Most powerful ways to connect FreshBooks and Facebook Lead Ads
Facebook Lead Ads + FreshBooks + Slack: When a new lead is submitted via Facebook Lead Ads, the automation searches for the client in FreshBooks. If the client doesn't exist, it creates a new client. Finally, a Slack notification is sent to the sales team with the new lead information and a link to the FreshBooks client profile, if it exists.
Facebook Lead Ads + FreshBooks + Google Sheets: Upon receiving a new lead from Facebook Lead Ads, the automation creates a new client in FreshBooks and then logs the lead's details, including a link to their FreshBooks profile, in a Google Sheet.
