2. Configuring the Trigger for New Facebook Leads

In this step, you will set up the trigger for your automation using Pabbly Connect. The trigger application will be Facebook Lead Ads, and the event will be a new lead. Click on the trigger field, select Facebook Lead Ads, and choose the ‘New Lead’ event.

• Select Facebook Lead Ads as the trigger application.
• Choose ‘New Lead’ as the trigger event.
• Click on ‘Connect’ and add a new connection with Facebook.

After connecting your Facebook account, select the Facebook page where your lead ads are running. Then, choose the specific lead ad form you want to use. This setup allows Pabbly Connect to capture details from new leads generated through your Facebook ads.

3. Generating a Test Lead to Capture Data

To ensure your workflow works correctly, you need to generate a test lead. In the Facebook Lead Ads testing tool, select your page and the lead ad form. Click on ‘Preview’ to view the form, then fill it out to create a test lead.

Once the form is filled out with test details, click on ‘Submit’. After submission, return to Pabbly Connect and click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This action fetches the details of the most recent lead, which will be used in the subsequent steps.

4. Setting Up Google Chat Action in Pabbly Connect

Now that you have captured the test lead details, it’s time to set up the action step in Pabbly Connect. Select Google Chat as the action application and choose the ‘Create Message’ event. Click on the ‘Connect’ button to link your Google Chat account.

• Select Google Chat as the action application.
• Choose the ‘Create Message’ event.
• Input the chat webhook URL to connect Google Chat.

To obtain the chat webhook URL, go to your Google Chat application, navigate to the specific space, and set up an incoming webhook. Once you have the URL, paste it into the corresponding field in Pabbly Connect. This allows you to send messages directly to your Google Chat space whenever a new lead is generated.

5. Customizing the Message for Google Chat

In this final step, you will customize the message that will be sent to your Google Chat team. In the message field, craft a message that includes lead details. For example, you might write, ‘Hello team, we have just received a new lead via Facebook lead ad. The details are as follows:’ and then map the captured lead data into the message.

To map the details, click on the fields in the message template and select the corresponding data from the test lead. After configuring the message, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to send a test message to your Google Chat space. This confirms that your integration is working correctly through Pabbly Connect.
