• Choose between the classic or beta workflow builder.

After naming your workflow and selecting the appropriate folder, you can proceed to set up the trigger for your automation. This step is crucial as it defines when the automation will be activated.

3. Setting Up the Trigger with Facebook Lead Ads

In this section, you will set up the trigger that initiates the automation process in Pabbly Connect. Select ‘Facebook Lead Ads’ as your trigger application. This choice indicates that the workflow will be activated whenever a new lead is generated from your Facebook ads.

Choose ‘Pipedrive’ as your action application and then select the action event as ‘Create Activity’. This will ensure that a new task is automatically created in your Pipedrive account.

To finalize this setup, you will need to connect your Pipedrive account to Pabbly Connect. Enter your API token from Pipedrive, which you can find in your account settings. After connecting, you will be prompted to map the data fields from the Facebook lead to the corresponding fields in Pipedrive.

• Map the lead’s first name to the corresponding field in Pipedrive.

To ensure everything is working correctly, it is crucial to test your integration. In Pabbly Connect, generate a test lead using the Facebook Lead Ads testing tool. This will simulate the process and help you verify that a task is created in Pipedrive as expected.

After submitting the test lead, check your Pipedrive account to confirm that the new task has been created successfully.
