1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Facebook Leads Alerts

To begin with, you need to access Pabbly Connect. If you’re a new user, open your browser and search for pabbl.com/connect. This will take you to the Pabbly Connect landing page. In the top right corner, click on the option to ‘Sign Up for Free’. This allows you to explore 100 free tasks every month, which means you can send up to 100 lead alerts for free.

Once you have signed up, log into your account to access the workflow builder within Pabbly Connect. This is where you will create the automation to send alerts to Telegram whenever a new lead is generated from Facebook. Make sure to familiarize yourself with the interface as it will be crucial for the steps ahead.

2. Creating the Trigger for Facebook Lead Ads in Pabbly Connect

Now, let’s create the trigger for your automation. In your Pabbly Connect workflow, click on the ‘Add Trigger’ button. Search for ‘Facebook Lead Ads’ and select it. For the event, choose ‘New Lead Instant’. This will allow Pabbly Connect to capture new leads as they come in.

• Ensure you are logged into your Facebook account.
• If you have existing connections, select ‘Use Existing Connection’; otherwise, click ‘Add New Connection’.
• Select your Facebook page and the lead form you want to use.

Once you have selected the appropriate page and form, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’. This will initiate the connection and allow Pabbly Connect to start listening for new leads.

3. Capturing Lead Data in Pabbly Connect

After setting up the trigger, Pabbly Connect will wait for a response from Facebook. To simulate a lead, you will need to use the Meta for Developers platform. Open a new tab and search for Meta for Developers, then navigate to the lead ads testing tool.

In the lead ads testing tool, select the same Facebook page and form you previously configured. Choose the option for lead retrieval and click on the ‘Create Lead’ button. This action will generate a test lead that Pabbly Connect can capture.

• Make sure to select the correct page and form.
• Click ‘Create Lead’ to send the test lead.
• Return to your Pabbly Connect workflow to see the captured data.

Once the test lead is created, Pabbly Connect will display the lead data it has captured, including details like name and email.

4. Setting Up Telegram as the Action Step in Pabbly Connect

Next, you will configure the action step to send notifications to Telegram. Click on ‘Add New Action Step’ in Pabbly Connect and search for ‘Telegram Bot’. Choose the event ‘Send a Text Message’. This will allow you to send the lead details directly to your Telegram group.

When prompted, connect your Telegram account. If you have an existing connection, select it; otherwise, click ‘Add New Connection’. You will need to obtain a token from the BotFather on Telegram. Search for ‘BotFather’ in Telegram, start a chat, and create a new bot. Make sure to save the API key provided by BotFather and paste it into Pabbly Connect.

5. Finalizing the Integration and Testing the Workflow

After successfully connecting Telegram, you will need to specify the chat ID where the messages will be sent. Add your bot to the group as a subscriber and promote it to admin to allow it to send messages. Copy the chat ID and paste it into your Pabbly Connect workflow.

For the message content, you can map the lead details captured earlier. This ensures that each new lead generates a dynamic message with their information. Once you have set everything up, click ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to test if the integration works. If successful, your Telegram group will receive notifications for new leads from Facebook.

Now that your automation is complete, you can rest assured that your team will be notified instantly whenever a new lead is generated, thanks to Pabbly Connect.
