Instantly is a service that provides a solid set of tools for email marketing. This platform allows you to flexibly manage your mailings and analyze their performance. It helps businesses not only increase the efficiency of email campaigns but also quickly scale them. In our article, you will learn how to set up Instantly and Facebook integration using the SaveMyLeads online connector. Automating the transfer of leads from a social network to Instantly will speed up the process of working with them as part of launched campaigns and will also allow you to give them prompt feedback.

The social network Facebook has long been successfully used as a platform for marketing. Here, you can advertise and sell a variety of products and services, as well as “catch” new leads. One of the most effective and cost-effective ways to interact with potential and existing clients is email newsletters. Today, many services provide this function. For example, using Instantly, you can flexibly and efficiently set up effective email campaigns for leads from Facebook. Anyone who has ever done this has encountered the need to upload leads from the social network to Instantly. If you perform the data transfer procedure manually, you will waste valuable time. In addition, the manual method of transferring leads is associated with an increased risk of mistakes made due to inattention. The most common are missing leads and errors in personal data. And these are not all the disadvantages of manual transfer. You will need to constantly monitor the emergence of new potential clients, and this is very time-consuming. If time is truly valuable to you and you don't want to fall behind faster competitors, automate this process.

To automate the transfer of lead data from the social network to the marketing service, you need to integrate both platforms. We recommend using our online connector SaveMyLeads for this. With a properly configured Facebook Lead Ads and Instantly integration, each new lead will automatically, without your direct participation, go to your work account in Instantly – directly to the campaign you created.
