Connect Facebook Lead Ads and Airtable

Marketers who run lead forms on Facebook and track prospects in an Airtable base can let FlowMattic fill the base for them. Each new lead becomes a record with the answers in the fields you pick, and later steps can score, sort or chase it, all from a workflow on your own WordPress site.

When Facebook Lead Ads fires New Lead, FlowMattic runs Create Record in Airtable with the data from that event.

You build this in the FlowMattic workflow builder on your own site. See the setup steps

Facebook Lead Ads and Airtable workflows you can build

Each one uses only triggers and actions the two integrations ship today, plus FlowMattic's own tools. Where the library has a ready-made template, import it instead of building from scratch.

Save each Facebook lead as an Airtable record

The base becomes the single list sales works from. Name, email, phone and form answers land in their own fields, ready for views, filters and linked tables.

Send each lead form to its own Airtable table

A Router checks which form the lead came from, so webinar sign-ups, quote requests and newsletter leads each fill a table built for their questions.

Flag leads nobody has contacted after a day

Create the record, wait a day, read it back and check its status field. If it still says new, an email goes to the sales lead with the prospect's details.

Score each lead with AI before it reaches the base

An AI Agent reads the form answers, rates how ready the person is to buy and writes a one-line reason. Both go into fields, so reps can sort the base by score.

Copy a form's older leads into Airtable

For leads that arrived before the workflow existed, Retrieve Leads pulls the form's list and an Iterator writes each person as a record, so the base starts complete.

Assign an owner and campaign name from the form ID

A Lookup Table turns the form ID into a readable campaign name and the rep who owns it, so every record arrives already assigned instead of waiting for someone to triage it.

Set up: each lead as a record

When you are done, every lead from the form you choose arrives in your Airtable table as a new record.

  1. Shape the table

    In Airtable, add fields for the answers you collect, such as Name, Email, Phone, Form and Status, so each one has a place to go.

  2. Add both connections

    Under Connects in FlowMattic, connect the Facebook account that manages your page and the Airtable account that owns the base.

  3. Pick New Lead

    Start a workflow with Facebook Lead Ads and New Lead, choose the page and form, and submit a test lead to capture its fields.

  4. Map Create Record

    Add an Airtable step with Create Record, choose the base and table, match the lead fields to Airtable fields, test it and turn the workflow on.

Triggers and actions in this pair

A trigger starts a workflow. An action is something FlowMattic does in the app as a step.

Good to know

  • Facebook Lead Ads gives FlowMattic one trigger, New Lead, plus the Retrieve Leads action, so Airtable cannot start a workflow that changes anything in Facebook.
  • The fields you see depend on the questions in your lead form, so the mapping above is only an example.
  • Airtable's New Record trigger can start a second workflow, for example to email a welcome message once a lead has been added to the base.

Why run this pair with FlowMattic

Facebook Lead Ads and Airtable connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.

Leads pass through your own site

Contact details go from Facebook to Airtable through your WordPress server, not through an outside automation account.

Big campaigns need no bigger plan

Runs are unlimited on every plan, so a form that fills hundreds of records a day costs the same as one that fills a handful.

Records can be updated later

Airtable's Update Record and Get Record actions let later steps add a score, an owner or a follow-up status to the same record.

Common questions

How does the Facebook Lead Ads Airtable integration work?

FlowMattic listens for New Lead on the form you pick and runs Create Record in the Airtable base and table you choose. You map each lead field to an Airtable field once, test the step with a sample lead and switch the workflow on.

Can different forms fill different tables?

Yes. Put a Router after New Lead with one path per form, and point each path's Create Record step at its own table or base.

Can I add leads that came in before the workflow?

Yes. Run Retrieve Leads for the form, loop over the results with Iterator and create a record for each one. You can run it once from a Schedule and then switch it off.

Can FlowMattic delete or update a lead record?

Yes. Airtable's actions include Update Record and Delete Record, so a later workflow can change a record's status or remove test leads.
