Step Three: Link the Form to an Emailing Tool
Each emailing tool has different options – some can be connected directly to the form (Drip, Ecomail , Leadhub, Mailchimp), with others you will have to use an intermediate step in the form of an integration platform. To demonstrate a direct connection, we chose the Drip tool . Just set the Submitted a lead ad via Facebook trigger for the given Workflow (Figure 1) and select the correct form (Figure 2).
To keep track of which contacts entered your database through this instagram database form, set up a new rule in the Rules section of Workflow that will assign the correct tag to the contact .
You can find the connection between Ecomail and Facebook Leads Ads in the tool's support article , as well as the connection to the Leadhub tool .
For emailing tools that cannot be connected directly, use an integration platform such as Make or Zapier. We will use SmartEmailing and Make for this example .
1. In SmartEmailing, first prepare a new list of contacts to which leads will be sent.
2. In the Make tool, create a new scenario , the first one being Facebook Leads Ads → New Lead. Use the Add button to link it to your FB profile and the correct form.
3. As the second part of the scenario, select SmartEmailing → Create or Update Contact and connect to the tool again via the Add button. Here, however, you will need to know your SmartEmailing username (the email address your SmartEmailing account is based on) and the API key, which you must generate in the emailing tool .
4. Then you select what data from the form you want to transfer and where the contacts should be saved (the list created at the beginning).
5. Finally, set the option for the scenario to transfer data immediately and run the scenario.
