3. Setting Up the Trigger for Instagram Lead Ads

To begin, select Instagram Lead Ads as your trigger application in Pabbly Connect. This will allow the platform to monitor new leads generated through your Instagram ads.

Choose the trigger event as ‘New Lead Instant’. This means that every time a new lead is submitted through your Instagram lead ad, Pabbly Connect will capture this event. You will then need to connect your Instagram account by clicking on the ‘Connect’ button.

• Select Instagram Lead Ads as your trigger application.
• Choose ‘New Lead Instant’ as the trigger event.

Once connected, select your Facebook page that is linked to your Instagram account and the lead form you wish to use. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure everything is set up correctly.

4. Configuring the Action Step with Gmail

The next step involves setting up the action application, which in this case is Gmail. This is where you will receive email alerts for new Instagram leads. In Pabbly Connect, select Gmail as your action application.

Choose the action event as ‘Send Email V2’. This action will trigger an email to be sent to your specified address whenever a new lead is captured. Connect your Gmail account by clicking on the ‘Connect’ button and allow access to your account.

Select Gmail as your action application. Choose ‘Send Email V2’ as the action event. Connect your Gmail account to Pabbly Connect.

After connecting, enter the recipient email address where you want to receive alerts. You can also customize the email subject and body to include lead details using mapped data from the trigger step.

5. Testing the Integration in Pabbly Connect

Now that your workflow is set up, it’s essential to test the integration to ensure it works correctly. In Pabbly Connect, generate a test lead using the lead testing tool provided by Meta for Developers.

Once you create a test lead with dummy data, check your Gmail account to confirm that you receive an email alert with the lead details. This step verifies that the integration between Instagram lead ads and Gmail is functioning as intended.

After testing, you can delete the test lead and create new ones to see how the automation responds. This will help you ensure that your setup is reliable for real-time lead generation.
