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.
Ready-made template
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.
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.
New Lead→Router→Create Record
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.
New Lead→Create Record→Delay→Get Record→Filter→Email (SMTP)
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.
New Lead→AI Agent→Create Record
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.
Schedule→Retrieve Leads→Iterator→Create Record
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.
New Lead→Lookup Table→Create Record
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.
