A business without automation is unlikely to become successful today. Progressive entrepreneurs and companies are trying to optimize work processes as much as possible in order to save time and budget, as well as gain a competitive advantage. For this purpose, automation services, system connectors, and artificial intelligence are used. If you use Facebook Lead Ads to promote products or services, as well as collect feedback from clients, and Freshdesk to support, you can significantly speed up and simplify your work. To do this, you just need to connect both platforms with each other using our SaveMyLeads online connector. It will allow you to automate the transfer of leads from a social network to the "help desk" service and the creation of new contacts in the latter. This will eliminate the need for time-consuming manual data transfer.

Our step-by-step instructions will help you set up and launch the Facebook and Freshdesk integration correctly. If you are still in doubt, we have prepared several compelling arguments why you should still use the SaveMyLeads connector.
