How to Create Salesforce Lead from New Facebook Lead Ads

Before we bounce straight into the integration process, let us get a smidgen of information about both services. Facebook is a social media platform or social networking site that allows the user all over the world to connect and interact. However, Salesforce is a cloud-based software company that provides CRM service and also a complementary suite of enterprise applications focused on customer service, marketing automation, analytics, etc.

Since Facebook and Salesforce don’t have any direct way of integration between them, that’s why here we are using Pabbly Connect.
