3. Setting Up the Trigger with Facebook Leads

The next step involves setting up the trigger in Pabbly Connect. This is crucial as it initiates the workflow. Select ‘Facebook Leads Ads’ as your trigger application and choose ‘New Lead Instant’ as the event. Click on the ‘Connect’ button to establish a connection.

You will be given options to either add a new connection or select an existing one. For this tutorial, select ‘Add New Connection’ and then click on ‘Connect with Facebook Lead Ads’. Once connected, choose the specific Facebook page and form you want to track.

• Select the page name where your form is located.

After setting these options, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to check if the connection is working correctly.

4. Mapping Data to Google Sheets

Now that we have the trigger set up, the next step is to map the data to Google Sheets using Pabbly Connect. Select ‘Google Sheets’ as your action application and choose ‘Add New Row’ as the event. Click ‘Connect’ to create a new connection.

After signing into your Google account, select the specific Google Sheet you want to use. In the mapping section, you will need to map the fields from the Facebook lead form to the corresponding columns in Google Sheets. This is essential for ensuring the data is captured accurately.

Map the first name, last name, email, phone number, and city fields. Ensure that each field is dynamically mapped to capture different user inputs.

Once all fields are mapped correctly, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to confirm that the data is being sent to your Google Sheet.

5. Finalizing and Testing the Workflow

After successfully mapping the data, the last step in Pabbly Connect is to finalize and test your workflow. Ensure that the toggle is enabled, as this will keep your workflow active. If the toggle is not enabled, the automation will not function.

To test the workflow, fill out the Facebook lead form again with new data. After submitting, check your Google Sheet to confirm that the new entry appears as expected. This step verifies that the entire integration works seamlessly.

Submit a new inquiry through the Facebook form. Verify that the new data is reflected in your Google Sheet.

If everything is functioning correctly, your automation is complete, and you can now enjoy the benefits of auto-saving inquiries without manual effort.
