1. Introduction to Pabbly Connect for Automation

In this tutorial, we will explore how to use Pabbly Connect to automatically create Google Contacts from new leads. This integration saves time and eliminates manual data entry.

First, access Pabbly Connect by navigating to its website. If you are a new user, you can sign up for a free account, which provides 100 free tasks each month for testing and exploring the platform.

2. Setting Up Trigger App: Facebook Lead Ads

The first step in our workflow is to set up the trigger application, Facebook Lead Ads, in Pabbly Connect. This app will initiate the workflow whenever a new lead is generated.

  • Select Facebook Lead Ads as the trigger application.
  • Choose the event as “New Lead Instant”.
  • Click the “Connect” button to establish the connection.

Once connected, you will be prompted to log into your Facebook account. After logging in, select the Facebook page from which you want to capture leads. Make sure to select the specific form that will be used to gather leads.

3. Testing the Trigger in Pabbly Connect

After setting up the trigger, it’s essential to test it to ensure it’s working correctly. Fill out the Facebook Lead Ads form with test data, which will be sent to Pabbly Connect.

Here’s how to test the trigger:

  • Navigate to the Facebook Lead Ads form and submit a test lead.
  • Check Pabbly Connect to see if the lead details are captured successfully.
  • Confirm that the response includes the lead’s name, email, and phone number.

This step validates that Pabbly Connect is correctly receiving the data from Facebook Lead Ads, setting the stage for the next steps in the automation process.

4. Adding Action App: Google Contacts

Now that the trigger is successfully set up, the next step is to add Google Contacts as the action app in Pabbly Connect. This app will create a new contact whenever a new lead is received.

To set this up, follow these steps:

  • Select Google Contacts as the action application.
  • Choose the event “Create Contact”.
  • Click the “Connect” button to link your Google account.

After connecting, you will need to map the fields from the Facebook lead to the Google Contacts fields. This mapping allows Pabbly Connect to automatically fill in the contact details using the data captured from the lead form.

5. Finalizing the Automation Process

With both the trigger and action apps set up, it’s time to finalize the automation process in Pabbly Connect. Ensure that all fields are correctly mapped, including first name, last name, email, and phone number.

Once everything is set, click on the “Save and Send Test Request” button. This will send a test request to create a new Google Contact with the details from the Facebook lead.

Check your Google Contacts to confirm that the new contact has been created successfully. If the test is successful, you will see the new lead listed with the details you provided in the Facebook form.

This entire process illustrates how Pabbly Connect automates the creation of Google Contacts from new leads, saving you time and effort in managing your contacts manually.
