Effectively communicating with potential customers gives companies a significant competitive advantage in their industry. Facebook's Lead Ads tool is specifically designed to speed up this process. With its help, leads can express their desire to purchase a product or order a service in a matter of seconds with just a few clicks. PostgreSQL is an object-relational database management system widely used in e-commerce. The lack of restrictions on the size of databases and tables makes it especially attractive for businesses. Our online connector SaveMyLeads offers a solution that allows you to integrate both systems and thus automate the transfer of data from Lead Ads directly to your DBMS. In this article, we will explain how to configure Facebook and PostgreSQL integration.

Automating the transfer of lead information from Facebook to PostgreSQL brings triple benefits:

  • Prompt feedback for leads reduces the risk of them abandoning their intentions.
  • Optimizing the workload on staff and freeing up resources to improve the quality of communication with clients.
  • Reducing time spent on routine work processes that require direct participation from you or your employees.

You will see the first results of PostgreSQL and Facebook integration immediately after completing its configuration using the SaveMyLeads connector. Leads who apply through the Lead Ads form will be automatically redirected to your DBMS. If you previously manually transferred contact information (names, phone numbers, email addresses), now this process will be fully automated. This will allow you to finally abandon outdated methods. Not only will this automation make your job easier, but it will also positively impact your leads' perception of your company, increasing the likelihood of them converting into repeat customers. Therefore, it will contribute to the growth and development of your business as a whole.
