3. Adding New Lead Details to Google Sheets

After successfully capturing the lead details from Facebook, the next step is to add this information to Google Sheets using Pabbly Connect. In the action window, search for ‘Google Sheets’ and select it. Choose the action event as ‘Add New Row’. Click ‘Connect’ and select ‘Add New Connection’ to link your Google Sheets account.

Once connected, select the spreadsheet where you want to add the lead details. You will also need to choose the specific sheet within that spreadsheet. Now, map the lead details from Facebook to the corresponding fields in Google Sheets:

• Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure the data is added correctly.

Check your Google Sheets account to confirm that the new lead’s information has been added successfully. This step demonstrates how Pabbly Connect enables seamless integration between Facebook Lead Ads and Google Sheets.

Next, you’ll want to insert the new lead’s data into your MySQL database. In the action window, click ‘Add Action Step’ and search for ‘MySQL’. Select ‘Insert Row’ as the action event. Click ‘Connect’ and add a new connection by entering your MySQL database credentials.

After connecting, select the table where you want to insert the lead details. Map the lead information from Facebook to the respective fields in your MySQL table:

Map the lead ID, first name, last name, mobile number, email, and company name. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to verify the data insertion.

Once you receive a positive response, check your MySQL database to confirm that the new lead’s data has been added successfully. This highlights how Pabbly Connect facilitates the integration between Facebook Lead Ads and MySQL.

Finally, to nurture your leads, you can send them a WhatsApp message. In the action step, search for ‘AI Sensi’ and select it. Choose ‘Send Template Message’ as the action event. Connect your AI Sensi account by entering the API key from your account settings.

After connecting, enter the campaign name you created in AI Sensi for your WhatsApp messages. Map the mobile number from the Facebook lead details to ensure the message is sent to the correct recipient:

Map the first name for personalization in the message. Click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to send a test message.
