2. Setting Up the Trigger with Facebook Lead Ads

In this section, you will set up the trigger in Pabbly Connect to capture leads from Facebook. Click on the ‘Add Trigger’ button and search for ‘Facebook Lead Ads’. Select the event as ‘New Lead Instant’ and click on ‘Connect’. If you have a pre-existing connection, choose it; otherwise, create a new connection by logging into your Facebook account.

• Click on ‘Add New Connection’.
• Log into your Facebook account when prompted.
• Select the Facebook page and lead form you want to use.

Once you have set up the connection, ensure you enable the ‘Simple Response’ option to capture the lead details in a straightforward format. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to proceed with the setup.

3. Capturing the Webhook Response

After sending the test request in Pabbly Connect, you will need to capture the webhook response. Open a new tab and go to the Meta for Developers website. Navigate to the ‘Lead Ads Testing Tool’ under the resources section.

• Select the same Facebook page and form you used in Pabbly Connect.
• Fill out the lead form with test data.
• Submit the form to generate a lead.

Once the form is submitted, return to your Pabbly Connect workflow. You should see that Pabbly Connect has captured the lead details, including first name, last name, and email address. This data will be used for sending the automated email.

4. Setting Up the Email Action in Gmail

Next, you will set up the action step in Pabbly Connect to send an email through Gmail. Click on ‘Add New Action Step’ and search for ‘Gmail’. Select the event as ‘Send Email’ and click ‘Connect’. If you have an existing connection, select it, or create a new one by signing into your Google account.

After connecting Gmail, you will need to fill in several fields for the email settings:

Enter the sender’s name and email address. Map the recipient’s email address from the previous step. Fill in the subject and email content.

Make sure to select the email content type as HTML if you are using HTML formatting. Once all fields are completed, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to send a test email.

5. Finalizing Your Automation Workflow

After successfully sending the test email, check your Gmail inbox to confirm that the email was received. This indicates that your automation is working correctly through Pabbly Connect. The email will contain the personalized message you set up using the lead details.

With this setup, every time a new lead submits their information through your Facebook Lead Ads, Pabbly Connect will automatically send them a welcome email. This process eliminates manual tasks and ensures timely communication with your leads.
