2. Set Up Facebook Lead Ads as Trigger in Pabbly Connect

In this step, you will set Facebook Lead Ads as your trigger application in Pabbly Connect. Select Facebook Lead Ads from the list of applications. For the trigger event, choose ‘New Lead Instant’. This means that every time a new lead is generated, it will trigger the workflow.

• Select ‘Connect’ to establish a connection with Facebook.

• Choose the Facebook page and lead form you want to use.

After selecting your page and lead form, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure that Pabbly Connect captures the lead data correctly. You should see a confirmation that the connection is set up successfully.

3. Create Shopify Customer Using Pabbly Connect

Next, you will set Shopify as the action application in your Pabbly Connect workflow. Choose Shopify and select the action event as ‘Create Customer’. This action will add the lead information as a new customer in your Shopify store.

To connect Shopify, you will need to enter your Shopify store’s subdomain, API key, and API secret. Follow these steps:

• Access your Shopify account and navigate to Settings > Apps.
• Click on ‘Develop apps’ and create a new app.
• Configure the API scopes to allow customer data access.

After saving your credentials, map the fields from the Facebook lead to the Shopify customer fields. This ensures that every new lead is added with the correct information.

4. Test the Integration in Pabbly Connect

After setting up both applications, it’s time to test the integration in Pabbly Connect. Go back to the Facebook Lead Ads testing tool and submit a test lead. Ensure that you fill in the required fields such as email, name, phone number, and city.

Once you submit the form, return to your Pabbly Connect workflow and check for the new lead data. If the test is successful, you should see the captured lead information in the workflow response.

Finally, check your Shopify dashboard to confirm that a new customer has been created with the details from your test lead. This validates that the workflow is functioning correctly.

5. Finalize Your Pabbly Connect Workflow

With the integration tested successfully, you can finalize your workflow in Pabbly Connect. Make any necessary adjustments to ensure that all fields are mapped correctly, and save your workflow.

Once saved, your automation is live. Now, every time a new lead is generated from your Facebook Lead Ads, it will automatically create a customer in Shopify without any manual intervention.
