Creating a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After accessing Pabbly Connect, the next step is to create a workflow. Click on the button labeled ‘Create Workflow.’ You will be prompted to name your workflow and choose a folder for it. For this integration, name it ‘Create Flowdesk Subscriber from Instagram Lead Ads’ and save it in the ‘Automations’ folder.

• Click on ‘Create’ to open the workflow window.
• In the workflow window, you will set a trigger and action.

The trigger is your command, while the action is what follows. In this case, the trigger application is Instagram Lead Ads, allowing you to capture leads automatically.

Setting Up Instagram Lead Ads as Trigger in Pabbly Connect

For the trigger, select Instagram Lead Ads from the application list in Pabbly Connect. Choose the trigger event as ‘New Lead Instant.’ This setup ensures that every time a new lead is generated, Pabbly Connect will trigger the workflow.

Next, you will need to connect your Instagram account to Pabbly Connect. If you have previously connected your Instagram account, select the existing connection. If not, click on ‘Add New Connection’ and follow the prompts to connect your Facebook account linked to Instagram.

• Select your Facebook account when prompted.
• Continue to complete the connection process.

After successfully connecting, choose your Facebook page, which is ‘Peak Performance Physio,’ and select the lead generation form you want to use.

Testing the Instagram Lead Ads Trigger

Once the Instagram Lead Ads trigger is set up in Pabbly Connect, you need to test it. Since you might be running a draft campaign, you will submit a dummy lead to test the connection. Open a new tab and navigate to the Meta for Developers site to access the Lead Ads Testing Tool.

Select your Facebook page and the lead form, then fill in the dummy details such as first name, last name, email, and phone number. Click on ‘Submit’ to send the test lead. Pabbly Connect will capture this lead and trigger the workflow.

Fill in dummy details: First Name: Demo, Last Name: User, Email: [email protected]. Click ‘Submit’ to send the test lead to Pabbly Connect.

After submission, check your workflow in Pabbly Connect to ensure the lead information has been captured successfully.

Setting Up Flowdesk as Action in Pabbly Connect

The next step is to set up Flowdesk as the action application in Pabbly Connect. Select Flowdesk and choose the action event as ‘Create or Update a Subscriber.’ This action will allow you to create a new subscriber in your Flowdesk account whenever a new lead is captured from Instagram.

Connect your Flowdesk account to Pabbly Connect by selecting ‘Add New Connection.’ You will be prompted to allow permissions for Pabbly Connect to access your Flowdesk account. Click ‘Allow’ to proceed.

Now, you need to map the fields from the trigger step to the action step. For instance, map the email, first name, and last name from the Instagram lead data to the corresponding fields in Flowdesk. This mapping ensures that the subscriber information is dynamic and updates with each new lead.
