Retrieve your API keys from the Mailgun dashboard under API Security. Ensure that you have selected the correct region for your Mailgun account.

Once all details are entered, save the action configuration. This allows Pabbly Connect to add new members to your Mailgun mailing list automatically whenever a new lead is captured.

5. Testing the Integration

To confirm that your integration works, you need to test it. Use the lead testing tool provided by Meta to generate a test lead for your Facebook Lead Ads.
