Create FunnelKit CRM contact from new Facebook Lead Ads leads
Every new Facebook Lead Ads lead is added to FunnelKit Automations as a contact on your WordPress site, so people who fill in your Facebook lead form are ready for your FunnelKit follow-ups.

What this workflow does
Facebook lead forms collect contact details inside Facebook, away from your website. If your email follow-up runs in FunnelKit Automations on WordPress, that gap is time when nobody hears from you. This workflow moves each lead across as it comes in.
The Facebook Lead Ads New Lead trigger fires when a new lead is created. FlowMattic receives the answers the person gave. The second step runs Create New Contact in FunnelKit Automations, the plugin also known as Autonami, and builds the contact from the lead fields you map, such as the email address and name.
Because FunnelKit Automations runs on your own WordPress site, the contact is stored there, next to FlowMattic. The template stops after the contact is created. It does not add lists or tags, although FunnelKit's FlowMattic actions include Add Lists to Contact and Add Tags to Contact if you want to extend it. Task History records each run and the response from FunnelKit.
Lead magnet ads
You run a Facebook ad offering a checklist in exchange for an email. Each person who fills in the form becomes a FunnelKit contact you can send the checklist to.
Webinar sign-ups from Facebook
A lead form collects names and emails for a free webinar. The registrants arrive in FunnelKit Automations, where your reminder emails are set up.
Local service enquiries
A home services company asks for a phone number and postcode in its lead form. Those details land in FunnelKit as contacts the team can follow up from WordPress.
How this workflow runs
What happens at each step once the workflow is on, and what you need before you import it.
Facebook Lead Ads New LeadFires when someone fills in your Facebook lead form and a new lead is created. The lead's form answers are captured for mapping into FunnelKit.
- Autonami Create New Contact
Creates a new contact in FunnelKit Automations (Autonami) from the lead. Map the Facebook lead's email and any other answers you want stored, then run a test to confirm the contact appears.
What you need
- FlowMatticCore
- Facebook Lead Ads AccountAccount
- FunnelKit Automations ( Autonami ) PluginPlugin
After importing, map your own data. To keep the template universal, not every step is pre-filled. Open each step in the builder and connect your accounts and fields (channels, lists, sheets, recipients) before you switch the workflow on.
Make it yours
Changes worth making after you import it.
- Add an Add Tags to Contact step after Create New Contact and tag the person with the ad or form name, so you can tell Facebook leads apart from other sign-ups in FunnelKit.
- Use Add Lists to Contact as a third step to place every Facebook lead in a list that your FunnelKit automations already use.
- Submit one test lead through your Facebook lead form after import, so FlowMattic captures real form answers that you can map.
Questions about this workflow
What happens if the Facebook lead is already a FunnelKit contact?
The template uses Create New Contact, not an update action. Test with an email that already exists in FunnelKit and check the response in Task History to see how your setup handles it.
Does this need FunnelKit Automations installed on my site?
Yes. FunnelKit Automations (Autonami) must be active on the same WordPress site as FlowMattic, since the contact is created there.
Will leads collected before I import the workflow be added?
No. Only leads created after the workflow is switched on are sent to FunnelKit.
Can I add the Facebook leads to a FunnelKit list or tag?
Not as imported. Add the Add Lists to Contact or Add Tags to Contact action after the contact step to do that.
