In this article, you’ll learn how to set up a bridge to connect Facebook Lead Ads and your favorite marketing platform through LeadsBridge.
Benefits
Facebook Lead Ads is an advertising feature specifically designed to collect leads. While traditional ads redirect traffic to website landing pages, Facebook Lead Ads offer an easy solution to generate leads right on the platform.
Users who click on a Facebook Lead ad are presented with a registration form that is already pre-populated with their account information. They can submit the form in a few clicks and without leaving the social network.
The majority of users log in to their accounts through mobile devices. Accordingly, Facebook Lead Ads are compatible with mobile navigation, allowing advertisers to run optimized campaigns and collect leads from smartphone and tablet users easily.
When using LeadsBridge integrations, there is no longer a need to download Facebook leads manually. Instead, you can run everything from lead list updates, follow ups and welcome emails to managing conversions on autopilot.
Most Facebook Lead Ads integrations are included in our Freemium Plan. It means that you can use our integrations to connect Facebook Lead Ads with your favorite CRM or Autoresponder, and automate your workflows for free.
