2. Configuring the Trigger Event in Pabbly Connect

The next step involves setting up the trigger event that will start the workflow. In this case, the trigger is when a new lead is generated through Facebook Ads. In Pabbly Connect, search for ‘Facebook Lead Ads’ in the trigger module and select ‘New Lead Instant’ as the trigger event.

• Select ‘Add New Connection’ and connect with Facebook Lead Ads.
• Choose the Facebook page where your lead ad is running.
• Select the specific lead generation form associated with your ad.

After configuring these settings, click on the ‘Save and Test Request’ button. This action will prompt you to create a test lead using the Facebook Lead Ads Testing Tool. Follow the prompts to generate a test lead, which will be used to verify the connection.

3. Adding Leads to iContact Using Pabbly Connect

After successfully capturing the test lead, the next step is to set up the action that will add this lead to iContact. In Pabbly Connect, search for ‘iContact’ in the action module and select ‘Create a Contact’ as the action event. This step allows you to automatically add the captured lead information to your iContact list.

To connect iContact, you will need to input your Application ID, API Password, Username, and API URL. These details can be found in the integrations section of your iContact account. Once you have entered this information, click on ‘Save’ to establish the connection.

• Map the fields from the test lead to the corresponding fields in iContact.
• Use the text formatter feature in Pabbly Connect to split full names into first and last names.
• Use the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button to finalize the connection.

By following these steps, you will successfully add the leads generated from Facebook Ads to your iContact list through Pabbly Connect. Ensure that all necessary fields are filled out to avoid errors.

4. Testing the Integration of Facebook Ads and iContact

Once the setup is complete, it’s crucial to test the integration to ensure that leads are being added correctly to iContact. In Pabbly Connect, click on the ‘Save and Send Test Request’ button. This will send the test lead data to your iContact account.

After executing the test request, check your iContact account to verify that the new contact has been added. Refresh the contacts list in iContact to see if the test lead appears correctly. If successful, you will see the test lead listed with the information you mapped earlier.

If the test lead does not appear, recheck the mappings and API details to ensure everything is configured properly in Pabbly Connect. It’s important to ensure that all required fields are accounted for to facilitate a smooth integration.

5. Finalizing Your Automation with Pabbly Connect

After confirming that the test lead was successfully added to iContact, you can finalize the automation. This setup in Pabbly Connect only needs to be done once; thereafter, it will work automatically in the background. Whenever a new lead is generated through your Facebook Ads, it will be added to your iContact list without any further action required from you.

To ensure the automation runs smoothly, monitor the Pabbly Connect dashboard for any errors or issues that may arise. You can also clone this workflow for other lead generation forms or Facebook pages as needed. This feature allows you to expand your marketing efforts efficiently.

By using Pabbly Connect, you have streamlined your lead generation process, saving time and improving productivity. This integration is essential for marketers looking to automate their workflows effectively.
