3. Setting Up the Trigger for Facebook Lead Ads

After selecting Facebook Lead Ads as the trigger, choose “New Lead Instant” as the event. This tells Pabbly Connect to capture new leads from your Facebook Lead Ads.

You will need to establish a connection by adding your Facebook account. Once connected, select your Facebook page and the lead generation form from the dropdown menu to specify which leads to capture.

  • Ensure to select the correct page, e.g., “Prime Properties”.
  • Choose the lead form, such as “Real Estate Lead Form”.

4. Mapping Lead Data for Salesforce CRM

Upon successful connection, you will see the lead details captured by Pabbly Connect. Since Salesforce requires first and last names separately, you will need to split the full name using the “Text Formatter” feature.

Add an action step and select “Text Formatter” with the event set to “Split Text”. Map the full name from the previous step and specify a space as the separator.

  • Use “Space” as the separator to divide the name.
  • Select “All” for segment index to capture both first and last names.

Click “Save and Send Request” to finalize this step. You will receive a successful response with the first and last names separated, ready for the next step.

5. Adding New Contacts to Salesforce CRM

Now that you have the lead information ready, it’s time to add a new contact in Salesforce CRM. Select Salesforce as the action application and choose “Create Contact” as the event.

Connect your Salesforce account by adding a new connection. Grant the necessary permissions, ensuring that your data is secure with Pabbly Connect.

  • Map the first name and last name from the previous step.
  • Also, map the email address and phone number to the respective fields.

After entering the required details, click on “Save and Send Request”. You should see a confirmation that a new contact has been created in your Salesforce CRM, demonstrating the effectiveness of Pabbly Connect in automating this process.
