How to Avoid the Sneaky Setting that Kills Your Facebook Ads

Introduction

Are you a Facebook advertiser running lead campaigns using instant forms? If so, you might be missing out on valuable leads, all because of a default setting. In this article, we will explain how to change this setting and highlight its importance in generating more leads for your business. By taking just 30 seconds to adjust this setting, you can significantly boost your lead generation from Facebook and Instagram ads.

The Sneaky Setting: Defaulted for Missed Opportunities

Many advertisers are unaware of a default setting in Facebook’s lead campaigns using instant forms. This setting, if left unchanged, can prevent potential leads from reaching your business. By default, Facebook allows advertisers to receive leads directly through Facebook’s own CRM system. While this may seem convenient, it actually leads to missed opportunities and lost leads.

The Problem with Facebook’s CRM System

When a lead is captured through Facebook’s CRM system, the advertiser receives a notification with the lead’s information. However, there are significant limitations to this system. Firstly, the notification is sent to the advertiser’s Facebook inbox, which is not always checked regularly. This means that potential leads might go unnoticed for hours or even days. Additionally, the lead information is not automatically synced with your own CRM or email marketing software, making it difficult to follow up with leads in a timely manner.

Changing the Setting: A Game-Changer for Lead Generation

Changing the default setting takes just 30 seconds and can have a massive impact on your lead generation efforts. By adjusting the setting to integrate with your preferred CRM or email marketing software, you can ensure that leads are automatically synced and promptly followed up on. This small change can make a world of difference in converting leads into paying customers.

Here’s how you can change the setting:

1. Navigate to your Facebook Ads Manager.
2. Select the campaign using instant forms that you want to update.
3. Click on the “Leads Setup” tab.
4. Locate the “CRM Integration” section.
5. Choose your preferred CRM or email marketing software from the dropdown menu.
6. Follow the prompts to connect your chosen CRM or email marketing software.
7. Save your changes.
