Today, in e-commerce, the use of advertising accounts in various social networks is a common phenomenon. Thanks to its multimillion-dollar audience, Facebook is widely popular with various types of businesses. Here, business accounts offer ample opportunities for users to set up targeting, generate new leads, launch advertising campaigns.

As a rule, in order to effectively conduct business, companies cannot do without various services, systems and applications for e-commerce, since without them most of the actions will have to be performed manually, and this is a long and painstaking work that will have to be done over and over again. For example, if you do not set up automatic uploading of new leads from your Facebook advertising account to the CRM system in order to work with them, then some of the potential buyers who have shown interest in your Facebook ad will constantly be lost.

The main reason is that managers will not have time to respond to their requests, especially after a successful advertising campaign, when the number of new leads increases significantly. The Facebook advertising account does not have the functionality of a CRM system, for example, it cannot be integrated with the SMS, mailing service, or IP telephony.

If you set up automatic uploading of leads from an advertising account in the form of new contacts to a CRM system, for example, Pipedrive, then it will be convenient to work with them in the future: keep the entire history of complete interaction with customers in a single interface. You can set up SMS and email campaigns, store information about the clients and the entire history of interaction with them, create client bases, form groups according to various criteria, and much more.

To set up automatic uploading of leads from your Facebook ad account to Pipedrive CRM system, you will need to integrate the systems.

In order to connect the work of the Facebook advertising account and the Pipedrive CRM system via API, you need to understand the features of sending API requests and understand how to work with the API protocol. If you do not have knowledge in programming, and there is no IT specialist in the company's staff, then you can use the services of a hired one. But you will have to allocate a budget for his services, plus a hired programmer may have little experience. As a result, you will lose not only money, but also time.

Today, effective e-commerce cannot do without automation: businesses are constantly connecting new payment systems, delivery services, ways of communicating with customers, for example, chat bots, to make interaction with customers even easier and more comfortable for them. Therefore, it is unlikely that it will be possible to do without new integrations of services and systems. Usually, having felt the benefits of automation, a business seeks to get rid of all routine tasks, because it is not only effective, but also profitable. Therefore, each time you have to look for an experienced programmer or hire such an employee to set up a new system connection.

In order not to face various problems associated with system integration, use the SaveMyLeads online connector.
