With Facebook ads, eCommerce business owners can significantly increase their customer base and sales. Despite the broad functionality of the advertising office, it is not very convenient to work with new leads in it, for example, managers have to constantly monitor incoming requests and quickly respond to them.

If the account is just gaining a client base, then at first managers will be able to work with clients without automation, although this will take up a lot of their time, which they can spend on more important tasks. But if you already have a large audience, you cannot do without third-party services. With a large flow of requests, managers will no longer be able to process them, as a result, some of the new leads will be left unattended and will be lost.

To avoid this, you need to configure the unloading of potential customers into a service that will allow you to conveniently work with them in a single interface, for example, in Intercom. The functionality of this site allows you to organize effective interaction with new requests:

To set up automatic uploading of leads from an advertising account on Facebook to the Intercom service, you need to integrate them via API. As a result, you will not miss a single lead, you will be able to effectively work with them in a user-friendly interface and automate a number of business processes.

If you or your employees are knowledgeable in programming and in the features of the API, you can set up the integration on your own. But if you do not have knowledge in development, then you can turn to an IT specialist for help. But this is a waste of time and money.
