How to Export Facebook Leads Automatically




A few months Facebook had launched Lead Ads. With Lead Ads, you can generate leads on mobile without asking your users to fill up a form in a landing page. Facebook picks the information that the user has already given to Facebook and pre-populates the form. Users have to just click on the Submit button to send their Name, Email ID and Phone number to you.

The leads can be downloaded only from the Publishing Tools page as a CSV file and one had to export the leads to a CRM or a mailing platform manually. This doesn’t work for marketers because most of the communication is done via automated follow-up emails.

A few tools had come up in the middle to solve this problem. For example,ConnectLeads, a third party software exported the Leads from Facebook Lead Ads to any email marketing tool of your choice. ConnectLeads is an expensive tool and it is obselete now.

Now you can export your Facebook Leads in real time using Zapier. I useZapier to automate a lot of marketing tasks. For example, I even trigger a follow-up SMS using Zapier.

How to Connect Facebook Lead Ads and Zapier

First you need a Zapier account for this to work. Zapier gives you a 14-day free trial and then the plan starts from $20 a month. Free trial registration doesn’t require a credit card, so you can just go ahead and sign up with an email ID.
  • Click on Make a New Zap. 
  • Select Facebook Lead Ads as the trigger. 
  • Next, select New Lead as the trigger. 

Next, give permission to Zapier to Access your Facebook Account. You can connect multiple Facebook accounts to one Zapier account. Inside Zapier, you can rename the account into a specific name. In the next step select the page from which the leads are generated. While you create Facebook Lead Ads, you would have created a new Lead Ads form. Choose the Form here.

In Zapier, every Zap has a trigger and an action. Here, the trigger is a new Lead in Facebook Lead Ads, and the action can be anything you want. Ideally, the best way would be to take the new lead and put it on a Google sheet.
After that you can transfer the lead to an Email marketing tool or even trigger an SMS if you are collecting phone numbers.

In the above screenshot, you can see that Aweber is one of the options in the ‘Action’. Every new lead generated with Facebook Lead Ads can be automatically added to an Aweber list.

If you have follow up emails configured in Aweber, then the emails will be triggered automatically from your follow-up series.
Final Words


Even if you are not running Facebook Lead Ads right now, I recommend that you give it a try. It will cost less than $10 to generate a bunch of leads on Facebook. Zapier has a 14-day free trial and you can sign up for a free Mailchimp account and import the leads into your Mailchimp list.

How to Improve SEO Rankings with Google Plus

In our attempts to improve SEO rankings we do miracles and try everything we can think of. Of course, even if we could, it makes no sense to try absolutely everything. What makes the most sense, is to try something that does have a great effect on our SEO rankings, yet is not known to everybody and their brother. G+, Google's social network meets these requirements – seems to do miracles for rankings, while most people, (except those who try everything), who do employ social networks for SEO, concentrate their efforts on Facebook because it is more popular than G+. However, it turns out G+ pays more for our efforts than Facebook and the other social networks. Here is why. Why Google Plus Is Especially Important for SEO While Google denies any direct relationship between Google Plus content and activity on one hand and SEO rankings on other, very often good ranking sites have good Google Plus activity. While in theory, this could be pure coincidence, the results speak fo...
