Facebook is not only one of the most popular social networks in the world, but also a useful platform for doing business. By creating advertising pages, company owners or private entrepreneurs will be able to significantly expand their client base, generate new leads and work with them in the future.  

The functionality of Facebook allows you to work directly from your business account, but this is not very convenient, since most of the operations will have to be performed manually, it takes a lot of time. Plus, customers can come to you not only from this social network, but also from others, from the site, from advertising systems. 

To process them in one place, a Facebook ad account needs to be integrated, for example, with the CRM system AgileCRM. Thanks to this, you will be able to automatically transfer leads from Facebook in the form of deals to the CRM system and work with them in the future: create new deals, conduct through the sales funnel, form customer bases, etc. Integration allows you to automate business processes as much as possible and switch employees to perform more important tasks. In addition, the automation of routine processes helps to avoid various errors in the processing of incoming requests.

To configure the uploading of leads from Facebook to AgileCRM, you need to link the work of these systems via API. Facebook has ample opportunities for integration with other systems.
