    Set up fields

    This step is to specify the fields. Each field corresponds to a column in a selected Google Spreadsheet. Specify the values for these fields from the Facebook drop-down list. Use the fields that are necessary for the correct processing of leads.

    We advise you to send user contacts and name, as well as Ad/campaign ID.

    Now select the rule for duplicate processing. Each new lead is a unique entity, so select «always create a record».

    The automation is created, don’t forget to start it!

    Example of the automation:

    Attention! If you have created a page with Ad lead and cannot find it in Albato even after updating the data. Please open the business integrations settings of FB «Albato» and check the required pages with lead forms.  https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=business_tools
