Facebook with its huge audience is an excellent platform for advertising campaigns. The social network offers a whole range of tools for promotion, communication with customers and lead generation. Facebook lead forms allow you to accept applications and collect user contacts. This simple tool helps you grow your business and expand your customer base even without your own website or landing page.

How does Facebook lead generation work? An advertising offer is made in the form of a special form, with the help of which the client answers questions and fills in various fields. Thus, through Facebook, customer can order a product or consultation, subscribe to a service, etc. Leads are recorded in the advertising account, and the responsible employee must regularly check for new orders and process them.

A quick response to customer requests on Facebook is an essential factor for high-quality lead processing and increasing customer loyalty. However, it is not always possible to constantly log in and monitor the FB advertising account. One of the most effective solutions to this problem is notifications of new leads in the messenger. For example, it could be a Slack channel.

Slack is a convenient corporate messenger with impressive functionality and a large number of settings. Employees can start different channels for certain departments or tasks. For example, you can create a special channel and connect managers responsible for processing leads from Facebook there. If you set up automatic notifications to such a channel about new orders via Facebook, then the work of managers is greatly simplified, and the speed of processing leads increases.

Almost all modern services come with the ability to create links with third-party systems. If there are no suitable ready-made solutions for integrations, then you can turn to programmers for help. However, a company does not always have an IT department, and hiring specialists specifically to create integrations is a rather costly and irrational solution. What to do if you need to link two services, but you don’t want to allocate a budget for the services of IT specialists and spend an impressive time resource? You can use special online connectors that help you create integrations without special knowledge and significant financial costs.
