To begin automating the process of adding Facebook Lead Ads leads to PostgreSQL, you first need to set up Pabbly Connect. This platform allows seamless integration between various applications, making it easier to manage your leads.

Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and name it something like ‘Facebook Lead Ads to PostgreSQL’. Choose a folder for your workflow and click ‘Create’ to proceed.

2. Configuring the Trigger for Facebook Lead Ads

The next step involves setting up the trigger for your workflow in Pabbly Connect. This trigger will activate whenever a new lead is generated through your Facebook Lead Ads. In the trigger window, search for ‘Facebook Lead Ads’ and select it as your app.

• Click on ‘Connect’ and select ‘Add New Connection’.
• Authenticate your Facebook account to link it with Pabbly Connect.

After connecting, select the Facebook page where your ads are running and choose the lead generation form you want to track. Click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure everything is set up correctly. At this point, Pabbly Connect will be waiting for a new lead response.

3. Generating a Test Lead for Verification

To verify that your integration is functioning correctly, you need to generate a test lead. Use the Facebook Lead Ads Testing Tool to create a dummy lead. Select your Facebook page and the lead form you configured earlier, then fill in the details for the test lead.

• Enter a name, email, mobile number, and company name for the test lead.
• Click on ‘Submit’ to generate the lead.

Connect your PostgreSQL account by entering the required credentials such as username, password, host name, database name, and port. After successfully connecting, select the table (e.g., ‘Facebook Leads’) where you want to insert the lead data.

Map the fields from the Facebook lead data to the respective columns in your PostgreSQL table. Ensure all necessary fields such as lead ID, name, email, and phone number are mapped correctly.

After mapping, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to finalize the integration. You should see a positive response indicating that the lead data has been successfully added to your PostgreSQL database.

5. Testing the Entire Automation Workflow

After setting up your automation, it’s time to test the entire workflow. Return to the Facebook Lead Ads Testing Tool and generate another test lead, ensuring to delete the previous one to avoid duplication.

Once you have the new test lead ready, submit it through the testing tool. Within seconds, check your PostgreSQL database to see if the new lead has been added. You should see the same details reflected in your database, confirming that your Pabbly Connect automation is functioning correctly.

This process not only saves time but also ensures that all leads from Facebook are automatically stored in your PostgreSQL database without manual intervention.
