Ads as the trigger in your Pabbly Connect workflow. Select ‘Facebook Lead Ads’ from the list of applications. The trigger event should be set to ‘New Lead’. This means every time a new lead is generated in Facebook, it will trigger the workflow.

• Choose ‘New Lead’ as the trigger event.
• Connect your Facebook account to Pabbly Connect.
• Select the Facebook page and lead form you want to use.

After setting the trigger, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure that Pabbly Connect can fetch the lead data from Facebook. This step is crucial for confirming that your integration is set up correctly.

3. Adding Google Sheets Action in Pabbly Connect

Next, we will add Google Sheets as an action in your Pabbly Connect workflow. Choose ‘Google Sheets’ from the application list, and set the action event to ‘Add New Row’. This action will allow you to input the lead data into your specified Google Sheet.

Connect your Google Sheets account to Pabbly Connect and select the spreadsheet where you want to store the leads. Choose the specific sheet within that spreadsheet where the data will be added. Map the fields from the Facebook lead to the corresponding columns in Google Sheets.

• Map the first name, last name, email, and phone number fields.
• Ensure all fields are correctly matched to avoid data loss.

Once all fields are mapped, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify that the lead data is correctly added to your Google Sheets. This step ensures that your integration works seamlessly.

4. Sending Email Confirmation via Gmail

After successfully adding the lead to Google Sheets, the next step is to send a confirmation email using Gmail through Pabbly Connect. Select ‘Gmail’ as the next action app and set the action event to ‘Send Email’.

Connect your Gmail account and fill in the recipient’s details using the data fetched from Facebook. You can customize the email subject and body to include a thank-you message for filling out the form. Ensure you map the recipient’s email address correctly to send the email to the right person.

Set the email subject as ‘Lead Confirmation’. Compose a personalized message for the recipient.

Finally, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to check if the email is sent successfully. This confirmation helps in keeping your leads informed and engaged.

5. Sending SMS Notification Using Twilio

The last step in this integration process is sending an SMS notification using Twilio through Pabbly Connect. Select ‘Twilio’ as your action app and choose ‘Send SMS’ as the action event.

Connect your Twilio account by entering your Account SID and Auth Token. Fill in the sender number (your Twilio number) and the recipient number (the lead’s phone number) fetched from Facebook. You can use the same message content as in the email for consistency.

Map the recipient’s phone number correctly, including the country code. Verify the message content before sending.

Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure that the SMS is sent successfully to the lead. This feature enhances your follow-up process and keeps your leads engaged through multiple channels.
