How to connect Facebook Lead Ads with amoCRM

Connect Facebook Lead Ads to amoCRM with LeadsBridge

Facebook Lead Ads » amoCRM

In this article, you'll learn how to set up the bridge and connect Facebook Lead Ads to My CRM Example using LeadsBridge.

Benefits

Facebook Lead Ads are a type of ads specifically designed to collect leads. In comparison to traditional ads that drive to website landing pages, with Facebook Lead Ads, the process of generating leads on Facebook is much easier. When users click on a Lead Ad on Facebook they instantly visualize a registration form to leave their data, without leaving the social network and the opt-in forms are pre-filled. Moreover, Facebook Lead Ads are optimized for mobile navigation and allow advertisers to easily collect leads from smartphones and tablets. User's data are automatically added by Facebook which takes them from their profiles.

Common questions for Facebook Lead Ads

How to test Facebook Lead Ads?

To test Facebook Lead Ads and ensure their effectiveness, you can utilize the Facebook Lead Ads testing tool provided by LeadsBridge. This tool allows you to test your Lead Ads before they are released, providing you with the opportunity to evaluate the performance of your Lead Generation Form without even viewing the Ads on the Facebook platform.

 

Once you have created a bridge on LeadsBridge, it will be in active status automatically. This means that any mock lead sent through this tool will also be synced with your destination, ensuring a seamless connection between Facebook and your preferred marketing application.

 

To proceed with testing your Facebook Ads through LeadsBridge, follow these steps:

 

  1. Begin by creating a Facebook Leads Ads integration as outlined in this documentation.
  2. Once you have connected your "Source," which in this case is Facebook Lead Ads, and your "Destination" apps, and authorized the necessary accounts, move on to field mapping.
  3. Now, it's time to test the connection between your Facebook Form for Lead Ads and your destination platform, such as CRMs or Autoresponders. This testing phase further guarantees flawless execution. Follow these steps:
    - On the field mapping screen, locate the "Test connection" button at the bottom.
    - Fill in the required information and click "Run test".
    - Finally, click "Save & publish".

 

It's important to keep in mind that when using the LeadsBridge testing tool, any mock leads sent cannot be found on Facebook.

 

Then you have to set up your Facebook Lead Ads testing tool on Facebook, as well. 

Follow these steps:

 

  1. Access the Facebook for Developers platform and open the Facebook Lead Ads testing tool.
  2. Choose a "Page" and select a "Form".
  3. Click on "Create lead" to generate a new lead associated with the selected form. An email (test@fb.com) will be created as well.

 

If the setup is correct, you will see the following:

  • The lead will appear in your CRM or other destination platforms.
  • In the Leads Table of your bridge, the lead will be highlighted in green and marked as "Synced".
  • Any errors encountered can be viewed in the Error Table associated with your LB account.

How to export your leads from Facebook Lead Ads

There are three ways to export leads from Facebook Lead Ads. 

 

  1. Manual Download (CSV format): This method involves downloading the leads in CSV format and then uploading them to a CRM or autoresponder for nurturing. While not the most recommended option due to manual handling drawbacks, combining CSV - Facebook Ads datasets allows you to create data visualizations and dashboards across your marketing stacks. You can download leads from Ads Manager or your Facebook page.
  2. API Download: Facebook provides the option to download leads through the API (application programming interface). To use this method, you need programming knowledge and must create an API. You'll also require the page access token and user access token, along with advertiser-level permissions.
  3. Facebook Lead Ads Automation: After capturing leads from your Facebook Lead Ads campaigns, you can automate the process of nurturing and following up with them. By connecting Facebook Lead Ads to your CRM or email marketing platform through LeadsBridge, you can sync lead data in real-time and gain valuable insights to optimize your campaigns, such as individual ads' ROI. Automation offers higher data accuracy compared to manual transfers, which are prone to errors.
