The wide functionality of Facebook is actively used by different types of businesses. Thanks to the multibillion-dollar audience of the social network and the correct setting of advertising in your personal account, you can significantly increase your customer or lead base. Working directly in the advertising account is often not enough if you need to upload contact information to third-party systems in order to further interact with them.

One of these systems, which is often indispensable for different types of businesses, is email distribution services, such as Autopilot. With it, you can set up automatic distribution of promotional emails both to the client base and to new leads. As a result, you will constantly stir up the interest of customers in your company, products or services. The audience will be aware of new arrivals of goods, promotions and discounts. Regular mailings help to significantly increase the number of sales.

In online trading, quick interaction with new leads is a guarantee that they will become your clients and not go to competitors. After a new lead has shown interest in your ad, it is important to immediately interest them, and an email newsletter service will help to make this. To connect the work of the Facebook advertising account and the Autopilot email service, you will need to integrate them.

To implement the integration of Facebook and the Autopilot email service through the API platform, you need to understand the intricacies of API requests and be able to work with them. This may require the help of a programmer. If he is not on the staff of the company, then such a specialist can be hired from outside, but it can take a lot of time to find a really qualified IT specialist. As a result, you may lose some leads. And after you find a suitable specialist, you will depend on him in integrations, since online trading businesses often need to set up automatic data exchange between different services and applications. Once convinced of how much time and resources automation saves, a business seeks to get rid of routine processes as much as possible.

Of course, the easiest way to create a customer base for mailing is to instruct your employees to do it manually, but this is too labor-intensive, time-consuming process, mistakes are possible. Employees will have to spend time on routine instead of more important tasks. This is demotivating and leads to burnout.
