2. Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After accessing Pabbly Connect, create a new workflow to connect your Facebook Lead Ads with Google Sheets. Click on “Create from Scratch” or use the AI workflow builder to simplify the process. Enter a prompt like “When a new lead is received in Facebook Lead Ads, then save it in Google Sheets.” This sets the foundation for your automation.

  • Select “New Lead Instant” as the trigger from Facebook Lead Ads.
  • Choose “Add a New Row” as the action for Google Sheets.
  • Review the workflow preview and click “Approve and Create”.

This step creates a connection that will automatically transfer lead data from Facebook to Google Sheets, streamlining your lead management process.

3. Setting Up the Trigger for Facebook Lead Ads

With your workflow created, it’s time to set up the trigger in Pabbly Connect. Here, you will need to connect your Facebook account. Click on “Add New Connection” and grant access to Pabbly Connect for secure data handling.

Next, select your Facebook page and the specific lead form you want to capture leads from. For example, select your page named “Prime Properties” and the lead form associated with it. This ensures that only leads from this specific form are captured.

4. Testing Lead Capture with Facebook Lead Ads

To verify that your setup works, you need to generate a test lead. Use the Meta for Developers tool to create a test submission. Select your page and form, then enter dummy details like name, phone number, and email.

  • Enter a name like “Demo User”.
  • Use a random phone number and email for testing.
  • Select the property type and submit the form.

After submitting, check your Google Sheets to confirm that the lead details have been successfully added. This step ensures that your automation is functioning correctly through Pabbly Connect.

5. Mapping Data to Google Sheets

Now that your trigger is set up and tested, the next step is to map the lead data to your Google Sheets. In Pabbly Connect, select your Google Sheets account and authorize access.

Choose the spreadsheet where you want to add the leads. For instance, select the spreadsheet titled “New Leads” and the appropriate sheet within it. Map the fields from the Facebook lead data to the corresponding columns in your Google Sheets.

  • Map the “Name” field to the corresponding column in Google Sheets.
  • Map the “Email” and “Phone Number” fields similarly.
  • Ensure all required fields are correctly mapped before saving.

Once mapping is complete, click on “Save and Send Test Request” to finalize the setup. This will ensure that every new lead from Facebook is automatically added to your Google Sheets.
