Facebook Lead Ads make connecting with and expanding your audience easy. When someone clicks on your lead ad, their contact information from Facebook is automatically added to the lead ad form.

Thanks to Zapier doing what they do best, you can easily transfer those Facebook Lead Ads submissions to Pipedrive as contact people. Custom fields are supported as well, so you can create custom filters to categorize incoming people.

What you'll need

Here are some things to know before you begin this process.

• You'll need Pipedrive, Facebook and Zapier accounts. To learn more about Zapier, check out this article
• Zapier’s Facebook Leads Ads Zap is a Premium app. To use it, you’ll need a Zapier paid plan
• To complete this process, you'll set up a Lead Ad in Facebook and create a connecting Zap in Zapier, which will add new leads to your Pipedrive people list

Setting up your Facebook Lead Ad

To ensure you collect the most useful information from leads, the fields included in your Lead Ad form should match the fields in your Pipedrive people profiles. You can customize your people fields in your Pipedrive account.

Before you begin creating your lead ads campaign, we advise having someone from your legal team review the questions you plan to ask on your form, as well as go over the lead ads policies and terms of service. Once you're ready, make sure you also have:

• Access to your business's Facebook Page
• The URL to your business's privacy policy
• An image for your ad
  
  

Ad

• Go to your Facebook Business account
• In your Facebook Business account, click "Create Ad" in the top right
• Choose Get more leads as your ad goal, then "On Facebook" in the next window
• Afterward, you will customize your contact card, and click Next
• In the last window, you will fill in your description, budget, audience, and other details, then hit Promote now
  

Campaign

• Go to your Power Editor and click +Create
  • You can also create or manage your Ad sets and Ads by clicking on those tabs in the Power Editor

  • If you have not agreed to the terms of service yet, you will be prompted to review and agree to them before you can move to the next step
• Enter your ad set details
  • Choose the audience for your ads, such as location, interests, age and gender
  • Set your budget, schedule, audience, placement, optimization, pricing and delivery type. You cannot target lead ads to people under the age of 18

• Enter your ad details (name, text, images, etc.) and then click Publish
  

After you set up your lead ad, test it to see how it appears on desktop and mobile devices.
